Default TJ: AJ's Growing Up!!

Well after two and a half years of abusing the TJ and it taking me places that I never thought possible in a stock 4x4, The time has come for my baby to grow up. I have had all sorts of ideas going round in my head but I eventually settled on waiting a little longer and saving some extra cash to do everything once and do it right. hence the 2.5 years of stock abuse. Below is my list of mods on the way and it will all begin at the end of the month, once troy gets all the gear in to his new shop!! I can't stand the wait, it's driving me crazy!

At the moment, the TJ already has a safari snorkle, warn rocksliders, ARB rear bar/tire carrier and GME 3400 radio.
On the way is:

RE 5.5" LA with tri-angulated rear
Super 30 ARB air locker
Dana 44 ARB air locker
4.88 ratios
HD SYE wit tailshaft
15x8 rims on 35" baja claws
7" warn flares
TBT flexi tie rod
2nd air internal beadlocks


anyway, will keep you all posted as I progress on the build up and I'm sure will be posting all sorts of questions when I run into trouble during the install! Also if you have any suggestions or pointers let us know.

Cheers AJ

Have you looked at cost differences between importing a front 44 with locker and ratios already done instead of upgrading the 30?
