Looks like a good kit.

I'm referring to a "Speed hump" not a "Speed bump." I'm not sure if you have them in your area, but they are a high, stretched out speed bump. About 8 feet in length, 9-12 inches high, and curb to curb. Feels like you hit a curb head on at 30. Honestly a horrible decision by city officials. They are marked for 15mph but hitting them at 5mph hurts. The one I hit was on either an old road, or a new road which had no paint and no signs the entire length. Could have easily sued the city for the damages to my vehicle, but I'm not that type of guy. If you dn't already have them in your area, pray they don't arrive.

 

Aaahh they sound scary! i hope they dont show up because i dont think that my hornet will make it very long with those things!!

These are the tires that i want to get:

not sure on wheels yet

 

Those look pretty nice but I've heard some pretty nasty things about retreads in the past. Do your research before you buy. I would also recommend watching local used tire shops and craigslist frequently. You can find some good deals cheap, you just have to check the right place at the right time.

 

Do you have a picture of said Hornet? They were pretty neat cars.

 

I had a set on the back of my 76 dodge 3/4ton that i used to have and they never gave me a problem, and my brother in law used them for the from of his 76 3/4ton and had a half and hour drive on the interstate and never had a problem, same tire just different size. And believe me ive been gettin on craigslist every day looking for cheap tires. their was a set that i wanted but by the time i got back on to get the phone number they were gone..

 

This is when i raced it in april. Ive had this car sense i was 13.

 

Heres a better picture.

 

Cool car and a great color for it. What have you done to it?

 

Thanks, its actually the original color. In person its really faded. Havnt done alot with it really. We put a 2 barral intake on it and were getting a disk brake setup tomorrow. Its a 232 straight six and runs 12s in the 1/8th and that was spinning from the start. Hopefully before the end of the year it will have a 4.0 in it, just depends on if the jeep needs it first. When everything is said and done it will be a dark blood red with a 4.6 stroker motor with a turbo!

 

I know it's factory paint, that's what makes it so cool. Aughta be a pretty nasty ride when it's all finished.

 

save you $$ and buy quality!

 

A friend of mine has been building XJ rock crawlers for twenty years. He recommended Zone kits to me just last night. They don't have the "no fine print" warranty of BDS but their components are build by the same company and are every bit as good a product...at less than half the money.

He recommended Zone's 3" AAL kit. For $290 including shocks it's the best deal out there for quality goods.

Let me add that I know NOTHING about any of these companies and NOTHING about lifts but I know the guy giving me advice.

 

Is thier anything i need to look out for while lifting the jeep? Was reading someone said drop the transfer case? what does it mean by that? Also i wont have to get different drive shaft or anything like that?

 

for what you would be doing with it rc will be just fine. id get a track bar too. make sure to get one with a heim joint at the end like the rubicon express one.

 

Does it have to be adjustable? And why does it need the heim joints?
