Default Arizona XJ Build

This is the day I got the Heep. November 2007

It remained stock for quite awhile. I took it everywhere exploring Arizona. We saw a lot of beautiful places. Lake Pleasant

Crown King

Grand Canyon

I knew I wanted to lift it from the beginning, and finally pulled the trigger in August 2009. Here are a couple pictures during the build.



Here it is complete. Had to throw the bike on the back to see how she looked.

And here's how she sits sits today. Sorry about the cell pics.


Thanks for looking!

So far I've just done the lift, RC 4.5" full leafs, RC adjustable trackbar, and tires and wheels. The tires are BFG A/T 32x11.50x15.

Do you have any driveline vibes or problems of any sort as a result of the lift?

The driveline vibes were really bad, but I did the TC drop right away. It's not perfect. I will do an SYE in the future. No other problems to speak of right now.

It snows a lot up in Northern AZ.

There are lots of little secrets that the desert holds, like some awesome lakes and amazing mountains...

It's called a Moto Jack Rack. I'm pretty sure it's not made anymore, but there is another company called Ultimate MX Hauler that makes the exact same thing.
