I should be there. I put brake line extension on yesterday and pulled rear sway while at it. Have a tc skid to put on but will come with or without.

huntingman2706217

you use the extensions i posted?

i got my spacers today and my alt bracket and waggy pitman arm today... im welding the spacers on now but in class... i got two frickin sets from two different companies some how so gotta figure out what happened... lol...

mikeoc1

Na, i didnt see it. had these bracket extensions from rustys sitting around for a couple months so finally put it on the rear. Not liking it all that much but will do for now.

coolness... i got the calipers on... front diff filled... which was weird cause it only took 1.5 quarts... the 8.8 took frickin 4! and i had to stick the driver side axle in cause it started coming out the axle tube... lol... also got the alt brackets painted and the alt installed (still gotta wire it and get a voltage regulator)... also welded on the JKS spacers and primed the knuckles... ready for paint when i get some more... then they can all go together... tomorrow i hope... then ill start figuring out the steering... probly hook up the stock stuff again and get it roughly close... gotta get the front end dropped down on tires so i can pull the rear drive shaft without fluid going everywhere... need to stick that flange on... hope the driveshaft length is close enough... lol

Still trying to work out the details. Wife got to work that afternoon so got to find a place for the kids to go in the meantime.

Turn the door **** around... thats what I do

Alright believe I got the plans finalized and good to go. Got a friend going to tag along (riding in my XJ) and invited a friend with a built jeep on tons and 44s I believe. I'm planning to ride until 6pm or so then head on back to get the kids. I'm low on recovery gear since I haven't had the XJ very long.

XJ Stryker

Well I dunno if he will like the trails I am sticking too lol. But hey the more the merrier.

4Kevo

I told him mostly going to be 31"-35" tire XJ but that I would take a break to watch him run some of the hard trails at some point. This will be the first time offroad since I've owned the XJ. Planning on taking it easy and getting a nice feel for her...lol

huntingman2706217

Screw that... My xj's first run im gonna break everything thats gonna break... Fix it stronger then be good from there... It will not be a cheap ride... lol


Not the mj though... Baby trails... Lol

XJ Stryker

Oh yeah we can definitely stop and check out what his rig can do. I am on 30in tires lol. I have no clue what this park has to offer as far as offroading I just know it is the closest place to us that has offroading.

Supposes to be a race there this weekend. So I don't know what will even be open to us.
