Love that shot of the undercarriage

Awesome man... plans for my XJ early on this year will be the 4wd tranny and tc, then get my lift on and buy a new set of tires... then hopefully I can snag an axial wraith or something.

My neighbor is doing that to his mj. It's currently 2wd. But he has a hp30/soa D44 both with 4.88's and chromoly shafts. Front is open rear has a detroit. A 4wd tranny and tcase with sye, 5.5" coils , 1" lift shackles , crossmember , he's saving for a double shear trackbar and steering. He also has some jk rubi wheels and 37's for it.

Painted the truggy bed added 4" springs to replace the 3" springs. I was running on 4" shocks. The weight of the cage on soft springs lowered the front so there was no uptravel. The 4" springs gave me the ride height I was at and more uptravel the rear of the truggy is lighter so the 4" springs raised the rear so I just used a different shock mount to lower the rear to where the ride height was with 3" shocks and angled them forward so they actually flex better.

lol - dude, I looked at that first pic and didn't even realize it was an RC until I saw the next one. You did a really good job on scaling that thing. I know I've told ya that before, but I just can't get over it.

That yeti's pretty sweet - was that an rtr?
