True. I need to do some more research before I pull the trigger. That's for sure.

 

Do you plan to ever wheel hard?
If so then 1 ton stuff
And go for an IRO bar. Beef.

If not then the Rubicon bar with the hiem and replace the hiem with a ruffstuff one and a ZJ tie rod

 

Yea research is the key to a quality rig. I've been reading up on xj mods for like a year even before I owned one. Lol.

 

I wheeled a mainly stock XJ at my buddies a few times and it worked out pretty well will I do that again? NO.

 

I've ton alot of research over the years. Steering upgrades just weren't important in the past but this jeep is different. I really would love to have the one ton stuff.

How is the jcr stuff? And do I need to ream for both otk and utk or is one of them just bolt up and go?

 

I'm not sure on that one I think you mig ht have to ream in either way but utk might be better in my opinion cuase you reaming the already tapered stuff in stead od going against it. Isk that just my opinion maybe I'm wrong

 

Serious 1-ton steering for the win....that's just my opinion though.

 

Whats the install like on that system?

Any opinions on the jcr stuff?

I remember reading alot of stuff that said the rustys stuff was no good.. But I guess that's just forum mumbo jumbo

 

heres a link for the IRO track bar

Hey man, I'm lovin this build, just read through the whole thing when you plasti-dipped the jeep badging, what did you use to cover the insides of the letters so you didn't paint the hood in between? I'm planning on doing the same thing, and any tips would help, thanks!

 

Here is the cool part about dip... You use NOTHING to tape in the letters. And you leave your tape roughly an inch away from the badge. You want to have over spray. After it's dry you simply peel the over spray and it separates itself. Use a tooth pick or small pick to peel in the letters! Any other questions feel free.

Thanks for reading my build

 

L&l bumper paid for! Wish u could have it NOW lol

 

I think I am going to go with this after all. Thanks for the link

 

Here's some other random dips I did with "blaze orange" I don't think I've posted em here.

I'm doing badges on a friend's car today and I'll post some pics up!

 

I say go for Ruff Stuff Steering setup.
Thats what ill be running before too long.
