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.
Your right

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

Have a d30low pinion and chryselr 8.25 29 spline rear. Spartans work well, rear spartan is hella noisy on the road though but i only usually drive it to work every so often so no big deal. Solid covers are holding up to some abuse. Front d30 cover has alot of rock love on it.

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! :-)

Its harder to mount the quarter panel armor on the driver side than it is to do the cut and fold. Seriously

Best way to see is type in d30 low pinion and d30 high pinion into a google search for images and compare to yours
