...? or just regular utk?
And as far as wheeling- I will probably be going on the 30th or the 7th...just let me know man I am trying to enjoy the Colorado trails as much as I can before I move out to Texas where there are nothing but hills and mud.
HOLY SPIT! I hope the xj survives that. I dont know how you REALLY wheel your cherokee but even if its moderate, you might have some breakage in moab. Best of luck with the trip and its entirety though.Originally Posted by gvns8
Thanks man I definitely need all the prayer I can get to pass that class. And yea Hopefully my jeep survives Moab cuz I will be driving it to California after wheeling about 4 days there. I am trying to get it all ready to go by finishing up some last things. I just put on some longer brake lines and a few other items. Now I just need some adjustable upper control arms, and maybe longer shocks and new steering-which is why I am really interested to see what you are doing steering-wise. Is the local guy FrankZ or someone else? what are you going with otk, wj swap, high steer ...? or just regular utk?

Yes, FrankZ. 1.25" x .281 wall DOM tie rod and drag link. Plus new Chevy Tie Rod Ends. I bought a JKS adjustable Track Bar too off of Frank's site. All in all goodstuff. I should be driving by midweek.
I'll totally go wheeling with you 7th. Where are you thinking? I've never done ER.
Updates from rebuild of steering.
-Crappy Track bar mount is gone and re-frabricated by FrankZ
-JKS adjustable TB is in place and tie rod and drag link ready to go in.

Wow, i havent done anything to my XJ in a while. Thats untrue, I have wheeled it once. HAHA
Enough of the bullcrap of making my XJ look better (i.e. bumpers, removable doors blah blah..) i have a few things to do to make my rig safer and more reliable as a DD and 4x4 capable
- Extended brake lines. I'm technically a banjo player.
- Hockey puck bumpstops. My tires are going up too far therefor slicing into the lugs. DAMNIT
- Possibly a SYE
- Shackles for the rear so my leafs can stretch properly
Thats it; short simple list for now. Im headed to CSU as a freshmen and am wondering if I'll be able to do it all. But I won't do much wheeling without this list mostly finished

Hey man I have an extra set of brake lines I have that are off a dodge ram van that are about 5-6 inches longer than stock that you can have. I also have extra hocky pucks with holes in them you can have...but you play so I am sure you have a ton haha.Originally Posted by FlemingXJ
