Hey all . Jeep owner with a new project , 1996 reg cab , 4x4 short box , 5.2 with a 5 speed manual . It's a beater but has alot into it , new ball joints , side axle u-joints , complete steering TRE's to go on BN , 4 new tires , 2000 QW steering box , I've installed 95 pwr buckets and console plus a new headliner (all bough cheap used in mint shape $50 4 both) . It' s not been on the road since the build began . Most of the parts were installed by the PO and everything listed has a couple hundred miles on it maybe . So far , I'm sitting on a $1400 investment including all the parts I bought , purrs like a kitten .

Body is OK , a few rust spots here and there , worst is the flaky paint . I'm gonna sand it down and prime it in my garage and take it to my buddies garage where there's a paint booth waiting for me .

I have a good knowledge of the Magnum engines , hopefully I can contribute to the firum . As well , get some questions answered "when" the time arises .

Cheers,

Newfie

Just another Newfie in AB here , 12 yrs and counting . Bought the Dodge cause I need to have something for work . Tough to haul scaffold in a Jeep or BMW , lol . The 4x4 works great , I already got some rash on the rocker trying to climb too steep an incline . I have a good feeling this truck is gonna take a bashing when I get it out to the Alberta Safari Course , lol .
