this is my 92 laredo 4x4.it has a 4.0 and auto tranny with a 242 tcase.has a 3"lift on 31x10.5-15 bfg all terrains on rock crawler 15x8 black steel wheels.
i have put on new fenders and nose(they are blue...matches the doors).the doors were on it when i got it.its got new brakes all around...everything,rotors,drums,pads,shoes,naster cylinder...etc...just need to replace one hardline now and its drivable.i have put a k&n drop in filter in it.

plans are:
header
custom exhaust
33x12.5-15 mud terrains
lockers
super 30 conversion with lockout hub conversion
8.8 or d44 rear axle
4:10 gears...maybe 4:56's
winch bumper with winch
5.5 lift with trim
louvered hood for better cooling
electric fan conversion(dual)
and lots more as things come about...lol

cant wait to see the outcome for the price of the super 30 and lockout hubs you could prolly find a rubicon 44 front or go full width

yeah...i just priced the lockout kit from 4wd hardware...900$....i'll find a early bronco 44 or the ruby 44 or just go full width..be cheaper in the long run and stronger.

yeah super pricey and that on top of the super 30 kit is kinda rediculous if you find a junk rubicon atleast the axle already has a locker and might as well grab the t-case too :)
