ha ha hey tristin lets write a book, we can call it "XJ crap for dummie's"

it'll talk about eliminating as much factory crap as possible to make it useful

 

I could change the color back in a few short hours.

 

LOL, that's almost what the whole book would be about Cut everything off the rails... then add this... lol

Ok, Just trying to help with visuals. If your anything like me nothing makes sense until you SEE it... so here are some good pics on the same vehicle to compare....

BAD STEERING



GOOD STEERING



See how in the above pic the arches fallow each other pretty closely threw most of the circle (the left half) which is more then your steering will turn anyway. but no steering will be EXACTLY perfect in a full 360. just Nature of the beast, as the body side mounts don't move.

Great read about it with lots of info. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=996353

 

LOL. I try

 

SO Cory! please EXPLAIN the urge to sell. Just curious why? what are the "next" things planned if you do? what would you get?

 

Good for you! finally making that thing 4WD! lol

IDK, I am in no rush really. I want to make a double shear "frame" bracket. and need to get joints... Should I just get steel or order a bracket to make things easy? Any recommendation on which Hiems to get? I want to buy them ONCE. cheaper is good but Quality is better.... Thinking rough stuff hiems.... any input?

 

well to have a bracket made i know a guy who can cut out and make one for cheap, and ruff stuff for heims all the way, i ran cheap summit heims and replaced them 3 times in one yr, running dan's heims and 2 yrs now they are finally starting to wear.

 

What steering is this? What brand? About how much? Can I do this with the stock d30?

 

most likely custom, and yup did it on mine yrs ago


note: this was taken before track bar was moved

 

Good to know because I was debating Ruffstuff or summit...

Well, I want it to be 1/4" and be weld on with the joint center to be 4" off the bottom of the "frame" and be tuff(yes I just walked out and measured lol) its 25$ from ballistic (not saying I am buying from them, just an example. http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/...nt_p_1441.html

I also want to weld a set of these on, to weld the bracket to. and tie it into the body, not just the sheet metal lol

Trying to talk Cory (waterjetguy) to make me some lol

 

But you will have to walk your wheel backspacing for that hiem. stock wheels or little Backspacing may not work with this... just an FYI.... but its a good setup.

 

Well after 3 hours of reading I'm finally cought up on all the BS. You guys sure can talk a lot

 

Awww... Jason left... was excited for the AH HA! moment....

 

HAHA trying to keep it active entertaining and fun! (without shutting it down)

Hows it going? long time since I've seen you on.
