Agreed. I spent nearly nine grand on my Dynatracs, fully loaded, far
more than the 7500 I put into the used YJ. I'm not looking at what I
spent, I look at what I'm saving. Had I bought a new TJ for 20k, I'd
still want to upgrade it with beefy axles, higher clearance, and bigger
meats. We'd be talking another 12.5k, and this is a vehicle I am going
to put through the wringer.

Try purchasing a relatively late model full size jeep and pulling the axles
off that. You will probably have to re-gear them and change the spring pads
around (Front is spring under, rear is spring under), but you'll save a
bundle, even if you junk the rest of the vehicle.

Have to agree with this. I might add though to have a professional welder
relocate the spring pads...
