New XJ owner, anyone in the CAFB area?

 

Welcome to the forum. But damn you're way out there. I sometimes go work down there to do some sampling, but besides that Im in Alb. Post some pics of your rig

 

99 Limited, RE 5.5 extreme duty long arm on 33s. Next on the list is steering, new axles/gears, 35 mtrs

 

I have a shroud for 3 a fan setup. I'm in the East Mtns.
$25 for it.
Pm and we can meet in Albuquerque?

So jeep is up and running sort of still have some vibs but I'll drive it till it breaks then swap more stuff that's been laying around the yard. Motor, transmission, axles, t-case, another jeep.
So sye with the 231c wide chain and output, couldnt find a 6 plantery gear with a older tooth cut and didnt know where id find a 21 spline input either, so its with a front xj driveshaft since some jackass decided to put the stand on the longer driveshaft and fd it up. So now off to rebuild the front axle truss it. And maybe some other goodies. And I'll finally be able to finally play with it again.

 

Do you still have those pro comp LCA's you were selling?

 

They were rc fixed one yea they have been gone for a while now. But I did happen to find a set of rc upper adjustable but were pretty damaged. I though you have a lower control arms already.

 

Finally got around to adding the bumper install to my build thread (you can read that to mean I don't want to do any real work at work!)

 

Chris was wanting to know.

What i need is longer shocks, its my main limiting factor now. Anyone have some longer than 23'' extended?

 

Someone in need of control arms? I have a set of brand new in box adjustable upper and lower RC control arms with all the hardware and xflex joints if anyone is interested. Adjustable for 0-6.5" lift. I was looking for $300 shipped for all 4.

 

Get some Bilstien 5100s. I believe mine extend up to 23".

 

Mine are either 23 or 24 extended, looking for something like 26. I was looking at these

I used to be limited by the lca hitting the coil bucket but now its the shocks.

 

So then tell me this your going to destroy your brand new shocks the first time you go out because you bottom the shock out? Have you taken them off and flex it then actually measure your shock mount lenght? Unless you know your collapse length and then driving lenght and how much up travel you want. Your just spending your money on something that's your going to destroy within a week maybe the first day. You can have them hang from them but the first time your bottom out there goes your shock and 170 bucks too. Will they warranty them maybe but your out a week maybe three before you get another shock and that don't say you only don't bottom out two of them.

 

What???

How am I going to bottom them out immediately? The collapsed length is an inch longer than the collapsed length of my current shocks. If im putting money like than into shocks Im going to add bumpstops, and possibly limit straps. At current ride height I have almost 3 inches of exposed shock shaft, im not looking for a whole lot of up travel, more down travel as im only at 3'' and dont plan on going past 4''. 4 link will probably come with taxes and Im thinking about doing the 63" chevy leafs in the back.


When taxes come its either drop a couple grand on the jeep and set it up on 35s or buy a new dd so I can start the chop/dovenose, axle swap, and probable stretch the rear back a lil

 

Looking for some parts for a 1990. Anyone parting anything out. Mostly steering column and drivers seat.
