Hahaha sure it wasnt
But thanks for the compliment! I need to get a mod to change the name of this build... Not really that mild anymore
I'm thinking, 88 xj...mild to wild

 

Bled the calipers on the 8.8 and drove it for the first time in 3 days! It felt good, no vibes from the rear end.
Stopping defiantly feels better than before with the disks now as well

 

Little update, 8.8 is feeling GREAT back there by the way guys! One of the best mods Iv done yet.
I just installed my led tail lights, those suckers are bright.
My girl is getting me a lifetime alighnment from Firestone tomorrow for valentines day! (I know it's a week away I just need an alighnment bad Lol)

 

Can they do lifted vehicle alignments?

 

I called my local one and they said they would try to get it as close to stock as possible.
Then I asked if I was changing steering components (stock to 1 ton ect ect) would they still do it on the lifetime and they said yes

 

Anybody wondering if daystar switches pop in with no mods...they do!




And my girlfriend got me these funny cards yesterday

 

24"
Mounted on this for now, it will go on the l&l

 

Went wheeling tonight, smashed a tail light. Jeeps first real carnage

 

Went shooting, got the jeep in the background!
You can see the smashed tail light. Bent the quarter pannel a tiny bit.
That's okay though cause I'm planning on getting crf quarter pannel guards with the rail!

 

Made a rear cargo area box

 

Well my d30 is bent a bit. I think the c's. I can find a hp 30 around here for 60$ so ima do that soon. Probably do the wj knuckle conversion when I'm cleaning up the new d30 as well. Done quite a bit of research on it already. A couple questions though.
Will my brand new iron rock Doubleshear track bar still work relocated over the axle?
Also, what steering options are good for this swap. I would want something I could order and not have to have someone fab up like most others have done with this swap.

Other than that the xj's doin me good right now. Still waiting on the l&l winch bumper. Been 9&1/2 weeks lol

 

Go vote for me in COM! Now!!! Lol
On a serious note, the ol 4.0 got tired on me and a new ones going in sometime this month

 

No, the track bar won't work, it's probably going to be too long.

Custom steering is the best bet. Clayton makes the whole kit you need, and you definitely pay for it.

 

I gave up on the wj knuckle idea as soon as my 4.0 gave up on me lol.
So here's the story(short version) TONS of oil in my intake manifold. Clean ccv lines so I know that's not why. Did compression test..all rings are shot beyond belief and #2 cylinder is at 30 psi...
So a remanufactured engine will be going in soon, I'm doing the work so it won't cost an arm and a leg. At the same time I'm finally doing my brown dog motor mounts and pacesetter headers

 

Sounds like my engine lol.
