Copy that!

 

Went wheeling a few weeks back and got another pic today. Thing needs some paint

 

Hey man awesome xj! Looks like a beast. So I read you haven't regeared yet. How is it on 35's with the stock gears? Power ok? Is the mileage terrible? Again man awesome xj!

 

Thanks man. Haven't done gear work but I think It may be geared already. Thing launches of stoplights and flies up hills. The owner before me bought it from another guy lifted and with 34s. He didn't know anything about previous gear work, but I swear its already geared. Soon I'm gonna pop the diff open and find out. The mileage sucks tho but it's a jeep lol. I have a Subaru I drive everyday

 

Jack it up and spin the tire and count how many times the drive shaft rotates per full tire rotation and you could get close

 

Yea have heard that too but I'm gonna do a fluid change cuz I'm assuming its 18 years old lol

 

Yeah worth it lol need to do mine too... What brake lines do you have?

 

Stock with the bend to add a couple inches. I jacked the rubicon stainless rear off my old jeep before they towed it away, just need to install that. My 97 had the SS line and Chevy 1500 front lines. Super long on like 5" lift. May do them again

 

What year chevy lines? I need new ones in the front now, but im adding more lift and going to bigger tires so i wont be able to flex as much... and im 2wd lol

 

Not sure the year I just looked around the forums and found the part numbers at napa, walked right in and asked for the 2 numbers and that was them. Now keep in mind, ur not gonna have as much up travel with larger tires, but you wanna focus on down travel. That's when u need longer lines. A lot of guys wanna keep as low as possible but have a ton of down travel

 

Let me post pics from my phone and ill show you lol

 

Ok so this is 3 inch lift on 30's. my down travel is limited by brake lines and track bar at the moment. I'm 2wd and the coil is unseated meaning I have no weight there to provide traction IF I had 4wd... So i would be good in theory. Now I'm going to add 2 inches or so and run 33's hopefully. You can see where my bump towers were cut to get the springs in and so bump stopping is pretty much not gonna happen unfortunately... Lol I could do limiting straps and I guess I'll have to do something lol but it's a work in progress.

 

Nice careful with those lines! Lol. 25 bucks for Chevy lines. Make sure u install an bleed properly. Don't wanna f with brake issues

 

Exactly haha i got out and saw that and was like oh **** lol

 

Are u planing on a 4wd conversion? You ain't going too far with 2wd
