This is my 1984 jeep cj7 that ive had for 6 years. I got it when i was 17, it started out as a completely stock jeep with a 4cyl and a 4 speed, I then found a wrecked cj7 with a inline 6 for $500 bucks, swaped over the motor and trans wich was a T-5 5 speed, and on my 18th birthday I used my B-day money for 4:10 gears and a front detroit locker, soon after followed a 4 inch pro comp lift and 33 inch bfg mudders. Then about 40,000 miles later the inline 6 started to get weak and started blowing oil thru the air cleaner. So it was either rebuild it or swap it . Luckily I came across a 98 vortec v6 from a S10 with 20,000 miles that had been totaled but the motor was still good! I got the motor with everything (computer and wiring harness) for only $400 dollars! I got all my adapters from advanced adapters and a custom wiring harness from centech. the swap took me about a year to do going to school and all, and while it was under construction i sold the Pro comp lift and got YJ Currie 4 inch springs with 2 add a leafs that gave it 6 inches of lift and added a one inch body lift from Daystar, Teraflex front shackles and Fox shox with resivoirs. I then sold my Axles with the 4:10's and front detroit to a friend for his jeep, and built up a new set with 4:88's and front and rear detroit locker. The front end is a dana 30 and the rear is a custom big tube model 20 with a truss and 1 piece axles, i put on 37-12.50-15 Good year MTRs on 15x10 eagle alloys.
I got my rear dana 60 in finally with rear disc brakes, installed a traction bar got the front half of my cage done, wired up my a/c compressor for on board air.
Just recently shortend and built my front chevy kingpin dana 60
