Oh, and my story is that parts on this heep like to fail with smoke and (almost) fire. My AC compressor, PS pump and even my wheel bearings all went up in smoke when they failed

Attachment 1165311991 Limited, It has 70,000 miles on it as of today. I inherited it in late 2008, When it had 64,000 miles on it. It's my dog hauler and snowy weather vehicle. So it hasn't been driven that much lately. Some day in the future I'll throw a lift under it, and bigger meats.

Love them all, AGAIN! I love looking at these Jeeps from start to finish, even though I prefer mine stock. It's amazing what one willing owner will do. I have the full story of my Jeep on YT. It was worked hard on, Everyone that I have come across loves it. Hope you all enjoy my story!!

1992 4 door. I6, auto. Some lift, now on 31 inch BFG KM2's. A short story about it, I met a girl online once. The first time we hung out, we went fourwheeling on the river bottom. It was winter so the river was dry. We got stuck in the "dry" river bottom. The jeep just sank to the frame. Front and rear suspension was at full sag. It took a full size Chevy crew cab and a Ford ranger to pull us out. Extra embarrasing. Needless to say, i never saw that girl again. I guess she didn't like that I was more worried about my jeep than her.
