Yes, I built one and ran it for a few years in my Xj until I parted it and that engine now resides in a YJ turning 38" swampers.

Still got to put the 1 ton steering back on and retighten everything, then order the custom driveshaft. But it's been a long time coming. Parts and tires sitting for two years. She is finally sitting one 35inch Baja claws and 9.5" of lift. Gunna be the baddest beach rig on Matagorda island.

Nope its still in there. Low on power and leaking oil like crazy. I will take the truck to lowes and to the gas station around town ever once in a while but thats about it. I have a wedding coming up so all money has been going to that. But after the wedding Ill be saving up for the engine.

still waiting on the replacement tie rod end from Serious offroad. Finally shipped yesterday. Hopefully next weekend I will have the time to put the steering on, tighten everything up and take her for a spin around the block to get a alignment. Does anybody know if they adjust your track bar also when getting a alignment?
