1999 Sport Mud Truck
Here's my xj. Got it for 1000$ with 117k, auto transmission, everything running fine. I would have liked to not have the power windows, but this was the best deal I'd found in months.

I'll be trailering it everywhere as it will not be insured. It has the Chrysler 8.25 and HP Dana 30 up front... assuming that all 99s had the HP |
good deal on that jeep... :thumbup:
|
Finished my bastard pack. I used, in this order, xj main leaf, xj 2nd leaf, s10 2nd, s10 3rd, s10 overload, and netted me 5" of lift over what I had, assuming I had .5-1" in sag, I probably got around 4.5". Exactly what I wanted

Update
Flareless
Cut rear and fiberglassed the gap Started cutting front (need to buy more cutting wheels) Installed enough of my lift to get it sitting on the tires, still need to figure out sway bars I broke all 4 rear shock bolts :head: Also broke the track bar bolt (axle side)... So I guess I'll have to drill that out... idk looks like a pita TC drop waiting to be installed Oh and I need bar pin eliminators Got about 5" front and back (bastard pack and rustys front) http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/n...1/PICT0120.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/n...1/PICT0119.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/n...1/PICT0121.jpg |

You'll want to upgrade those axles a little bit if you plan on running those big tires through the mud.

xjmonkey posted about making bar pin eliminators free using the rear sway bar axle mount brackets and link insert.

Are you saying people generally have trouble running 35s on a 29 spline 8.25? Especially only in mud it should hold up fine

Axle upgrades I was talking about were thing like gears and beefing up your steering to turn without breaking things also front ujoints to avoid snapping them.
Update Just ordered 93 2wd c1500 front brake lines and 96 dakota rear soft line off rockauto, came out to about 44$ shipped for everything |
