Another one.. 98 TJ

piginajeep

The Original Smartass
When I first met my wife 18ish years ago. We both had 98 TJ 5 speed 4 bangers. Hers was white and mine was black. It’s how we met literally.., that’s another story. Funny, that’s how I first met/heard about Eddie on 4x4explorer in 2004-2005 ish…, Well se sold them prior to moving west and we always wanted another one.

We just picked another one up! I think this is jeep number 28, maybe 29… anyways it’s a 98 TJ 4.0 this time!!

the good! It was a steal, but the motor is blown. First up a fresh rebuild and then lll get into making it pretty. My goal is to return it all the way back to stock. It’s close now.. but dirty.
I know I’m not active on here, I’m busy building my collection and working to pay for it..

Damn well if that ain't love at first sight I don't know what is...

Lol, I'll never get rid of my 97' that's been in the family since it was new, love seeing TJ builds. Looks like a very manageable project! Looking forward to it!

Looks like a fun project... All of your jeeps look like fun projects though, I can see why you've had 30 of them
