This is my dads baby weve been working on for the past 5 or 6 months,
its a fully custom TJ, with a CJ-7 front clip, its wheelbase was extended about 7 inches or so, it has a crate 350 pushing 330 horse, 5.13 gears in the back with spool. 700r4, b&M shifter, tons and tons of hours went into fab work to to do the lengthening and the shackle reversal, shock mounts and countless oother touches,

here she is,

its going to wheeled hard core lol, its going to Moab next year, but next to go on it is the exo cage and the big ass waren winch, plus those baby tires are getting replaced by a nice ol set of 40's...

and those are far from stock diffs,pretty sure its a 44 up front, not sure about rear.

and as for the colour combo, were thinking Bright orange body, and metalic purple exo cage, just two colours that really pop,
that way at least when it rolls over it'l look good doing it,

ill post more pics as we go along.

That is a D44 up front, and the rear is a 9" Ford

Also that's a YJ not a TJ

Both of those diffs are going to eat themselves alive with 40's if you wheel it. Better stick with 35's...or upgrade to better diffs.

lol sorry boys, the brain dosnt function to well at 1 am,

the diffs are far from stock, but we were thinking that too with the tires. were prolly just going to stick with the 35's till at least end of summer, see how she wheels first.

60's will handle 40's in a jeep

Those diffs are more than enough for 35's. There's guys running 35's on locked D44A's, 8.25's and D30's in heavier Cherokees without issue. You'd get away those diffs and 40's in a shelled YJ with better shafts
