Long arms are officially ordered! I gave Andy over at Ironman4x4fab a call and got it all figured out today. Should have everything I need in a month or so then I just need all the Frobot fab brackets and I'll be set! The rears are JJs on both ends.

More progress is being made my wife is picking up all the Claytons subframe parts and skid from ECGS on friday for me. Ill be putting them on as soon as I can and selling my IRO belly skid to recoup some money to buy some of the smaller parts I need for the build. I also should have my long arms from Andy late aug or early sept then I'll be seeing if a BB and long arms works lol

Man, I have a 94 XJ and I absolutely love it, but your build thread (And the guy in my Subdivision who owns a 96 ZJ with a 6.5 inch lift and 35's) really makes me want to buy a ZJ.. if only I wasn't a poor college kid. Haha.

Anyway, like I said, I love your build thread, keep it coming, and props on all the work you've done. Some crazy stuff.

Well I have been doing a bit of parts gathering here lately to try and finish out my build.


I picked up all my long arms last week from Andy over at Ironman4x4Fab and they are sick. I'll be posting pics of them here shortly. Greg has been working on all my axle brackets for my upcoming axle swap so as soon as I get those all Ill need is shocks, front track bar, brake lines, and driveshafts.

The links are from http://www.ironman4x4fab.com/Products/AL.html

The fronts are 1.75 DOM directly threaded with 8"s of thread engagement the rear lowers are 1.75 directly threaded and sleeved with 2" .120 wall with Currie jonny joints on both ends the uppers are 1.75 directly threaded with currie JJs and yes the trans mount is also from him. Amazing service and even better prices!!!
