took her out to estes park last weekend. this is trail ridge road right near the top.



also did a little flex test. i was by myself and didnt want to go any higher on the wall. not fully flexed, but its all i got til i wheel this pig!!

 

i cant even count how many xj bumpers i have built! been doing this for 13 years now....on xj number 30.....vehicle number 60!! i have a little problem with commitment! j/k...i just like side money!!

thanks a bunch man......i really like this jeep!! a little taller than i'd like, but oh well right?

 

I looked up and down this thread and didnt find if you're 4-linking your 9" or just running leafs. You definitely have the skills and means to run coils in the rear.

Tell the people what they want to hear... aka 4-link man.

 

for now, i will be running leafs. im not made of cash man!!!!! i have owned this thing since march this year, and am already building it for the third time!! who does that? oh yeah, i do, a lot.

here is current state. started swapping axles yesterday.




mmmmmmmmmm.....its wide


should be wrapped up with the axles today......and i think i need 37s now


.

 

so i havent updated in a while.

axles are awesome, and have wheeled a few times with only minor issues.


found out here i needed longer brake lines. they looked like banjo strings.


wonderful colorado



got our first snow



built some new bumpers and poser flexshot



It flexes way better with the fullwidths!!!





tinted my tail lights, turn signals, and side makers. have since sold both front bumpers and started a new one. rear is still for sale.

also added a set of black housing 8000k HID headlights.

exo cage coming soon.........

need to relocate my shackles. they bind up in the stock hangers. i will have 3 more inches of stuff in the rear when i fix this.

need tires soon. im not a fan of mtrs. gonna be looking in the 37-38'' flavor. prob iroks or swamper sx's.

I have a shop now, so havent got much time to work on my xj!!...just everyone elses!!

 

working on the killing machine today.


trying to finish up two front bumpers......making prototypes is fun. i get to get creative. hopefully one of them actually stays on my jeep!!

will post up pics tonight.

 

Love the Jeep. You do some nice fab work.

Subscribed for further updates.

 

front prototype bumper done.







the killing machine is prob gonna be sold this weekend. watch for a new build to thread.

and for those of you about to say "no, dont sell it!", this is what i do.....


i would like some feedback on this bumper, please. would you buy one?.......under radiator, low pro winch bumper coming soon. will look pretty much like this one, but with a fairlead on the front!! and your jeep will get a new "subframe".

 

To be honest, the front bumper isn't my style. I can appreciate the labor and skill involved but am not liking the tubing "end caps". Sorry....

 

(stinger off) and fairlead on, then I like it a lot.

 

dont be sorry...i asked for feedback. all feed back is appriciated.

 

thanks for you input!

 

I love it. It's what I was looking for, for Months and just settled on a straight bumper so I could mount my winch. Let me know what your think if your selling or making more.

 

pmed ya!! i built a few extras!!....this was technically a prototype.

 

killing machine has been replaced.
