Or just go the easy route and drill out some six lug rims. Also, you can make a lift kit for under 20 bucks, depending on the price of steel. I would also recommend a weber carburetor. Its way easier than a EJ swap.

And lots of lights!

 

What color is it? Do you have any pictures? Dual range or single range 4x4?

This design is really basic but it works very well. Its what i have on my 85 gl ea82.

a drawing of the front lift is about 3/4 of the way down the page.

The rear lift is just 2, 1 1/2" thick pieces of 2"x2" steel tubing.

 

Just out of curiosity, what lift are you going to get? SJR?

You want a 32/36 DGV Weber carb. Also, if you're lookin for a lift, stop by my place sometime if you're ever down in the Yakima Valley...

ok then, the 2" isn't the way to go. my wagon would get washed away in 4 feet of water. But then so would one on a six inch lift. Heck, so would a jeep.

 

it only get that deep in early spring when all the snow run off is coming down. otherwise it only comes up to the knees
