Wow that's definitely a sleeper you've got there!

It's definitely been a fun build so far, and a good learning experience. I bought it from my sister for right at $500, so I didn't mind dropping a little money on mods. I'll tell you, once they get around 180k miles everything starts falling off.  At the first of the year I plan to start the SAS with my JK d44, 12" Fox c/o's, Clayton TJ RE style radius arms, and 4 link rear. I just need  to gather a few more parts. For now, I enjoy wheeling something you don't usually see out on the trails. While not as capable as the bigger rigs, I can hang with them by putting my skids to work.

Yea, I watched the build videos the other day and came across a build thread on one of the KJ forums. They definitely transformed it into a beast of a rig, and spent a boatload of money(well someone did). It seemed they went a little skimpy on the axles considering they were running 40 ' s on it. I always enjoy seeing rigs that aren't typically turned into crawlers get built all out like that. Hell, even a Prius with the same mods would be pretty sick. I'd have to say, a KJ wouldn't be at the top of my list when building to go on the UA
