I might have bought them in the firstplace if id known about them. Im looking forward to not changing the headlights again.

Plus ill recoup some $$ when i sell the Hellas and putco harness

still cant get eyes on exactly where its leaking from but my guess is a crack in the resivior or my npt elbow. wj pump will go on when i have time untill then ill be stocking up on fluid..

I love your XJ man. I am starting to do research for a lift now, and seeing the pictures of your's is swaying me towards 4.5 instead of 3 inches. Awesome build!

Im sitting at about 5.5"-5". I kinda dont like it cause it makes the tires look to small to me :P

cleenrob

got a set of 4.56 axles lined up

trucklites are installed these things are AWESOME i wish ii had bought these from the start when i had the green jeep. low beams are great, high beams are spectacular and pull a max of like 4 amps. i will eventually swap every bulb in this jeep to LED, when ever i decide i want to deal with and electronic flasher.

also pulled the tnt cross member and re installed the stock one with a few tweeks to keep the exhaust from hitting it. i really hate that thing, the protection is great but it makes servicing anything a royal PITA. you cant access the front drive shaft/t-case linkage/ or the drain plug for the trans(unless you want to coat the whole thing in ATF

its getting sold soon and ill either buy RK 3 link/serious off road/ clayton arms leaning hard towards clayton so i can have the 3 piece cross member.

i also pulled the light bar, i never use it and it just got in my way when i was tinkering under the hood

swapped in the wj pump today, what a hell of an upgrade! either that or my old pump was just garbage. i also pulled the swing out portion of the tail bone off and cleened out the back seat

no more leak PS and it turns the the ever so slightest effort

gonna order new bushings for the track bar an b.lees off road 3 link soon

cleenrob

trac bar bushing ordered, the frame side bushing showed a lot of movement i finaly found the source of my clunk!!!

the rear knocking i was having was the tail bones falt.

cleenrob

plans for the near-ish future(next few months):

-new frame side track bar bushing( source of the front end clunk ive had forever)
-trans cooler and fluid change
-trans temp gauge
-shifter linkage
-b.lees off road 3 link(will order soon)
-wj steering swap(still need a couple things)
-front-mid stiffners

looking hard for an mj right now, i want on in conjunction with my xj itll make a great dd when the xj gets its 5.3 i might pick up an s10 or a chevy tho, depends on what i find

installed the exlplorer trans cooler. seems to work good. was hot almost immediately after i fired it up. i put it on the aux fan side so the hot side with the most air flowing over it its clear


still waiting on the trac bar bushing. hopefully i can get that done monday

took a 100 mile drive the other day cause i was bored and have had some bad vibes ever since, i swapped out the rear drive shaft for a JY one i picked up when i was going to do the hack n tap but it didnt really do any thing. im hoping its just the trashed TB bushing.

i also cleened the battery posts since the + had a lot of build up and i replaced the terminal since i had one handy and it was quicker than cleening the old one.

and i was on the roof retrieving a volley ball so i took a pic of the jeep from up there cause i can

cleenrob

ordered b.lees offroad 3 link!

cleenrob

been super busy latley with work so i havent had much time to update:

first off i got the trac bar bushing changed out. no more ugly clunk then i replace the fuse for my locks/interieor lights/ radio cause it blew

ordered jks's wj swap steering and jamb nuts, i was going to cut down the stock linkage i have laying around but i figured id buy the pre done stofe off amazon to help build my credit...and im being lazy.lol but in all seriousness im not sure if i trust my hobart to weld the linkage strong enough and i dont have accsess to a big bad *** one


and the juicy stuff:

got my 3 link installed today

the lowers are a bit to long causing me noot to be able to get my pinion angle right. i get a nasy vibe at 55 now but most my other vibes have dulled out. not completly gone tho. i expect doing the wj swap will weed out the bad seed since ill be replacing just about every thing on this axle when i do it including the u-joints and axle seals(pinion seal not included)

HS00XJ

no pics of the kit ?

cleenrob

the one i do have wont load ill try to snap some today

cleenrob

heres a pic before installii didnt take many pics cause i was flustered and hot most of the time

and a pic of the TB bushing
