The Stupidist Jeep on the Planet

[Lowrange2]

Yeah, i didn't catch the 3rd one at first. I saw the springs on the 3rd one. I was about to say... 1" uptravel kinda sucks.

yep been there done that with the last jeep, lets just say the frt got alot of air time, looks like this one will have 3.5" of up travel

 

[Lowrange2]

I just want to see you bring that thing out here and wheel with us in the woods.

 

[MoparManiac]

You act like there are no woods up here :laugh:

 

[Lowrange2]

lol, I just assumed there wasn't. I thought trees were only indigenous to South Carolina...

 

[kastein]

the trees around here really like eating sheetmetal, mirrors, lights, and radiators.

Glass too

 

[kastein]

yeah I've been lucky there, trees have only wanted to cuddle with my glass so far. I could see my rear hatch glass flexing as it leaned against the tree last time I was out...

Blah blah blah, STFU



You have the longest build of any of us. Hasn't it been like 5 years or something since you wheeled this?

 

[kastein]

If he wants the BS out, it should stay out. I thought I recalled a post either here or the LoPT saying his build wasn't cool enough to be derailed.

went out tonight and cycled the suspention with 4 pucks on top of the 30 hub as bump stops averything will clear fine and ill have 4" of uptravel so im happy


check out my flex

everything will be fine

 

[XJLI]

ver nice, i like.

 

[MoparManiac]

Looks sick Rob! How much total travel will you have?

 

[MoparManiac]

Oh, and I'm assuming it clears at full bump both sides? Looks like it from the last pic.

 

[asp]

Looks sweet Rob :thumbup:

Have you considered what might happen when you come down on the front end really hard and overcompressed the little factory bump stop? It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks like it might be real tight if that happened.

What are you running for unibody stiffening?

What the hell is that...?

 

[Andy in Pa.]

Looks good Rob, but it will hit at some point. Although, the track bar hitting the axle at max flex isn't the end of the world. The track bar hitting the oil pan could be though... Flex it the other way and make sure your not that close to the oil pan.

Keep these tight clearances in mind when you jump it too... it will definitely hit then.:gee:

 

[5-Speed XJ]

Probably a dumb question but won't the pucks get jammed a half an inch in to the coil retainers on a hard hit then the track bar would hit harder?
