Hello everyone, Been on the forums a few weeks now, thought I would introduce myself. I used to own an 04 wrangler sport, but as luck would have it I rolled it. So now Iv'e got an 04 LJ. I really liked my TJ but am quickly falling in love with my LJ. Here are some pics. The wrecked TJ   And the new LJ  Now |

The insurance company said it was a total loss, so I bought the salvage on it and sold it to a buddy.

That sticker on the crumpled TJ hood is classic.

Nice Jeep. Welcome to the boards.
I see you got the bumpers and wheels from the old Jeep. Another good move.

Yep,
We pretty much stripped the tj , stored everything in the garage for about a month till we could find the lj.
Then in one weekend put everything on the lj.....lift, tires, bumpers, winch,cb,and lights. Even swaped out the rearend.
I run a ford 8.8 in the rear.....sold the Dana 44 for $1100.00
I know the 44s are pretty strong, but already had the 8.8 built up with the locker and all, so all I had to do was regear the front to 4.11, and put in the locker.
This weekend I'll be putting a Tera low 4 to 1 conversion in the t-case.
I know it sounds like a lot of money......but it's just to easy to sign your name and walk away (credit cards suck )
I don't do all this work by myself......we have an offroad club and we all help each other out.
