In my opinion, I would try to do the wj knuckle conversion and run 1 ton TRE's if you have the funds.

 

Not now lol... WJ conversion is expensive.

 

haha yea no doubt, but worth it

 

Sorry for the instagram pic but i wanted to show what ive been doin. Tryin to learn to weld so i changed some stuff on my bumper. Got pigeon turd welds haha

workin on gettin off the ground

 

Good looking XJ, nice build man.

 

THanks man, means alot! your avatar is pretty awesome

 

Thanks!! It's hard to make round headlights look good on an XJ, but i really like yours! Any plans for some bigger axles any time soon?

 

Preciate that! Yes very very soon.problem is i live in an aprtment so i dont have an area to fab some axle in. I was at least trying to find some axles that came off an xj like some 44's that would bolt up but i couldnt find them in time for me to regear. Once i graduate, get a real job and a house im plannin some full width 60's so i can run 40's

 

Nice man, yeah when i did my first axle swap, i had just got married and lived in an apartment..luckily my buddy let me build at his house.. And just my input, front 60 kingpin is great..rear 60, not so much imo..find a 14 bolt or a Sterling. You can run 40s all day long on a stock 14 bolt and never have a problem, just shave it down..ballistic fab sells a shave kit and shaved gears..which makes it super easy to do. You'll be glad you did! Anyway, keep up the good work!

 

Ahhh good to know! But yea man it never ends!

 

14 bolt ff cc 4.10 for $150 in Michigan haha

 

Kingpin 60 front and 60 rear 4.10 $900 also in Michigan.
Sell the 60 rear and boom you got you're axles.

 

so I give you the money for the axles, you make brackets for the axles at your fancy work. take a sweet road trip down here and help me put em on?

 

Today i flew for the first time



Then i did it like 4 more times haha
