bought another 2.5L

[lax22]

Well I sold my 97 this past spring to buy my LJ.  Well this past weekend i bought another 4-banger. So its back to modding the little engine that could. Its an all stock 97 SE with bare bones package, no AC, no tilt steering, no center console, but has power steering and the nicer seats. Other than that its factory magenta and has 181K. Have to fix some rear tub corner damage and cover it up with the Gen Right shorty's that came with it but its cool and definately different.



Once i get it inspected the real fun can begin.

Can´t say it's my favorite color, but it seems to be in good condition...

It's always strange to see old YJ wheels on a TJ.  Those are Mopar 5-Holes.  Used to love the look of those wheels.  They're 8" wide so they're good for up to 12.5's.  The color isn't the greatest BUT no one will steal it!

looks like it's in really good shape, good find

x3 on the pepto-bismol color but that's less important and more on a personal preference - a bit strange to see it on a Jeep though, probably was a chick ride so that's kinda cute i guess - it's also unique, surely one of a kind and easy to spot and probably like Jeffy said no-one would steal it

Yeah it was his daughters and she wouldnt drive it with the tub damage.

So far what i've done is add factory fogs and tow hooks i had in the shed along with a 4.0TB. Picked up a kilby gas tank skid and Still need an upstream 02 sensor

Future mods that i have and need to install
Genrite shorty's
Kilby tank skid
warn steering box skid
warn dana 30 diff guard
Rubicon suspension (because the one on there is beat)
TJ rear dana 44 and driveshaft
Advanced Adapters t-case arm bracket
32X11.50's on soft 8's
bikini top windjammer and duster

Need to get/decide
rocker guards
Tube fenders
Some kind of bumper or at least a front reciever
rear reciever
need to decide on either a BL or the budget boost i already have
need to decide if i am going to keep the factory slip yolk or add the sye i already have
need to decide wheather or not i am going to finish piecing together the 4-inch lift i have or just stay with the budget boost and go belly up with the sye and adjustable rear upper arms that i already have.

Hey man,

Glad you found your way over here. its a good site. PM me the details on the springs. Not sure if i am going that route but i'll entertain it for sure. Thanks for the heads up.

I will trade you the full doors for half doors, I dont know if you could match that color though. lol

[Torch_Ind]

not big on the color,  but happy your running jeeps 2.5's 

I have been thinking about getting a stocker for more commuting

[lax22]

yeah the color is what it is. I can stand it for what i paid but might do something different with it. I havent decided.

[Jeffy]

I'd just keep the color.  You don't see too many that color and they're easy to spot in a parking lot.    Looks like it's a solid paint job too.  No signs of peeling or worn clear coat.

[jfrabat]

I'd keep the color also.  Just put some black on it (say, new fenders, line-X'ed front and rear bumpers, crusher corners, and roker guards) and call it good...

[Torch_Ind]

To close of a pink color for me.  if it was my wife's maybe.

[lax22]

Yeah already have some gen-rite shorties for it that are going on this weekend. Been eyeing up some rocker guargs and tube fenders. Have to sell some stuff first, tnen i can start putting more into this. Been raining for the last 4 days but looks like it may be done so i can get to work on it.

cool! heh
