I just weighed my Jeep in the other day completely empty. 3500lbs. I'm sure my trail weight was lighter considering I was running doorless.
holy crap, i never noticed how big that red jeep is until i saw it next to yours.
Thanks, Gordon. Definitely let me know if you head up this way. Spring wheeling definitely requires a bit of the "smasho" wheeling style up here.Sup Dustin. Good meeting you at SF. Just read through your whole build man. Nice work. Definitely got some wheels turning for some projects on the vanilla gorilla. I think Ill be taking a holiday up north in early spring. Ill hit you up for some wheeling if I bring the heep
Jealous. My old 88' was just under 4000 in trail trim, and climbed like a goat. I'm scared what the Nail Salon is going to top out at as I keep adding more junk to it.I just weighed my Jeep in the other day completely empty. 3500lbs.

Personally, I'd rather wheel than work on my junk,
Wow...I thought we were talking Jeeps. But thanks for the new sig line! :roflmao:
Selling my axles. My Jeep is tired and I'm ready to move on to a DD/weekend warrior build. There's no need for such strength in the new plan, so I'm selling.
Both are bolt-in for any year XJ.
Front is a narrowed 79 F150 Dana 44 axle to factory XJ width. 5.13 gears with ARB air locker with ARB heavy duty air line, Warn alloy shafts, Spicer u joints, full circle clips, full float hubs and Ford disk brakes. Warn premium hubs and differential skid. Steering linkage is crossover from Parts Mike, passenger knuckle modified with high steer arm and drag link. Comes with spare Spicer shaft assemblies, inner and outer. Also have TeraFlex sway bar mounts I'll throw in. No leaks in this setup. This is a high pinion axle, so front driveshaft angle is near flat. Front brake rotors and pads are a month old. Axle is ready to bolt in. 5x5.5 pattern.
Rear is factory width Tera 60 with 35 spline ARB air locker, ARB heavy duty air line and 5.13 gears. Shafts are 35 spline alloy. No spare shafts because they simply aren't needed. Ford disk brake setup with parking brake and cables. Comes with TeraFlex cast differential cover. Ground clearance is very good with this modified Dana 60 center section. Also a high pinion axle, so rear driveline isn't even visible from the side of the Jeep. 5x5.5 pattern.
These axles are nice and heavy and withstood years of 37" tires. They could probably use some new bearings and seals as part of regular maintenance, but there are no issues to speak of. Center of gravity is sweet with them under the rig. I feel like I can be completely sideways and not flop over.
