Oh I know its not "cheap" but I think I can do it for less then a kit. Just curious, why did you go with 3/4 heims instead of 7/8? Also where did you get that trac bar bracket? Thanks for the info man. Keep up the great work!

So I don't know why I didn't do 7/8 Heims. I'm kinda wishing I had now but 3/4 will probably be ok. And the bracket came from ballistic fabrication and its awesome. Easy to weld together and pretty beefy. I need to rebuild my "frame" end mount because the one I built hits the coil.

Yea after I wrote you I found that bracket. I'm going to get the steering kit from ballistic with 7/8 heims. Then I was just looking at the tnt trac bar kit. Comes with axle bracket and "frame" side. Seems the easiest way to go. I'm running 15x8 wheels with 3.75 backspacing. Do you think I will run into any clearance issues with 7/8 heims? Your xj is where I'm getting all my ideas from man. Its badass!

Keep in mind their steering kit does not include Heims for your track bar. I did have enough tube for the tie rod drag link and track bar tho. I think that will clear ur tires but not 100% sure

nice build. I like your rear bumper. Once I get a welder I want to add cut and fold supports and build a tire carrier. I also like the supports you welded to your hitch.

my plan to stick with is a final 4.5" on 33x10.50s havent decided on gears yet

Thanks man I also have a thread on my bumper in the fab section. Sounds like a good plan. You should do 4:56 I'm still on 4:10 and 35s and its not too horrible but mileage is bad

Thanks man. I haven't done much updating lately. The lates project was my 8.8 swap with Aussie locker. Will post pics later

Nice build man! Glad to see another flat black colorado xj. Our rigs look similar. We should wheel sometime! Keep up the good work!
