I just bought a 97 regular cab 4x4. It is being shipped as we speak. I just sold my 09 Jeep Rubicon that I got tired of making the big payments. Man I am impressed how cheap parts are for these trucks.

Nice, Love my single cab..

Since its 2.7 check the exhaust manifold ASAP and make sure its not cracked in half.
Its a common problems on these motors and can lead to worse problems down the road.

I think the single cab is a great base to build off of.
Thats why this is where im at :D

Thanks for the heads up. I am being told no issues with the truck. It only has 78k on it. The truck should arrive here on Wednesday or Thursday. What is the actual size of your 33's?

I picked up the truck Thursday. I ordered wheels and tires Saturday. I am going with Mickey Thompson Classic II's with BFG AT KO's in 33X10.5R15. Hopefully they will arrive in time so they can be installed this weekend.

I spent today removing the hard water spots from the windows. It took 0000 steel wool and polish to get the spots off. The window tinter I use, says it had the worst hard water spots he had ever seen. It will be getting the windows tinted Wed or Thursday.
