if so id really like to see picks, get tips, or just know what you think about it

 

X1994J did i know here is his build thread

https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/pr...27850/index10/

 

this is more of a high school and noob type forum, lots of cool people and great info but check out pirate 4x4 for "hardcore" type stuff like that. 3/4 of the xjs on p4x4 are linked.
there are a few on here like the one posted earlier that are done nice but if you want an abundance of info check out p4x4

 

ive creeped over there most of the night. just easier to ask opinions on here with out getting bashed

 

yeah you have to have thick skin and watch what you say there.

theres a few threads on this site that are helpful also. search it theres plenty around here too

 

Have you sorted through this page yet? http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=739066

 

yeah. ive been about to the end of pirate and back. yota forums have been a good source. pirates best so far. just wanted to know what people thought of them. im debating a buggy. cherokee based of course

 

I've been planning my rear 4-link build for a while now. I've already built one for my car ('67 GTX) and it turned out beautiful. My question for those rear linked xj owners is, what is a desirable anti-squat number for a street/trail rig that gets driven to work all the time?

I set my car up at about 110% and it works very well. It plants the tire hard and still drives pretty well on the street. I measured my neighbors chevy trail blazer, and with an estimation on center gravity height, it looks like it was about 88-90%. That is on a stock trail blazer. I know how to make it all work for a drag car, just not sure what works good on the trail. Any input?

 

the guys on pirate will say just under 100% a.s. but it depends on how you drive it,
one guy had 85% a.s. and hated it because it bounced too much when he would hammer on it going up a ledge so he made some changes and fixed it.
point is that its all in how you drive but 100 seems to be the happy medium but i dont see anyone going over that number


iv got the calculator and my numbers come out to 91%, keep an eye on my jeep build thread and when i link it ill let you know how it works in the real world

 

How did you calculate your COG? If that calc is off, it can really throw things off.

 

I came across a thread on NAXJA were the guys from TNT chimed in and shared theirs. I have yet to find it again. :thumbsdown:
