Up date! I broke the rear drive shaft again so I ordered shims, hd spring plates and u bolts. And a new flange for the 8.8. So I went out to wheel it and finally don't break a thing!!!!! So tomorrow I'm going to add a traction bar and start back up on cage soon

Going a different route now, after wheeling big blue jeep, last run a silver lake, engine got a strong knock . So I decided on looking for another Xj, found one not running. Long story short had a cps that was bad and guy replaced cam position sensor with a bad one and couldn't find where crank pos. sensor was so didn't replace that. I replaced it and put old cam sensor on and she fired up. Then I had bought built stock axles for my blue jeep and I'm going to swap all good parts to new jeep! And I'll keep posting progress as I go!


Axles are 456 gears Detroit tru trac locker rear and after market shafts and g2 diff cover

Fronts gears, Aussie locker upgraded steering

Forgot to add had a guy come buy almost my complete lift! So I bought new 6.5 leafs and 8.5 coils. Hd u bolt plates and u bolts.
Got a long arm kit from one of my old college instructors. And a double shear trac bar.

Welded heavy duty lower control arm mounts on front axle and cut off pass. Side mount on axle.

Working on it tonight so I'll post more pics
