very purdy xj

 

Bumper all done

 

Really nothing but solid reviews for them. Most likely what I'll end up going with

Thanks, bout to get a whole lot purdier

 

Fresh Rubicon Express leafs and coils to drop it down to 4.5"

 

Where'd those come from?

 

You know I'll be following this thread!

 

Big box at my doorstep with my now favorite piece of the puzzle. Pics coming soon

Yeah buddy! Still undecided on the rear stretch. Really need to get my new flares in before I can really decide

 

You might as well if you were already planning on replacing the rear driveshaft. Otherwise it can wait.

I liked that it re-centered my axle back towards the rear after lifting 6.5+ inches. Because you dropped back down to 4.5" again, it's probably not as necessary.

 

Already have had a custom rear driveshaft for a while, but I have no problem getting another if needed and can pass this one to a friend. I'm going with Notch Customs flares and want to see where the tire sits at this height between the flares before making the decision. Now if only the flares would show up... been waiting for a good while now....

 

i dig the notch customs flares a lot, i wish i had gone that route instead of the naipier flares, but i dig both anyways

 

I definitely still love the Napier flares, but since I've decided this is going to be my DD build that I keep forever, I am going to go ahead and spend the extra to get everything exactly as I want. Notch is definitely on the pricier end and not to mention if you want to color match them. They just recently finished their new molds so I am hoping they get here very soon so I can measure for a set of Bilsteins

 

whooop need pics since I am living vicariously through you since I won't be home for another month to install mine.

 

Deployed? I'll get some pics up after my morning duties. Hoping for install along with frame stiffeners this weekend.

 

As promised, some photos of the new Cavfab 3 link and my initial thoughts. First off, pics do not do this thing justice. I can be overly critical and I'll say that I was expecting a lot when I ordered this kit since I was replacing my perfectly fine Rubicon Express long arms. That said, as far as build quality and craftsmanship go, this kit has far exceeded my expectations. Everything about it is pure BEEF. The Currie joints, the links, crossmember, everything. After seeing this I can't wait to see what else Cavfab offers in the future. Obviously these are just initial impressions, but build quality wise, anyone who bought this at the pre-order price got a steal. Even at the regular price it is a hell of a deal. I'll give some more thoughts after the install, but unboxing this has already made my day.

 

yup i defiantly would have bought this kit over b.lee if it had been available at the time
