1997 Jeep Wrangler - Mayhem To Moab: Part 3

by FAITH DUMONT September 30, 2014

In order to get ready for our annual trip to the Moab Easter Safari we stuffed 37-inch Pit Bull tires under our ’97 Jeep we affectionately call Tube Sock with only a 2-inch suspension lift. The goal is to build a strong yet simple little Jeep perfect for Moab’s red-rock trails. We figured 37’s would be adequate with just a trusty four-cylinder engine and enough gearing, but we really wanted to build this Jeep with as many off-the-shelf parts as we could find so that custom fabrication wouldn’t be required. In the end we did need to do some minor cutting and welding, but the majority of the install was still bolt-on.
