Wow, sick XJ, looks great with the Bushwacker flares.

 

Played around with my roof rack today. The one thing I always hated about it was how high it sat. Today I played around with the height

I flipped the mounting points


Sits about 3.5" lower. About .25" about the roof


The reason behind finally messing with the rack


It's actually getting dark up here again. Time to busy out the big guns

Also took my non-broken stock fog light and wired in for a reverse light

 

Thanks. It's been a fun project!

 

Subscribe. Love the STi.

 

Lowered my *** end down and am running into some issues

What it looked like yesterday

The *** end sat about 1.5" higher

I swapped some stock shackles in and got this

Sits much better but now the shackles hit over bumps


I clearances the shackle relocators when I got them so I can't move them a hole back.

Suggestions?

 

So I did a little more work and came up with this
The 1.5" shackles moved to the center hole


Shackle angle


Used my hi lift to test the compression to make sure it wouldn't bottom out.

 

Went for a ride out to Matanuska glacier yesterday









Did some parking lot pimpin/measuring for bumps tops on my snow pile







I've got some 2" RE bumpstops I'm going to throw in and see how that works

 

Decided I didn't want a roof rack or basket anymore so I ordered this piece from OMF offroad. Very nice, high quality heavy mounts for my light bar. I wish I would just sprayed it clear to show off the colors and welds.

 

This is an awesome build thread!!!!
Great looking XJ Classic!!!
Keep us all up to date on any new mods!

 

Thanks. Just returned your PM

 

C-clips and Aussies are not fun. :-/

RubiconExpress extended front stainless brake lines, 96 Dakota rear soft brake line & 98 ZJ discs from a dana 44a

Finnish the disc swap/longer brake lines this morning so I had to test it out.

Front yard flexin




Got bored so I went to the closest trail.

Frozen






This guy didn't do so well, I don't think he'll be getting out anytime soon


Flexin on my way out

 

looking good i love how you put the led bar in line with the roof it looks amazing

 

how's the detroit up front and aussie ride on the street? I'm going detroit in the rear and spartan up front...

 

love the lightbar mounted up top like that.

 

Thanks. I was getting close to not fitting in the garage. Had to loose the rack :-(

On the street the Detroit rides like an open diff. On my last little adventure it let me down. 3 times. I almost had to use my winch. 4low made the Detroit act like I wanted it to. I have an Aussie in my old front carrier. As much as I'd hate to loose the full case Detroit I might swap em out if the Detroit continues to disappoint.

OMC offroad built a very high quality/sturdy product. I'd def recommend them.
