I got my driveshaft and SYE install on Friday night at 11 pm and took it on its maiden voyage on Saturday. Did a run from silverwood lake to big bear (crab flats). The driveshaft held up great. But I ran into another problem 99 XJ build-uploadfromtaptalk1376903253025.jpg
So now it's looks like I have to kick this project into high gear! I think the next step is a cage, considering the damage this weekend.

I was going to build my jeep little by little. But I guess this really kick started the "projekt XJ" factor

Hey guys. Been awhile since I posted on here. But i have couple updates. Got my new doors installed since my rollover. Also I decided that I'm going to build an s10 bastard pack leaf set for the rear. Looking into getting the acos adjustable spacer.

Glad to see my old arms being ran

Have you thought about using chevy leafs? Like the 63 inch ones from a pickup? I know they make shorter ones too that are 58-60 long that work as good. This way itll ride like a Cadillac.

I ended up picking up some Rubicon express leafs for super cheap, never mounted.
