looks awesome!

 

Thanks! I wanted to make it look as professional as possible and I highly recommend this mod to everyone that is dealing with the stock roof rails and hates how they bounce.

 

Well got a package today.



Hmmm.. wonder what could be in there?




BAM!!






These things are AWESOME!! Thanks a bunch to Andy and John at IronMan4x4!!

 

Wow man, I can't believe how similar our jeeps are. Both had Cragar Soft 8s and General At2 tires. Both have Kicker subwoofers and both cherokees are black. Plus, we're both jersey jeepers. BTW, I love that Xtera switch panel, I'm thinking of doing something along those lines. I stared at that panel for at least 3 minutes.

 

Hahaha I picked up on most of those same similarities. Thanks for the compliments on the switch panel. It is a good mod, but my clips weren't long enough to keep it up there with the subs rattling it out lol I may try it again since I redid my headliner, but we'll see.

 

Well just like everyone else that has a 97+, my center console had a really bad wobble. I figured it was the mounting bracket and grabbed one from the junk yard the other day and put it in today.

Here's a comparison to a good mount vs. mine.



Obviously it's broken......

Well now it feels great and I grabbed an extra mount just incase this one decides to fall apart on me lol

 

I replaced my center console bracket back in August. Its broken again. Someone in the fabrication section welded one up with steel. Doubt thats going to be breaking. BTW, what junkyard are you going to? Seems they have alot of good stuff?

 

Here it is
I think I'm going to have a friend make me one.

 

Yeah I've seen that before but I figured I'd just try this for now. The junk yard I go to is in Jamesburg on Lincoln Ave. It's called Red & Black Auto Wreckers. It would be kind of a ride for you though coming from Cherry Hill.

 

Ok, I go to Micciche Junkyard in Vorhees, NJ. Has a big selection, but alot of the good stuff has already been looted.

 

I go every couple weeks just to poke around and see what's new and normally I'll walk out with something lol Plus just going and getting them to see your face helps out a lot too so that they get to know you and you can end up getting hooked up with some sweet deals from time to time

 

Nice build man. Looking forward to seein those arms mounted and get a drivabilty update

 

Thanks! Hopefully within the next couple of weeks

 

Lifted up the rear today and I netted 4" of lift. I used a Rusty's 3.5" AAL with an extra main leaf from another XJ. I will follow with pictures tomorrow in the day light. Also I have no vibes, but have only tested up to 55 mph so far. I have a t-case drop and a 3* shim so this combo seems to be working.

 

Well here's some pictures of the rear end finally back up in the air.





Hope fully I'll get around to the front sooner or later. The rear was a nightmare because every single bolt broke on the shocks and the shock bolt of the axle mount on the passenger side snapped too. took about 3 hours just drilling out bolt holes.
