Dont waste your time xj rear sway bars are useless. Thats why 99% of lifts out there for xjs say thats the first thing removed and not reused. You will not notice a difference unless your drifting with your xj. I remove all mine stock before lifting.

Machined the production prottype Throttle Body Spacer.
Just need to make the throttle cable bracket spacers and get hardware. And the gaskets.

For all those that were holding thier breath for these.
Exhale. You're turning blue.

HSP's TB Spacers will be available very soon.

FYI: These are already bored out to 62mm

I will not be needing a guinea pig. Sorry everyone.
I, personally, will be testing this one out.
They will in no way be close to the ridiculous price of the "other" TB spacers.
Like all my stuff...very reasonable and shipping included in price.

Sneak Peek:



Sorry for the grainy pic, camera doesn't like fluorescent light.

ALSO: Picked up wire for A-pillar lights, unsure yet on switch location.

That's what happened to me. Good luck drilling those bolts out. It's a b*tch!
