Happy Thanksgiving to all... a day late
I was busy moving/tearing down stuff... it was a beautiful day to get stuff done in the morning and then watch some football later on.
I was able to snag yet another of someone's projects at a reasonable price.
I was asked in a different channel why I would buy something that isn't all CJ.
Well, here were some of the goodies.
I removed the hard top/doors already as well as the interior and right back up on CL it went.
Digging in more, this is a later YJ that is on a CJ frame.
It has a 8.8 rear from a explorer with disc brakes.
It has a Dana 30 up front, but they are stuffed with 4.10 gears.
Frame was all redone/repaired by a certified welder and looks pretty good.
The engine is a 4.0 fuel injected later YJ motor.
The rest is all YJ (tub/rollbar/windshield frame).
Now, inside they kept CJ stuff.
Tilt column
Digital gauges... not sure what they are yet.
It has a funky carbon fiber wrap on it as well... something different.
Also, buried in the pallet of sheet metal and parts was another Superwinch to match what I got last week. Not sure if it works or not.
Finally got it all pushed in and will tear it down in the order that they have arrived.
Oh, the tires... they are brand new, never used older style 33x12.5x15 BFG KM2's... unfortunaly it sat outside, so a few small spots of dry cracking, but they will make great rollers or offroad only tires.
All in all, there is a lot going on here, which is why I jumped on it.
I am not a YJ expert by any stretch, but there is a lot of value here.
Not sure at all on the axles, but anything around here with > 4 in the axle ratio sells pretty quick.
Having rear discs? Even more intriguing.

NOTE: The only really odd thing I found so far is that it has a T4/Dana300 combo behind the 4.0L. Not what I would have expected, but that is what is there. It also came with 3 totes of parts I haven't even opened yet.
