The 86 has a 92 YJ tub,it's Millennium yellow,2 1/2 inch springs,1/2 inch body lift,home made rear bumper,(matching front bumper coming soon),stainless steel dash,258 with 4.0 high port head,GM HEI,Gibson header,port matched intake,with Weber 32-36(I have a Clifford intake,with Holley 390 that I'll be installing soon) electric fan,rear narrow track Dana 44,with 3.73,and a powr-loc unit,front narrow track Dana 44 with 3.73,and a Trak-loc unit,tie rod flip,15x10 Weld wheels,33x12.50x15 mud tires.T-176 tranny,Dana 300 with twin sticks,rod ends clutch linkage,and a lot more stuff I can't think of .

The 79 has a 4 wheel drive hardware fiberglass tub,and one piece front-end,Advance frame works hot dipped galvanized frame,2 1/2 inch Skyjacker springs,1 inch body,Eagle 589's 16x8,with 285/75/16 B.F.Goodrich muds,4.3 Chevy Vortec,Edelbrock intake,Holley 470 truck avenger,268 Comp cam,Z-28 valve springs and oil pump,speed pro flat top pistons,single moly rings,3 angle valve job,custom built aluminum gas tank,rear Dana 44 with 4.09,trak-loc,front Dana 30 with Detroit tru track and 4.10,full size waggy calipers,Mopar aluminium master cylinder,Steward components lock resistant brake system(in place of the proportion valve),Edelbrock IAS shocks,Turbo 400 mild shift kit,10 inch converter,Dana 20,and a lot of other stuff.

The 258 has been sold,(the intake and carb are going on my CJ-7,)Nick(my son) is filling in all the holes on the frame(not rust holes,but the holes punched in it from the factory) it probably will have a 360,but the 401 may go in it,(depending on time and money)a 999 tranny is going in,the rears are getting 4.30 gears,and I forgot what size tires he's going back with,wheels will be 12 inches wide.

I also have a another 83 CJ-8 for me, in the pipe line,it will be sort of a pro street/sand drager,with a 517 CID Caddy engine,turbo 400,dana 20,dana 60,dana 44.

Here's a few updated pictures.

Nick put the 401 in his CJ-8,we don't know if it has too much power for the 999,or the guy didn't build it rite,but it fried the 999 in less than 300 miles.

Check with grantshire, I'm not sure if he's on this web site,but if not he's on the Full Size Jeep website,he has a few Rhino grilles.

I'd get rid of the 999... especially behind the 401. The 999's definitely aren't going to last very long... UNLESS you're driving miss Daisey...
I am getting ready to rebuild a 999 for a guy and just looking/reading about it... I wouldn't run one... (They definitely don't meet my heavy foot expectations)...
Why not try to snag a TH400 or a 727?...
Look at this SCREAMING DEAL
