To start some history
I have a 2001 WJ Grand Cherokee which is a daily drive, it has a 2" lift & 30.5" AT Tyres. I took it off road a few times & it was pretty good despite it's size but was scarred to dent it. Also further mods were very expensive & mostly available only in the USA. So I knew I needed a SWB truck pref with a chassis & like the WJ proper axles. I bought my SJ of a mechanic
with full MOT & some tax for £500.
Took it off roading & it amazed me what it can do stock with tyres only slightly chunkier than road tyres.
The slow build
Replaced drivers side door handle getting the old one off was harder than putting the new one on.
Drivers side door knob came off glued it back on as it was shinny.
Removed the carpets
Removed one back seat to make space for tools & the spare.

The next step will be to get mud tyres which I think will make it awsome off road got my eyes on the Insa Special Track.

My only photo's this far are already posted in another section.
I have been quoted £250 for leaf over axel (I can't weld) think I will go for add a leaf as I can do that myself.

Got add a leaf lift will fit it after my hols & will take pics ( of the lift not my hols)

Started to work on the lift
U bolts would not come off so quick visit to a mates workshop to borrow his snap on wrench & he gave me some DP60 which is awesome. Got the U bolts off amazing what you can do with good tools. The center pin would not come out of the leafs so had to give up for the day. Got a grinder & cut the head of the Center pin taped it & it feel out good job I had the G clamp on. Put the add a leaf on job done for that side. Only one side is done & the SJ is on stands in my garden having a 20 month of son does not give me much time for playing with the SJ, at least I know know what I'm doing so the other corners should be quick.

The lift is on will get some pics at some point

Add a leafs & Rough Country shocks

Next is muds & buckets seats.

Plenty of room for some new boots there, looks good

how hard are the add a leafs then, on road?

Better than without feels stiff but a better ride.
