Rear: Was a Dana 44 with Solid Lockrite and Terraflex disc swap but that got stolen:devil::devil:

So now I'm just going to run an 8.25 with Yukon 4.88s with Limited slip while I build up a 8.8 this winter :-) (Looking for someone to gear locally for cheap) any interest just PM me.

Looks like an awesome build! Can't wait to see how it turns out. Love the color too, very unique.

Clean jeep man. I can tell that this is going to be a awesome build!!!

First off, looks like it will be a great build looking forward to seeing what this turns out to be. Second, only other XJ ive seen that came stock this color was driven by a cute little brunette i ran into at the local dunkin donuts.... very nice :yes:

It's like sunshine on wheels ! I love the color man and it sound like it'll be a great built ! Keep up the good work.

Gotta love a yellow rig. :head:

Looking good man!

What part of Utah are you from?

I'm down in Provo :-)

Right on. Personally if you're going to do an 8.25 in the rear on 33's, there's really no sense in building an 8.8. An 8.25, even an older 27 spline 8.25, will hold to 35's just fine.

That's true but I'm always wanting to over build ;-) I guess I'll run the 8.25 tell I break something.


Currie HD steering on the way!

Some updates:

Finally got my spare T-Case back freshly rebuilt with Tom Woods SYE and Custom Tom Woods rear driveshaft.

Repairs done:
*Rear main seal
*Valve cover
* Oil pan gasket
Soon to be ordered:
Rubicon Express 4.5" leafs, 5.5" coils, HD Track bar and bracket from
