i am digging your roofrack man! cant wait to see it with the tires

 

thanks! cost me about $100 in material and 30+ hours of labor. designed it off one i saw online that went for $1400 so i think i came out alot better! yeah those tires have been a long time in the making!!!

 

BAM!!!!!!

 

she`s lookin like a mean sob can`t wait to start building on my Grand Cherokee but it`s got a damn miss that i can`t figure out and btw we got the same rims except you ain`t got no center caps

 

Thanks! Yeah I only paid $15 a rim at pullapart but the dealership wants $45 a piece for the center caps so I said screw that. Found some on eBay but scared to order the wrong ones.

 

thats an awesome build man. looks really good. im in the process of building a 91 2dr xj. havent gotten very far. im waiting for my new transfer case to get here. its going to be a slow process. but nicely done on yours.

 

well they don`t got the jeep logo but they`ll do those are gc rims btw i got the same ones http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...d=150503907343

 

now we must wheel my friend. and by the way i have yalls tags from jeep jaunt. didnt win anything tho. u was one number off from winning that 8000 lbs warn whinch.. bummer

 

Enjoyed reading your build, sweet ride. I have a few questions, did you have to get longer lower control arms? what about the track bar?

 

dam that sucks!!! you know you wouldn't've told me i won it! lol! and yes we must wheel soon!!!

 

thanks! no, they still the original control arms. i really need to replace them as they are at a terrible angle. the lower arms are like 1/4 inch from hitting the axle mounting brackets. as far as the track bar, i just redrilled the hole on the axle side and it's fine. no bump steer or anything. i used an 1 1/2 inch trans member drop and also have to vibrations there at any speed either. i know it's not the best set up but i just wanted to get it up in the air. will start upgrading eventually

 

Awsome build man just sat here an went threw all 20 pages.. im curious about the contol arms an ur trac bar think you could put some pictures up? an did you have to get a new pitman arm?

 

Not a problem. I can probably have the pics up Wednesday. The pitman are is still stock. Didn't mess with any of the arms or steering. Just got it aligned after. I lucked out with having no vibration issues. From what I hear every XJ is different. You might lift it 3.5"s and have vibes. I went 5.5"s with a 1.5" t-case drop and have NO vibes. Just the luck of the draw I guess

 

Where did you get the lowering shackles from?? Any part #??

 

my dad had them on his silverado. you can get them from o'reilly for pretty cheep. i trashed the box a long time ago. just call o'reilly and tell them you want lowering shackles for like a 2000 chevy silverado. minor mods are needed depending on what height you wanna go. also the "frame side" of the shackle needs to be trimmed a little as the sleeve and bushing are too wide.
