Stock knuckles with the BTF Hi-Steer bracket modded to fit an XJ

 

Very interesting. How you liking it? Any more shots?

 

I don't have any other pics at the moment, but ill get some for you. I like that it made the passengers side knuckle double sheer.

 

I hadn't heard of it before, but I definitely like the setup. How long have you been running it? Any issues?

 

Here are their pictures:







I had to redrill a new upper mounting point about an inch further back and remove material up to the original upper mounting point to get full lock

 

I have to many projects and to little time



New axles, bumpers, t-case, springs etc etc

 

Picked up a Victory4x4 bumper and modified it to fit my warm m8000

 

Nice Jeep! I like your bumper.

How much lift minimum do you think you need to run 35's with your Bushwackers? I'm at 3.5" with the bushwacker cutouts on 31's. I want to go 35's, but don't want to lift much more.

I'm moving up to Alaska in June so I really liked your wheeling pictures. Can't wait to get my rig out there.

 

Theres a guy around me that has 4"s with BW pocket flares and 35s

If your on facebook check out Jeepin alaska and Alaska XJ 2.0

 

thanks! I'll check it out.

 

I love that idea! I've been wanting a hidden winch bumper and I wanted to build one but I love that idea better!

 

Replacing my D300. Swapping from the short output from a 1980 to a 1981 case within the new speed sensor rear output. Half way through swapping t-cases i ran into a slight issue with a missing rear output shaft seal on the "new" case. I'll be picking up a new one tomorrow and hopefully have everything installed by tomorrow evening.

Case on the left is from a 81 CJ and case on the right is from a 80


Lack of rear seal


On the bright side. Hopefully the RTV has time to fully set up and I don't have leaks on this case

 

First test drive in almost 2 years. I forgot hot squirrly these rigs are. The short wheel base will take some getting used to.

 

Small update

Plugging away at the d44. Last things left to finish are the uca mounts and trackbar mount


Tires waiting on my new rings for the beadlocks to be cut so I can mount these


Painted my bumper




And started building the rear bumper


Baby steps s but she's coming together

 

Wow! I just went through all your build thread. She has really come a long way. That d44 looks like tank proof. I subscribed. Have a good one bro.
