88 Xj mild to wild
Well my 4.88 r&p stripped in the Dana 30. Gonna 're build it and only do mild wheeling(yeah right) until I sell them and start throwing the one tons under her.
I'm thinking Fox air shocks on all four corners. I just don't want to have to try and put a coil bucket on the drivers side of that super 60. I hear it is a pain. I'm also thinking of dove nosing the front while I'm at it cause I have to cut that fender well out mostly anyways if I do coil overs or air shocks.
Decisions decisions. Also the caps spit on the 8.8 flange adapter u joint and broke it, I guess I've been spinning that on the rocks a little too long lol I need to figure out some sort of guard for it.
Here's a pic of the diff damage. Yes that's a ring gear tooth sitting on the carrier lol

been forever since i got on the old forum.
i cut out the b pillars and added a DOM hoop for a roll bar, starting the cage slowly but surely.
gotta order crow harnesses just cause its uneasy wheeling this thing with the stock belts. going to start to order parts for the tons. just need a place to tear this thing down and I can finally get em under the jeep. gonna double triangulate the rear I think.
the uniframe at the steering box is starting to tear apart. as well as stress cracks around the trackbar welds. gonna brace all that up well before the next run.
front clip is smashed to hell now and the front bumper is bent.
this thing will be getting a good makeover this month before the run I have planned the first weekend in march. pictures will appear as I go.
