I believe he has the 3 link set up, iv read it has better articulation and is a better design but have no experience besides what iv read.

 

Not exactly with a radius arm. It is technically a 3 link, but not as effective as a properly built 3 link, which is not radius armed.

 

It is a properly built 3 link. It's from a company. Just can't find name brand yet.

 

Rock krawler?

 

A picture would help

 

Yup. Upgrade the main wires for sure just to be safe

 

This is the jeep.



This is the passenger single arm. (Is this upside down?)



This is the driver side lower (looks upside down) and upper arm.



This is the mount of the the arm brackets bottom view.

This is the back of front diff view.

 

Yep identical to my rock krawler 3 link I have on my jeep

 

Is the brand name rock krawler? How's does it do?

 

yeah it's the brand name.

It performed flawlessly when I wheeled it couple weekends ago. It surprised me. No complaints with it at all

 

Hey All, my first Jeep owned for 1 week now. '92 XJ w/ AW4 Trans. After new shoes on it I took the steep twisty gravel road home. Coming down in "3", and Full 4 Hi, I let it run a little on the last straight stretch. (Gravity, no throttle.) It downshifted!


I honestly can't remember when I tapped the brakes in that sequence.


Question is, is this an AW4 feature, and/or is it related to the Lock-Up TC? (Confirmed I have it with Chrysler Build Report.)


Thanks, and I have learned a ton of stuff here this last week already. (Mostly that you can always stand one more upgrade...)

Awesome. Thanx a million for the help y'all. Especially XJwonders.

 

Shouldn't downshift until it gets below a certain speed.... but if you're going down a grade, I couldn't imagine it getting slow enough to shift down. Only thing I can think of (which I have a problem with on my '92 as well) is that your linkage for the shifter to the trans is a little wore, so when you're in 3, it's really close to the 1-2 position on the trans even though it shows 3 in the jeep.... so you may have thought you shifted into 3, but you were really in 1-2... in which case, the TCM won't allow the transmission to shift into that low of a gear until you're below a certain RPM and ground speed.

 

Is this upside down though?

 

I was definitely not decelerating. I was picking up speed on no throttle under engine compression. I think I'll have to try that bit of road again and pay more attention to everything. thanks.


I get why Jeep folks are passionate, this XJ is a blast!
