Since I've mentioned my jeep as well as friends' toys I figured I'd make a thread for em finally.
We'll start off with my pile. 01 Silver Jeep Cherokee (XJ). 4.5 in lift (for now) with 35x12.5 Maxxis buckshots, it's locked in the rear and open front. At this point I've replaced everything from the transfercase out and have learned a ton about it in the process, great for use on the rest of the rigs.
Up next: Owen's 2000 Zr2 S10. He got the pos. 4 years ago with 200k, has put 40k on it as his daily since. By far where most of my time had been spent working on a vehicle. Bone stock truck (on 31s) thats going through almost anything we do and doesn't break when it does. We cut the door pins 3 months ago after an outing where the cab sunk enough that the latches wouldn't work, recently fixed. Currently planning a solid axle swap with one of my old axles and other spare parts.
That's Rex, Wesley's 01? Ranger. It's more Jeep than Ranger with 4.0 and 5speed out of an XJ. Set up with radius arm long travel up front and chevy leafs in the rear on jeep axles. Currently welded front and rear after we grenaded the front differential 2 months into him owning it. Makes 35s look small.
Finally (for now hehe) is Jake's '68 CJ5. It was previously his cousin's and made it to him after it was left to die in their grandparents barn. It's got about 6 in of lift and is now on 33x12.5s, somewhere along the line someone swapped in a 231ci buick v6 and 4speed manual to replace the 225 buick. Really the first old vehicle I've gotten to dig into. It's been rewired (let the magic smoke out) as well as a clutch, new front axle with disk brakes and some other small stuff since then.
That's all for now, will get to Jimmy's monster of a YJ at a later date.
