Stinger hoop, 1.75 DOM with .120 wall. Only 45 bucks.

I'm gonna cut the prerunner style hoop off the bumper and slap this bad boy on.

Ruffstuff Heims arrived,



Black Phoenix-image-988588405.jpg


Did some measuring twice and then cut up the dom tubing to exact lengths then welded the thread adapters to the tubing

Of course they were all TIG welded.

I haven't decided if I should paint them yellow or black yet.

Bought some 3/4 bolts, whoa 27 bucks just for three bolts, three lock washers, and three nuts.

Gonna have to drill 3/4 holes on my knuckles and the pitman arm someday.

Oh yea I went and bought a pitman arm puller from Advance Auto, with an online discount, the total came to 12 bucks.

Last Saturday I went to the junkyard because the fiancee's WJ needed some brake upgrade and an AC compressor.

She had the Tevas style calipers on it and the braking was getting real rough, so we decided to do the akebono calipers upgrade. Will post pictures when the swap is done.

But while I was walking around the junkyard, I spotted a xj with a wrecked front end, but something caught my eye, a pair of new leaf springs!

My silver xj had real bad sagging leaf packs

So this pick was perfect to bring the rear end back to stock (new) height.
