lookin good,dont be skeered to post up in the Md thread,lottsa knowledgeable peeps for any of yer questions, i got a homebrew t/c drop you can have, cuz i was warned,n warned again bout usin a t/c drop,so i removed-it

 

that would be awesome!, right now im in week 4 of my 6 week wait for a tailbone from detours, tomorrow im ordering new tires, then i plan on the iron rock exhaust and hi flow cat, and solid diff covers, then shell be winter ready, i really want more lift, not happy with the RC lift, saggy leafs...

 

wellllllp, some stuff has been done to the xj lately, ill post pics tonight or tomorrow, but i plastidipped my rubi moabs, got my treadwright bfgs mounted and balanced, all aligned up, cut my stock muffler and tailpipe off and installed a flowmaster 40, no pipe after the muffler, sounds pretty damn tough, got some nice trail damage on the passenger rear door, and my tire carrier from detours should be here monday! im surprised at how much progress ive made.


Future mods:

1. SYE and CV driveshaft from adams driveshaft
2. add longer shackles and coil spacers for about a 4 inch lift
3. New brakes on all fours
4. Solid diff covers front and rear

im hoping i can do all this stuff through the winter and have the jeep ready for jeep week in ocean city next summer. all is going as planned at this point in the build and the xj feels great!

 

MODERATORS!! CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME CHANGE MY BUILD NAME? I TRIED TO SWITCH IT BUT IT ISNT SHOWING UP WHEN I LOOK AT MY THREAD IN THE BUILD THREAD SECTION!?!?

 

i reported it for revisions

 

THANKS DUKIE!!

 

Id like it to actually be " 2000 xj project candace" with an a haha thanks guys!

 

i like this one, and you can see my new Warden A/T's from treadwright.

 

couple more poser shots with my worn mtrs

 

 

Changed my front and rear differential fluids, ring and pinions look good in the dana 35 and chrysler 8.25. Painted up the rear axle and added her name to the rear diff cover.


Chrysler 8.25

 

Plasti dipped the moabs, got the treadwrights mounted and balanced. got candace aligned, shes feeling goooood.

 

finally my dad had the idea of using his gear puller set to pop off the old tapper in the stabilizer that was keeping us from installing the new one. so i got the new one in and now when i hit bumps the steering wheel doesnt wander a bit.

 

i pulled my fender liners out up front when i removed the flares. When you do that and open your door you can see tire in the hole where the hinges are. i saw on a thread some time ago that guys were putting pool noodles in the fender and using expanding foam to keep it in there to keep water and mud and rocks and gunk from getting all over your hinges. i liked the idea of blocking off that are so i used the idea.

without the white noodle there all you can see is tire and asphalt.


You can really cram the noodle in there for a tight fit before the expanding foam, then spray it with bedliner. you could also do a much neater foam job than i did lol that "great stuff" crap is hard to use

 

Got some a pillar light brackets from Mark at Detoursusa.com. these things look awesome, now i just need some KC's!!



I also talked to Mark today about my tailbone tire carrier, judging from conversation its going to be a couple more weeks

im sure it will be well worth the wait
