Hbkid's rebuild (slowly) - "RHINO"
I am liking this thread looking at all the builds. Figured I should start mine and update as I go....I did buy this done as it sits now but will be upgrading parts overtime or when they break! It will be good to get everyone's input on what I have already (any experience) and also reviews on what I am looking at upgrading to...
I was fortunate to find this jeep with 29K miles on it already done so I figured for my first one get something already done and figure out what I like and dont like....

I wouldnt believe Eddie would go with a bolt-on factory set for Moby but if so that is good news!

Nope, you're right, it's welded.

Thanks. And I have no clue why they would glue the carpet down. I don't even know who did it but this will be a fun challenge for the next week or so. It is slow going.

Slow go on the carpet. Finally decided to take it into shop next week and let them have at it! Also CB is planned for end of month. Still debating which one so any input is appreciated.
Also, on another note. If you had the choice of getting new axles or a bolt-on coilover kit from ORE which one? I already have a 3" pro comp lift on now tho.

What axles are we talking about? Both axles? PR?

The evo bolt on CO's front and rear and all the other components to complete the lift would cost just about as much as a complete PR44...just to point this out

I was going to go with PR 44 front and rear.

The main question is what should I do first.

There is no pr 44 for the rear. Just a trail 60 or pro rock 60. Is the next step up.

I didn't know that. Thanks. Would it be better to go with a Dana front and rear then or do a Dana front and PR44 rear? Writing out the long Christmas list and starting to budget!

I forgot to put 44, but your better off with your factory rear axle. And a pr44 up front.

Got it now. I am still new and learning all this and I always thought you wanted to upgrade both or the rear but it sounds like the front is the more important. Makes a little more sense now. Thanks.

Being you have a x model, your rear axle is better than a Rubicon if you want to put a locker. The front d30 is your weak link. Good luck with your build. Looking good!
