well as you can tell it was tight in the back
(my 150lbs worth of sterio didn't help)
2 PB 15's

so i got tired of the slight rubbing so again looking around on here saw something about making a bastard pack with s-10 leafs and put grand cherokee coils up front so for about $100 i picked up some coils rear leafs and new ubolts and new yj rear brakeline and went to work
this is the after math

well i like how it sits i think if i took my stereo out of the back it would sit level but i still have one more s-10 leaf left so i might get bored and put it in lol

the bastard pack is xj main,s-10 main,s-10 second,s-10 overload and i got about 3.5 inches of lift
the coils i got about 2 more inches up front

so far no drive line vibs or any problems
also i put ford 302 #19 injectors in it runs much better
been through about 6 different exhaust systems and i found the one i like the best is a flowmaster 40 series turned around backwards and dumped
i had straight piped
muffler out the side
pretty much everything but it seems to run and sound the best how it is with the flow turned around backwards

other than that i haven't done anything els to it
currently at 279,000 still running strong

Not bad for 500! LOL

Proven fact - 1990 XJ's were the greatest ones ever produced! :rofl:

Looks great man, awesome job! Keepin things cheap & easy ftw!

Am I the only one who can't see the top pics?

Can I make a suggestion? Get a cheap fake chrome exhaust tip and trim the one you got?

Just a subtle little dress up.

I dont see them either.

Nope no pics just little box's with red x's

well there they are, nice pics too. Looking really good!

Glad I'm not the only one. Was worried for a sec.


:redx:

he must have fixed them i can see um

looks good man not bad for $500

I still can't see the first dozen or more.

i would if the exhaust came out the side still lol

Nevermind then. :D

I'll be doing a side mount on my 2 door.

yeah i had it straight piped and got pulled over for it by the pricks down here so i got a fix it ticket and had to make it quieter haha
it will be straight piped again one day soon

I don't think I'll do a straight pipe, but I'll still have it out the side.

yeah straight pipe out the side is way to loud
i have a flowmaster 40 series turned around backwards to fit up in the frame rails and it has a really deep tone but not too loud
i like the sound of it
also a gibson muffler sounds really good if you got the 4.0
