Gary's 1988 YJ Wrangler

Gary's 1988 YJ Wrangler

"I first installed a BDS 4" suspension lift and 33" boggers, after only a few short months I realized I wanted something a little more capable. I then proceded to strip it down and installed a ford 8.8 rear end with a detriot and precision 4.88 gears. For the front I kept the stock reverse rotation Dana 30 but installed a OX locker and Superior 4.88 gears ( soon to come will be a warn hub conversion kit and solid axles) I then also decided to go with more lift and did a spring over. To provide more flex from the suspenison I installed revolver shackles on all four corners and also removed one spring from each corner. With the added height I installed a Tom Woods slip yoke eliminator and got custom drive shafts front and rear. Ranch RS 9000 shocks dampen the suspension while a warn 8000 pound winch resides in the front.

I think the jeep is very capable and most people are surprised when they find out that I'm only 15 and that all the work was done by me (except with the gearing which was accomplished with the help of a friend) "
