haha thats perfect, nice build

 

Your xj deff proved itself today! Sweet ride man.

 

haha yeah, one of my favorite driveway pics. I appreciate it man.

 

Thanks Brent! Yours did real good too, those tires and drop brackets impressed me. Can't wait to wheel with you again, hopefully it'll be dryer next time.

 

With it being hot outside and all, i fixed up the back doors and took them off too. Personally i think it looks better with all 4 off.




Also found a brand new set of IRO longarms on a local forum for cheap, i'm talking to the guy selling them now.

 

Glad u liked em and thanks man! Deff ready for the next trip. You aint gonna keep me outta there now. Haha!

 

Im gonna work on my doors tomorrow. To bad i got electric everything! Haha. Let me know when you get those long arms and i'll help you put em on.

 

Me too. Man, i went to lkq salvage yard today looking for manual crank doors and locks and every cherokee in there had electric stuff lol. I'm excited about the longarms. I'm going to the beach tomorrow and picking them up on the way. $300 for brand new IRO arms and crossmember!

 

Thats a sweet deal!! We gotta test em out soon after you get em put on. I just readjusted my front bumpstops so no more scrubbing!!

 

Nice buddy! i have to redo mine also. Can you get me a pic of your front shocks with your jeep sitting level? A measurement of how much rod is showing would be awesome also. You did say you're at 4.5" of lift and have 6.5" lift shocks in the front right?

I have no idea what to do about front shocks right now. I'd like to get away with a cheap white body shock but i don't wanna limit any travel so i've got some homework to do on shocks tonight.

Just got back from the beach, working on it today. I also ordered some stainless extended brakelines. Should be here soon.

 

Gettin there...I've got to run to the part store to get a new zerk fitting for the driver's side arm tomorrow. Also i'm out of cut off wheels so i'm pretty much stuck there for the day. At first i tried installing one side at a time and it was a PITA until i took all the factory links out and had the axle moving around on the jack. I love the crossmember however.

But yeah..zerk fitting, cutting off old brackets, waiting for brakelines, and measuring for shocks then she's ready to wheel again!

Bad pic sorry.

 

Im jealous man! Lol. Yea i'll get you some measurements from my shocks, mine are just RC nitro's. Nothing too special. My fronts have ~4.5"s from bottoming out and my rears have ~5"s of rod showing. I just bump stopped accordingly.

 

I really do appreciate that man. I've been reading up a lot about shocks the past couple nights.

Those factory lower control arm mounts are being a pain to get off tonight. Getting my dad to bring over the torch tomorrow.

 

I would have to torch mine, no doubt! i added welds to mine. Lol.

And on my xj i actually try'd to fit the longest shock i could in mine for two reasons, one being incase i decided to raise the lift, and two for the most drop possible.

 

This is awesome!
