Just to clarify, I do not have intentions of turning this into juggy/crawler. From the get go I have wanted a capable rig that I could potentially drive everyday. I want something I can drive to the Rubicon and back with out a hitch. While keeping decent mileage and comfort.

If your counting, that makes 4 not running POS.

Honestly I don't have the time/money to do a motor swap. I have no idea where I am going with this. Best solution right now would for me to find a junkyard 2.5L. Other than that, my Dad is considering letting me use his old 2000 Expedition to DD for the time being while he considers buying himself a new DD. At the moment I have 600 bones in the Jeep account I was saving to buy Juniors HP30 at the end of the month.
Scenario 1:
Find junk yard replacement 2.5L. and back to business as usual:
- HP30 Front with 4.56s and an Aussie
- High steer
- Stock 4-link with Currie S/As
- D44 rear with 4.56 and an ARB
- Currie lowers, RK triangulated 4-link uppers.
- Cage
- Stay on 33"s for a while
Scenario 2:
Now if by the grace of god I come into some money, or I keep the Expedition as a DD I would like to see L33/LH6 swap, SM465 if I went stick or 4L60-E if I stay auto.
231-300 doubler, 60/60. 3 link front, 4 link rear with 5" of stretch. Keep a functional tub/top for cross-country drives, and run 35"s.
We will see where it goes.
