Unreal rig man...this is my jealous face....

 

Got some more armor in today.

 

 

Are those riveted? The rig looks sweet.

 

Nope a stainless rounded allen head bolt. That would be one hell of a rivet though if it were lol. Thanks!

 

Freakin SWEEEEEEET!

 

Thinking of upgrading to 35s as well. What's it like running on a Dana 30 and Chrysler 8.25 locked? I'm just worried about the LP30. Hows it holding it?

 

Thats awesome, man! Rad build!

 

No issues at all. So many on here think the lp30 is a turd but its not. Have 5 guys in my jeep club running 37" swampers on lp30 under wranglers.

Ive took this rig up and down **** guys with built rigs and 42s couldnt make it. Ill get some pics up from my last ride at SMORR here tomorrow probably. Been busy as all hell lately.

 

Thanks!

 

That rear quarter panel armor is awesome!

 

That is a nice clean XJ, good stuff.

 

YEs it is and it took a hell of a beating @ SMORR.

Thanks i love grey it doesnt show all the dents and scratches as easy

 

Great build. I just went through the whole thing and I have a few questions.

1st. 4.56 and 35s. Why didn't you go 4.88s? I have 4.56s in my basement and plan on running 35s next spring. I just hope I don't regret not getting 4.88s

2nd did the RC shackle relocation kit add any height to your lift?

 

1) 4.56 has a bigger pinion gear which results in more tooth engagement which means i can be harder on it lol. Do i wish i had went 4.88? Yes a lil which is why im putting 4.88s in my fathers 99xj. Started a build thread on it as well. It will be built a tad different but same basic suspension setup. Links in my sig

2) Yes it adds atleat a 1" to a 1 1/2". I carry enough weight from the bumper, armor,spare tire,spare parts, and tools in the back that it sets close to even with the front.
