It would yes, but the way he has it in order to be a true crossover steering like it is they couldn't be connected like your standard set up is. And the only other way is to put a longer mounting bar all on top of the knuckle and that would put more than necessary kinds of leverage on it and would be more prone to breaking. I may be wrong but that's how I see it anyways. I really do like this set up. Best of both crossover and OTK.

No problem! Build threads were a big inspiration for me to build my xj so i wanted to give back to inspire others as well. On a side not i thought it was cool when a friend posted a pic of my xj offroad on his facebook page and someone from canada comments "thats muscleheads xj".

Really that's awesome the good builds never get forgotten yours is certainly one of those! We have a really good offroad park here in maine called all wheels in Lewiston maine has a lot of what I've seen from your posts just a little less rock terrain! Silly question but on part of your build you did the re-gear and lockers...now do you have a d30 d35 set up? And how do you like the spartan setup and the solid diff. Covers was thinking about ordering those covers this week can't go wrong for 65 a piece

Great build thread and sweet lookin' rig! :-) Also watching your other build thread for your dad's rig. :-) The rear 1/4 panel armor is great. How hard was it to cut the lower 1/4 panel and rivet it? I have already dented my driver side one, and have seen a few rigs with it done and really like the look. Keep up the good work! :-)
