Congratulations on your new rig. Can't wait to see the pics and the build up specs.
Anthony

I guess that means you don't want to buy a Jeep already outfitted and ready to go? Bummer :cry:
Sory Paul. I am just not hip enough to be square. :lol:
Well, what did you get? Inquiring minds want to know.
Are the squirrels as angry in this one as the last one ??? Time for a V-8 ???
Another 97 TJ, 4 banger, 5 speed, AC, hardtop, 31 at's with 107 k on the ticker for 3850.00. low blue book on this was 5375.00.
Body is clean besides normal stuff, the inside needs some serious cleaning done. Is is dark blue like Cody's
Over all i am pretty happy with it for the price i payed. I am gonna drive it the rest of this week probally to burn out the gas that he said has been in there since last may (thats may of 06) It was missing a little under load so i figured there had to be water in the gas from sitting that long. Then it is time for a tune up and 35's again.
Wrenching Fest at Neils !!!! Let us know when !@
That i will. I will probally do alot of it after work though. I like to tinker after i get home late at night. Tony you might just have to stop by for a beer 1 night after work at 4 am :D

Thanks Cody. Tomorrow is gonna be a clean up day on it to start with. Feel free to stop by.

You have my vote to come back in the club :mrgreen:
Do we have to let him back in? Really?
;)
let get them 35 under it and go to vassar sat mornin i'll come over tomorrow or whenever lets get er dun
I'm up for Vassar this Saturday. I don't want to go to the mounds. Just my two cents though.
At this point it will probally be next week when i get to the lift i need to sell a few things to buy the other stuff i am lacking then i will get it all done.
Got to check it out today, Neil got a hell of a deal!
WPWP
I did the first wash on it today but it is still nasty dirty. Gonna clean it more tomorrow then take pictures. Worse case you will all see it Saturday.

Damn that thing sits low - did you bust your shins trying to get in it? :lol:
Sure did. Actually when i got in it at the guys house i hit my darn head on the roll bar :oops:
I really like your spare. :mrgreen:
I know the jeep is ugly but i didn't get it for that ugly stuff. you must look past the ungly to see the beauty :D
Not bad looking Neil, "Mall Wheeler" sorry couldn't help it.
Hey, I kinda like that sporty looking firebird in the background! :lol:
I bet i could still put a tire up on it :D Not much higher than the curbs at the mall.
OK! Sorry. Please don't use the bird as rock to wheel your baby Jeep.
:twisted: :D :o
i personally liked the bias ply spare and the sweet front bumper neil and i stood on it thinking it would fall of but it held in there barely
looks good, just a little too small, let the work begin :twisted:
That will all start Sunday night or monday morning. I have to get some stuff ordered first before i can do it all. I will be ordering the stuff maybe tomorrow.
Looks sweet man.. I love that interior.. Wish my Jeep had it. :(

Alice I'll have you know I almost spit my pop out at the computer ... Thanks
Neil first thing first ... the bumpers have to go , spare need to go away and those GAY steps need to disappear !! But other than that Good job !!
Quote from: "NewRide"those GAY steps need to disappear !!
LOL! Same ones that Lee has on his Jeep!
(I'll take them Neil if you get rid of them, I like 'em!)
-Brandon
Ok Brandon you can have them. Just come take them off.
Nice ride for the price
Man what happend to that front bumper, Must have been some hungry rats around it.
Quote from: "Nosilla"Ok Brandon you can have them. Just come take them off.
Deal. Those bolts have got to be rusted on there like hell. :D
Have 6' breaker bar, will travel. :)
-Brandon
well come on over then.
DAAAAAANG Nice rig neil! Looks so purty!
well started on the suspension finally today. Got the rear done and the front torn out. Should have the front close to done tomorrow. Then i need to do the transfercase and body lift.
Jeep will be done tomorrow i think besides 1 shock and the body lift. The shock comes in Monday and the body lift comes in on Tuesday. I am hoping to take it for a street drive on Sunday though.
Congrats man!
See you bright and early today (damnit why am I still up???).
-Brandon

I have a complaint !!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:
Where the F@#$% are our club stickers ? Or any stickers for that matter ??
Wait till I tell the prez !!!
Looks like a Neil Jeep, except for the color.
And when you hang up on one of those steps and rip it clean off the frame, let me know - I have a spare set in the garage.

HEY! Whats wrong with dark purplish/blue?! LOL
The steps are no longer. Brandon came and took them off last night.

You got a spare set? Wanna get rid of them?!?!?! One of the ones I got from Neil has a chunk missing in the front...

well it's about time :!:
They came off SO easily. I brought my 6 foot lead pipe over, and all I ended up using was a ratchet and a socket. They were pretty much loose.
-Brandon
lead pipe ?? lead is pretty soft :P
Not really. That pipe has broken MANY craftsman and snap on wrenches before.

i was giving you a hard time i never know why people call them lead pipes mostly the pipe people are refering to is made out of steel lead is very soft and would bend with no effort
