thanks. It's hard. Nothing goes my way!

 

everything looking really good, i posted a year ago when ur shock mounts broke lol. great progress since then, love the the front, basically I want mine all black one day

i know a bit about things not going how you want them... its all a learning process though, and money.

 

it's definitely a learning process. I like it, this way, if i'm ever regearing anything else, I'll know what I'm getting into. =D lol

 

Well, I haven't posted up yet, But the Jeep is up and running, have some minor adjusting to do, but I'll bring everyone who's watching back up to speed. The 4.56's are a thicker ring gear, and I decided to shave the cross pin, Of course, I did it on the wrong side and the c-clips would fall out, (FML) and had to order another. this time I shaved the ring gear, just enough to barely slide it by. But these 4.56's on 33's are FANTASTIC. no more half pedal to get up to speed. (45) more like 1/8 pedal now.

 

oh and that's my Fiancee doing U-joints for me.

 

Congrats? Last I remember she was your gf.

I seen you the other day over by American pawn. It looks good sitting on 33's.

You know who drives a white XJ? Not the guy from Tuffy's either. I seen his on Craigslist a while back. This one had about 4.5" lift, 33's, roof rack, kinda beat up.

 

thanks! And I don't know, I know where there's a limited sorta like mine, sitting in someone's driveway, it looks like 4.5 inch lift on 31's and a dark blue one out here on some look to be 35's. That day I was at American Pawn, I came out and started talking to a guy named Jared Hurtel who has a red xj on 35's, only 3.07's though. lol. I've been wondering if I've seen your jeep around, but I don't know what it looks like good enough to know. I saw a white xj with a little lift and tires on stock wheels, is that the one? By the way, 4.56's on 33's, rides phenominal. =D

 

Did you measure your backlash and gear contact patterns?

 

wait...do what? lol. kidding. yessir, got the front perfect on the first try. and the rear, needs some minor adjusting as well as I think I might have wrecked the outer pinion bearing. =/ but that's life. and it's my first time doing regearing.

 

Was just curious lol wasn't mentioned.

 

I've noticed a bunch of lifted xj's around lately. I haven't driven mine since last June. I'm going to fire it up after work tonight and break in the new engine. I'll be out and about hopefully by Wednesday.

 

sick. =D The more the merrier. anyone else got some good gear combos?

 

here we go. =D got some pictures of the flex. I love flexing out. and I got some 31's on Emily's ZJ. people said it couldn't be done. Hah. Lies. It only rubs if the front is dipped down and your turned all the way left, and in reverse.

 

some more.

 

Sweet Build man! I love that its a budget build! I am going to just about do the same, scouring CL and the JY's for parts.....Not off to a bad start, picked up a short-arm 3" Rusty's the other day for 300. how are you liking that spartan locker? take it wheelin' yet?
