cool man, great vids! haha, that guy starting the laps, his commentary was great. its funny watching from first run to the quickest run.. always sweet once you get familiar with the course. as for the steering, is there any way to swap it for a r/p set up? idk dick about steering.. keep up the good work man!

Right on man! All of those driftmechaniks are from Georgia. I used to catch up with them at the local drift events quite often back before the city of Atlanta pulled the plug on drift events. It's all but died in our region now... Most of that group has gone their separate ways or just gotten out of it. I know Andy still has his car and participates where he can but the good ol days are over...

I'm glad to see you're on the same page too. Maybe you can teach the community about chassis reinforcement with your build. I think the two of us can agree there are A LOT of people just following the trends...

Props on the videos and build. I'm a fan.

Haha. How long did that take ya?? Lmao. Thanks!
That guy was hilarious. Lol.

Nah. Couldn't swap a rack and pinion into it because of the solid axle. If I were to convert it to the IFS off of something like a S13 or S14 240 and use aftermarket links..... Whoops. I'm dreaming again. Lmao
I know... I was watching the whole thing in Atlanta as it went down. So sad.
I met Andy once at iirc Freedom Moves... IT WAS AWESOME!!!!

These are BMW e36 ///M3 side skirts (Yes. They're cheapo clones. I would NEVER cut up real ones. Lol)

Here's some pics from when I was installing the driver's side (still gotta install passenger side)

Im staying tuned, this looks like its gonna be awesome, what is that supercharger kit, and would it fit under a cowl hood?

Here's a TON of info on the kit. Clicky for info

And here's http://www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-Jeep-4-0-97-01-Cherokee-XJ-or-Wrangler-TJ-Eaton-M62-Supercharger-KIT-5-6-PSI-/331052461115?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d1443ac3b&vxp=mtr
It probably won't fit under a typical XJ cowl hood, but it might be close... Idk. Haven't seen it tried yet nor have I tried it myself. Lol

Have you had anyone install one on a 4.6 stroker? Im building a 4.6 and i think this on it eventually would be badass.

I love the "hopes and dreams" under the frunk lid of that MR2

This build is awesome, subbed.

This truck is ****ing ridiculous. A+, beats another 3" lifter (aka mine)

Looks good, nice and clean.
I was wondering if you thought about doing a wj knuckle swap, for the brakes, since it's 2wd wouldn't need to worry about as much.
Then i would run an upgraded "1 ton" steering kit UTK.
Just my thoughts, seems like go fast should stop fast also.

Not that I know of.. You could do it, but you'd probably only see 3-4psi. But you'd definitely notice the power gain from that.
Haha! That's my buddies MR2. By the end of the day, I ended up being only half a second slower than his fastest counted time. Pretty sure I could've picked up some more time if I had more seat time in racejeep... Lol
Thanks! This build is definitely... different... Lol. But I'm having fun with it.
I already have the Brakemotive drilled/slotted rotors. The front stops pretty well, just gotta get the rear brakes better (disc brake conversion). If anything, I'll probably look into putting Mustang Cobra rotors and calipers on at some point in the future.

I have the Rugged Ridge HD UTK steering kit on my other Cherokee and it is complete BEEF. The only thing is that IDK how it would work on a lowered XJ. Plus IDK if it would clear everything and not bind up... The stock linkage should be fine. If I bend that, then.... dayum. Lol.

Once you have the wj knuckles the brake options open up.

Im not joking, hit me up when you are ready to sell...

bpas328xi

Haha! Now THAT is the best compliment I've ever gotten on racejeep. Thanks dude!

Whatever he is willing to pay add $200

I was skeptical at first, but as I continued to read through the thread, it got better and better! Still not what I would do with a Jeep, but well done!
