Incredible journey for a new build!

I was bored with the current jeep and have not really been able to do any heavy fabrication in a while so I have decided to start something new. I will be traveling next weekend to Nashville, TN. to drop off the wrangler to a new owner coming from texas. From there I will be headed to Charlotte NC. (on I-40 which may still be closed due to a rock slide) to pick up a jeep from a fella with a salvage title in need of repair. I will then head home to finish a 24 hour drive over 1 short weekend.

The jeep is a 2006 unlimited rubicon 6 speed that is hit on the passengers side ever so slightly!

Plans are to fix it, wheel it, and decide weather to keep the dana 44's or go to 60's. I would like to run either 37's or 39's and plan to make this very streetable. I have an automatic to go in the jeep if desired and 2 dana 60's out of a 2004 doge ram power wagon with factory selectable lockers. Not sure if the dana 44's are up to the task with what I have in mind even built with chromoly shafting so I have an option.

I (she) will post up pics of the build from body repairs to suspension upgrades. Any GOOD input would be appreciated. (except from George) Please be patient as this will be on and off the trails for probably 2 years while going through changes and my progress building will be slow but not as slow as some on here! Haa Haaa

Keep in mind also that this rig may be sold before completed as I may change my mind soon and often.

Pics to come.

Thanks, Scott
