No don't you want an eigth of an inch wider in the rear???

 

There is no way it needs to be that toed in. The front need to be an eigth of an inch closer than the rear. Just a slight toe in. That's what my write up says I found

 

axle joint finished. (just now) Next TREs and Ball Joints (these might wait). THen Shackles and bushings and im good to go.Minus my street tires.Rear sway bar is coming off also.

 

I read that slight toe in is ideal....but if you have dw a straight 0 toe in might help.



Also, I think I may have read 2 cm, not 2 inches on my tape. I work in metric 40 hours a week....so its not outside the realm of possibility.

 

yea toe in is good. by 1/8 an inch. so i think 2 cm is right. You should be good might need a real alignment tho if you cant dial it it right

 

I've been trying to meet up with some Columbus Jeepers, but haven't had any luck. I Guess I'm just not looking in the right places.

 

We are around... this forum has cooled down a bit tho. I think most everybody is in some state of repairing their XJs at the moment... or maybe that is just me :-(

 

Yea we are still here. Im still in build/fix mode. The only thing that is holding me back is what i am slowly thinking is a tranny mount being bad, and some nice (non-St-z) tires.Just replaced my cracked radiator. No leaks now!!! Gotta get a tracbar and thats it for me. Maybe go from 3" to 4-4.5". There is a guy i talk to not on the forum off of bethel has a bada** XJ looks real clean. But hes not into offroading. He will but has never been he says. I stop by and chat every once in a while. I still check this daily tho.

P.s Hows it been goin HTT?Everything good on your end?How's the XJ?

 

PS can anyone make stickers, or knows a place to get it done locally? I want the "OH.XJ" to be made but in a diff. look. a special shape.

 

I can make stickers, I have a vinyl cutter but can only make 1 color, its not a printer/cutter. I have been working on my jeep as well, replaced radiator,waterpump,thermastat and all hoses. Today I had new ball joints put in, just need to get an alighnment now.

 

i could use ball joints and TREs. Well if i can find Red "OH." stickers and Grey "XJ" stickers local, im adding it to mine. Rear window top rocker

 

Well I should be getting mine back tomorrow, I had to replace my valve-body. That's not cheep if anyone hasn't already done it. There is a lot of stuff that I would like to do, it's just a matter of getting the money. I'm sure we all know how that feels.

 

I just got rid of my death wobblde last weekend, so I'm nearing a finish line I think.


Does the guy off of bethel have an orange 2dr? I've seen one of them at the dq at carriage place. Also, there's an MJ on fishinger right on the other side of the river that looks nice from the road.


I'm not sure if my xj will be in good shape before fall.....but I'm gonna try.


And welcome....from one irish to another
