Hey everyone,

I’m Chris also known as fuzzy59 and I figured it was about time to finally get some pictures together of what my jeep looks like and what I’ve done to it. I’ve had a ton of fun with my jeep over the years and I don’t plan on stopping that anytime soon. I bought my jeep about 4 years ago when I was back in college and it’s treated me well ever since. I’ve done a bit of wheeling over the years and I’ll try to post some pictures up for you guys and gals as I find them.

Here’s a run-down list of what it currently has on it:

1998 5.9L GJC
Loaded with all the bells and whistles

3” Skyjacker lift
Front upper Rubicon Express adj ca’s
Front lower Skyjacker fixed arms
OME shocks all the way around
265/75/16 BFG M/T’s and a 265/75/16 BFG A/T spare
Twin City Turbo Dual Intake

ARB Bull Bar with Warn winch and 6” Super Rally’s
TrailReady Rear Bumper with tire swing and custom receiver hitch
KOR Rock Rails
KOR Roof Rack with Hella 500’s

Cobra 29 WX NW ST with a Firestik Antenna II and Cobra HG-S500 PA
48" Hi-Lift All Purpose Mechanical Jack
Axe
Shovel
Gas can
An assortment of tools and a bunch of other goodies that I'm sure I forgot. As I get new stuff or if I forgot some things I’ll be sure to post them up as well.

And here's picture of the jeep all purdy up

And a picture of the behind

And here is my jeep next to my DD on 225's:

Well I got a lot of big plans here in the very near future, I’ll be posting up as much as I can so that anyone can follow my build. Feel free to comment as much as you want and I hope you enjoy my jeep as much as I have.

Chris

Thanks, this was one of the reasons that pushed me over the edge to buy it back in the day.

Went yesterday with Maxx and our buddy Pat to pick up some new wheels for the jeep, just washed them now waiting for them to dry for the camera. I'll keep you guys posted [smilie=bal_cool.gif]

As promised I got the wheels cleaned up a bit, pretty excited about them. Got 4 15x10 3.75 backspacing TrailReady beadlock wheels. They look awesome and I'm thinking they are in dire need of some new rubbers ;)

Was planning on it but I had a small family crisis :-| You coming dirtbiking today broski?
 
Your "she" has a thicker goatee than I do HAHA. I have to be honest, you took so long to make a build thread because you wanted the perfect name and you came up with fuzzy? It sounds like they are building a top secret muppet baby or something HAHAHA. I had to man, sorry haha. Anyways, what are the plans for her? I love those wheels man! I know a few things you are doing but I think you should enlighten everyone else on here as well ;) . I wish I had a 5.9...ive considered trading mine for a stock one haha...damn 5.9's making me all crazy in the head...

Haha, she and I compete with the beards ;) As for the taking so long, I reformatted my computer that had all my pictures on it so I had to go through and pick up pictures from all my friends, brothers, and other computers. Like I said, I'm getting everything together so build and wheeling pictures are on the works of getting posted.

As for the plans for the 5.9, I'm moving from my current set up to a hp30 locked and geared, an 8.8 locked and geared, 7" Clayton LA lift, 37" bias Iroks on TR beadlocks, TW drive shafts, AA sye with a 231, new custom rock sliders, new exhaust which I haven't completely sold myself on yet, few more lights and a serious upgrade on the tunes. :mrgreen: I've already bought most of this so all of it should be in the jeep here soon. Lemme know what you think!
 
The dana 30 has chromo's right? Maxx's old gear? Sounds like a plan, when does all of it start? Maxx doing the Clayton's welding?

Hey Chris. By chance do you have a Dana 44a that might be available soon? I'd even come and get it.

Yup, the 30 and the 8.8 are both cromo'd. Maxx is helping to do the clayton lift since I figure he has most experience on it. Haha jeeperoni, I got the stock 5.9 wheels on 265's that I'll be getting rid of if you'd like them ;) As for you Warhorse, yes I'll hopefully be selling all my stock and aftermarket axles, suspension, etc that I'm ripping off my 5.9 to help make up the cost of what I'm trying to do [smilie=bal_cool.gif]

What gears do your stock axles have? Ideally, I'd like to get 4.10s but since I have the 4 liter and 3.55s, anything would be an improvement!
