Kenn here - Live in RAK - work for a company that builds armored cars. Most of the time Im over in Iraq working with security companies (like right now) but back home in the UAE my project car is a 92 Jeep Wrangler YJ.
Started out with a used stock version of a GCC spec Wrangler YJ i found in Murdif - So far its been pretty moderate on the modifications but when I get back home and have some time off plan to change that.

Welcome Kenn!
I ran a 1993 YJ and when well-tuned it flies up dunes 8)

Well so far all I have done is raised it 4 inches (had to re do the yoke/transfercase to support that height change) added a MSD electric system, some new wheels/tires, headers to straight pipe then a cherry bomb muffler (which Im not really happy with). all that is left is get the engine a little more HP and redo the rear end with something mean. (and install the fenders I bough months ago and put the bikini top on and find a set of 1/2 doors)

Welcome Ken. A man after my own heart. Would love to see the rig up close. I currently have my own ZJ project going on. Check my build thread below and let mw know what you think. As all jeep projects, it will probably never end and see me pitless before I even dare consider thinking about selling it!
