It's not what I'd do to a Jeep either... Lmao. But we kinda fell into a 2wd XJ and decided to run with it. Racejeep has definitely grown on me. I intend to keep it for quite a while and just continue to mod and race it as time progresses.

I'll probably have to see if I can get racejeep into one of the Friday night drift seshs they have at Englishtown.. I'm itching to burn that stack of stock rubber sitting in the garage to the belts.

Hell 5 psi on a 4.6 would be pretty slick, when time comes ill have to look into one of your kits, think a m90 would fair better with a stroker?

Yup. m90 is better for a stroker in the sense that there is more boost potential. You could easily run 10psi with an m90 on a 4.6. m62 wouldn't be able to make that much boost on a 4.6. Especially if it has a big valve ported head.

Unfortunately, there isn't a m90 kit yet.

Was having some misfire issues and running on 5 cylinders with racejeep... Seems like the sparkplugs were just a smidge too cold, so I just replaced them with what was in there before (Bosch Fusion). Shenanigans were had.

Suspension tuning and mild wheel hop is a work in progress.
Looking into a 'traction bar' running right along the driveshaft.

Ordered some brand new take off front rotors, calipers, and pads from Roush Performance that came off of a 2014 Ford Mustang GT. 13.2" diameter with two piston calipers.

Also... MY VANITY PLATE FINALLY ARRIVED!!!!!!!

Forgot to post these pics.... This is the general idea for a traction bar. Just need to get a 1/2" steel spacer made that hangs down below the pumpkin with a 1.5" hole in it for some DOM tubing.

I wouldn't make the traction bar too stiff, still need a little room for the suspension to move an inch.

OP you'll probably do better with a wishbone type bar that's single shear at the axle and a heim at the crossmember.
