Project: bordom patrol

i think 33's would be to much of the motor unless i regear it to like 5:88 and i have only found 5:38's for it so far.

this one is sweet. has a 4" lift and 31's...

Don't like it too much or you will start having trouble with the CV shafts since its IFS.

But, I do have a d44 front and amc20 rear from a wagoneer I'm trying to get out of my yard.

Imagine those on that thing!

What about a divorced transfer case budke? Got one of those?

Nope.
Just the axles.

Got a front drive shaft from my old jeep liberty though with a bad CV joint, and the tie rod from the YJ.



I may be a pack rat for jeep parts......

is the front axle a pass drop?

drivers, centered rear.
a d300 and clocking ring will take care of that. lol

yeah but i want to keep the stock case.

alright, if you change your mind, let me know.

ok will do

ok we have two sportages now. both 4x4 on auto one stick... the new one a 1995 is just the same as the 2000 just its automatic. i have started tearing the interior out to bedline it and make it a little lighter. here it is

i guess you like them so much you had to get another?

yeah thats it...these things are great

just converted the abs system to std brakes on my 95. swapping out rear axles to go from 26 spline to 28 spline and bigger rear brakes.

went out and played a little today...not bad. did really good. took it to jennings and did everything that the other kia did but just a bit better.

now it needs some lift

yeah i gotta build one...mud wanna help????/!!!!

So what's gunna be your trail rig now? I just saw on craigslist you have both kia's for sale

i am keeping mine now. missy's sold. we needed to sell something so we had all the vehilces listed...hers went first now she is getting a more family friendly minivan or a wagon. my kia is staying and the burban is going too.

the work starts very soon on the frame swap, got the donner frame stripped now just need to get it in garage and start building...

Updates on frame swap?

not done yet but i do have a straight axle for front, a lift and a few other things. we are going to be moving soon...to dang far out... so the build will take place after we buy another house...next few weeks...

ok new frame is in garage and work has started....here is the parts....

the gas tank has been removed. and all the ifs stuff is going away. the rear is staying 3 link the front will be 4 link and maybe coilover...depend on how the tj springs work in the front.

Atleast it has a boxed frame. What are the axles from?
