Pulled the trigger on my shocks cause my tattoo artist hadnt even started on my work and it has been more than a month. Two 10" 2.0 smooth bodies and two 14". 14" may be too tall so I might swap to 12". Calling t and j for some mounts. And looking into ideas for a shock hoop that ties into an interior tire carry. It will be for the moment. Then ill save for a full interior cage.

 

how you gonna mount them up front?

 

Well, front upper mount I was gonna get from t and j and relocate the front lower with a universal bracket.







Rear I will use a rear leaf spring plate mount and will have a custom hoop made.

All I need is money lol

 

The Christmas jeep

 

i love ur XJ, i have a 2000 2WD on a 4.5 lift!!

 

Thanks man. Thats awesome. one day I hope to race in the baja with it

 

Well havent done much with the jeep just been dding it. Dont wanna break anything before I deploy...but my putco harness came in. Is this what the packaging looked when you guus got it? My rampage headlights should come in next along with t and j's upper shock mount conversion. Hoping to throw in the front shocks and spring spacers. Before I leave in march. Also gonna get a brand new durango steering box in before I go. Mine has been pissin all over. Other than that ya'll have a great day



lol

 

Well the headlights also came in today. The look of the box I thoight they were circular, but no.

 

And they t and j shock mount conversions came in!!

 

Wow, ur spending some good money on a 2wd. IMHO

 

Ever heard of jeepspeed? Look it up. Thats what I wanna do but its slow

 

Alright. I installed my rampage headlights and the putco harness. Should get dark soon. Ill get something to eat and I'll tell you guys what I think. Anyway. Im ready to put my fox 2.0s in. I have the t and j shock mount conversion and there is a gap between the shock and each side of the mount. Was wondering if thats okay and just run the bolt through or what??

 

Went up to big bear for a snowboarding trip. Kinda scary but slow and steady the 2wd made it lol there and back.



Once down the mountain I stopped to get gas and check for grinding sound in engine bay. Well, power steering pump went. Got it home. Ran her the next day. The grinding sound turned to a whining sound. Checked again and the pully was about to snap off lol so I gotta fix that.

I deploy this month and once back I plan on finding a 98 4x4. Cage my 01 and get a 5.5" long arm and 33s. Swap my current 4.5 lift on the 01 to the future 98. Use it as a dd/crawler. The 01 is the prerunner.

A man can dream lol

 

And the front shocks are finally in lol took way too long. Had to focus on other things but its done.







Are these pictures uploading sideways??

 

Hey guys. Been looking at a long arm up grade for better ride quality. I am going with the serious offroad long arm upgrade. So my questions are: 1. Will this system work with ruffstuff frame stiffeners? 2. Plan on upgrading upper control arm mount on axle to the currie jonny joint. Will this system work wit that?
