Hi-lift jack mount?

 

[NHarris]

Not yet. That is coming though. It'll mount on a basket on the roof. That basket will mount to a roof rack.

 

[Ronin8002]

winch?

 

[lynchy wa]

A diecast hot wheel's grand cherokee?

 

[Joe Dirt]

Is it a full set of knight's armor with BrianDye inside of it?

I didn't say it was rusty :

 

[Joe Dirt]

Ouch!!!

 

[NHarris]

Found a nice '84 Fox Body 5.0 modded. Could that possibly be my next whip...

 

[lynchy wa]

The only pic's I have found of an '84 fox body have been of 'stang's, is that the one you're looking at?

Yeah. They are Fox Body Mustangs. Just a nickname for the style.

 

[NHarris]

Going back to a second gen.... new registry and pics will come sometime this summer when I decide to throw a lift on

 

[lynchy wa]

Sweet mate!!!

 

[NHarris]

Wow I drove another 5.0 v8 today and holy sh*t! That thing sounds amazing stock. One of those with a lift would be awesome, but they all seem to be over priced. I'm going to try to talk down a SOHC V6 owner from $3000 to $2000ish or lower. The timing cassette in the rear is broken and thats a $2500 fix. So far here's the best 2nd gen Ive found (SOHC V6). 2 Power, leather seats; clean inside and out, new tires, little rust, good suspension, etc, etc.

The looking continues...

 

[lynchy wa]

How goes the search amigo? And did you sell your 3rd gen mate? Those V8's are pretty much bullet proof, might be worth considering

 

[NHarris]

Ah the search goes well. Been looking at v8's lately but this one in Idaho has caught my eye and its a V6....

Its got 31's and a safari rack

 

[NHarris]

So I'm probably going to go with a grand cherokee after driving a few 2nd gen explorers I have come to the conclusion that I don't fit into 2nd gens very well. Today I looked at 2 Lifted Grand Cherokees and I fit in those very nice, plenty of leg room and headroom.

 

[lynchy wa]

What year are those j***s you're looking at Nate? It was the lack of head/leg room in the later model's that pushed me toward's my 3rd gen in the first place. I liked the old wagoneer but then you start thinking IH scout and invariably end up with a Bronco! The hemi is a bonus tho'!

 

[Hitchhikingmike]

Say good by to a lader type frame! Your going to a uni-body:

 

[Glen4X4]

Does this mean the 3rd Gen is going?

 

[NHarris]

Does this mean the 3rd Gen is going?

Well either way the 3rd gen is going. It will be sold or my dad may get it and drive it for a few years. Possibly may go to a 1st or 2nd gen explorer. But so far the Jeeps seem to fit me better.

I'm digging the I6 jeep, but the V8 one does have a few pluses.
First Jeep: An I6, fully done front and rear suspension with a 3" lift on 31's

Second Jeep: A V8 2" coil lift on 31's
