Nope you cant use 2 coats. It doesnt stick to itself. it was definitely on there thick enough the first time. You can tell. It just doesn't stick to even slightly greasy surfaces. It acted like water on a glass window
It stuck really well to the tubes but I had a lot of trouble getting it to stay on the differential and coil buckets etc

 

gotta install everything this week. yes this build is finally getting finished

starting with the reman durango box and JCR spacer



and a little power steering cooler for good measure



it's push time on this XJ because I need a DD. front suspension and SYE tomorrow. hopefully...

 

alrighty. the D-turdy is finally ready. gonna need some new hardware to get it in

specs:
upper ball joints
lower ball joints
UCA mount bushings
4.56 gears
aussie locker
ruffstuff cover

future plans will be ABS shafts and 760 joints. gonna try that setup for a bit
then maybe a WJ knuckle swap next year



oh and here is the stock steering spacer. I was curious so I put pressure onto it to see if I could bend it easily

I broke it with my hands by bending it against the cement. WEAK

 

SYE installed. just gotta put the yokes on and install the case tomorrow. one step closer to finishing project build-an-entire-jeepinnaweek

 

nice! cant wait to see pictures of it on all 4

 

tcase is back in and all set.
here is a front end mock up. everthing still needs to be tightened up

the excitement is building. it's finally starting to look like a trail rig

 

looking good!

 

today I picked up 2 drivelines. xj stock fronts. they are all interchangeable front and rear which is awesome if I ever break one

here is all of our blood sweat and tears from the weekend

adj RE 4.5" short arm lift. zj tie rod. stainless brake lines all around. ruffstuff cover. still needs some adjusting and a DS track bar bracket


8.8 ruffstuff install kit and cover. no paint yet


and we did a quick cheap exhaust. not a glasspack but still hope it doenst sound like ****!

 

so freakin jealous right now......

 

I looked through this whole thread but I couldnt find out what size these meats were?


Looking great BTW.

 

thank you! they are 33x12.5 R15

 

feelin lazy. got some rear shocks tonight and more fluid and put some stickers on



and this is for every idiot driving a prius that cuts me off on the freeway

 

Lookin good

 

the final progress of 2 weeks of hard work. still needs a few more things before I can DD it but here it is

test drive was amazing. no sway bars and it feels just like driving a stock cherokee. barely any body roll
steering handles amazing. so smooth it feels stock but I did lose a tiny bit of turning radius.
rear locker. I cant even feel the detroit. it's really quiet too
4x4 engages and everything works!

RE bracket welded





shocks installed
