I was surprised myself. Didn't buy it with the intention of modifying it, but it does too good for me to just leave it on the street.

Actual body on frame design (no unibody like XJ's and ZJ/WJ's), limited slip rear through 2006, part time transfer case lock, and mine happens to be a 5 speed manual. Added a 2" spring spacer and some 31" tires (recently replaced with 31" General Grabber AT2's as of last Sunday). This thing takes me everywhere I point it, even hauling a trailer converted from a pickup bed. I'll put myself up against any vehicle equipped with 31" tires.

I use Big O AT XT tire because first they're cheap and they come with free warranty, I have replaced at least 3 tires under the warranty no question asked, even when I bring it to them like this :

a branch thru the side wall... I also got a lots of cactus needles puncturing the side wall. those cactus are really hard....

Engine: 5.2L V8
Axles: D30 front, D44A rear
T-case: NP231
Lift: 3" lift springs
Shoes: 33/12.5R15 BFG AT with pro comp steelies

35x12.5x17 falken AT's 4.88 gears, LSD in the rear ~6" of lift, etc

Don't wheel it much anymore, other then to get out to a deserted spot in the desert to expell some lead.

At it's peak

Sorry for all the pics, I just miss having this much fun in it. But it's also my daily driver so it needs to last me till I trade it in/sell it for something else.
 
I love my 90, but if I need something done to it and I can't do it myself, it is hard to get work done on it correctly and reliably. As far as I know there are only 3 in Las Vegas, and I think there may be 1 or 2 imported 110's.

NOT as great as you all have, and she gets stuck once in a while, but she's holding up good

Man, you need to take that Ranger out of retirement and get out there!

I know! It's paid for. I've thought about just keeping it when I buy my next truck, and then putting a solid axle under the front and chopping the fenders for some good clearance for flexing it out.

me?

At the time, I didn't have OBA (onboard air) and nobody else in our group did either. I was about 45 min outside of reno and didn't want to drive all the way back on 15lbs lol

aired down enough to where it was still driveable on the street. And I got through everything I tried!

Thanks. I hated the factory soft top because it makes the jeep look like the Flintmobile, plus not only can I take the windows out and be left with a safari top, the windows store in a zippered bag in the roof
