some pics of testing, next up is an axle upgrade: alloy shafts, gears, and some sort of locker

 

some fender trimming too

 

sweet ride man diggin the look you got there....

 

She looks great. I dont think my back would appreciate riding with you down a gravel road though

i see your thinking about long arms, but you might want to address your rear shackle angle also

 

yeah, i wanted to acheive max height with the shackles, to keep from trimming too much, but after seeing the limit to my down travel, i'm considering adjusting the rear shackles shorter...just don't want to put blocks in.....guess i gotta bring out that grinder for the wells...

 

I think that jeeps looks great in the pics on the 35's. How are those adjustable shackles on the trails ? Do they allow the rear wheels to drop down in a hole ? Or are they a fixed adjustable where you set the height and ride ? Love your project.........

 

EDIT* fixed adjustable

havent had a chance to test it out on the good trails yet (was sping creek offroad park, but i recently heard they closed down), but just went to the local field to see what i could find, had the front sway bars connected to see how much the back flexed, still had more to go....but nowhere to go lol

 

Clean and yet nasty I love it.

 

very nice glad to see you wheel it

 

gotta build it for a reason .... can't say i've used it fully yet, waitin for an axle swap in the rear, thinkin bout the ford 8.8 swap

 

that made me drool i miss my cherokee so much...

 

holy tall xj!!! way way to talk IMO but looks good none the less nice work. not sure what to think on the rear shackles but if they work then sweet.

 

shackles haven't had an issue yet, haven't lifted a tire, but haven't tried to hard (not any places i can flex at around here besides a truck loading dock......hrmmm, i think i'll disconnect the sways this weekend and see what it can do...may need to trim some fender first)

 

so sick, nice work

 

Great work man! looks sweet!
