Looks like it’s going to be an awesome build! Can’t wait to see it come together

Hello all. I’ve been a Wayalife member for 5 years. I had a 2013 JKUR on 35”s that was super capable. I’ve sold the Jeep. Got a Tacoma TRD PRO and recently purchased a YJ. My plan is make a great on road rig that is also great off road.
I’m starting with a stock 2.5l base model with 135k that I picked up for 2k. It’s got Factory half doors. The previous owner put on 30x9.5 tires, fixed the drivers floor pan and passenger frame.
I’ve also got an 03’ 5.3l from a Cenvy Avalanche. A rebuilt NP231 with SYE from Mountain Garage, and a Ford 8.8 rear with disc brakes. I’m looking now for an AX-15 tranny to replace the AX-5.
I’ll be working with Mike G. He’s the owner of Country Built LLC out of eastern PA. He’s been in the Offroad community through rock crawling competition, Jeep Jamborees, and camp Jeep since the 90’s and is s master builder and fabricator. Follow along as the build comes together and this little YJ becomes my dream build.

Sounds like fun! I'll definitely be following along.
Here’s my starting point. 1988 2.5l with 4 cylinders of fury. This engine when it’s running right really is not bad. Sure it’s a dog on the highway but it’s TBI fuel injected, which is better than the 4.2l carborated version of the same year, and paired with the right gearing makes a solid off road machine.
This one however is suffering from a blown head gasket, leaking clutch cylinder and a miriad of other woes.
The beauty part is that in the 4cyl trim came with 4.10 gears in the axles. Which is desirable for any tire upgrades. Yes I am swapping out the rear for a late model ford 8.8 but guess what, those are also available in 4.10. And offer rear disc brakes. Which is way better than the drums on the D35.
