I'm not the best off road driver, but I agree with you if this little girl can do a better job.

spent three years building this with my then 15 year old son, sold it last year, he never liked the off road we switched to Duramax, you name it, it had it; built axles, lockers, custom built transmission, oh yeah and a supercharger

It's tough when your kids don't like the same things you do. At least he actually spent the time with you though.
Wow that's too bad, I would have killed to have my dad help build me something like that. Like Irving said, at least you got to spend time with him.Quote:

I REALLY wanted to keep it for myself but had to much loot stuck in it. You guys are right, some of my most valuable time with my son. Jeeps are a lot more fun and much more affordable than the Duramax.
We did the heavy wrenching but had the pros do the technical stuff, most all of the parts came from CL, I miss the haggling for used parts.
Careful, no shortage of duramax worshipers around here.Quote:

I've always liked ZJ's on 33's, specifically the 10.50 flavor. I'd love to have a 98 W/5.9, I can keep dreaming.Quote:
