The 140 replaced the 135. I used a 135 to build my XJ. From my control arms to bumpers, and crossmember. Its heavy enough do do just about anything if you have the juice going to it. I just picked up a used L-tec mig on ebay it runs on 110 and 220. So I have the best of both worlds now.

Climbing a hill wet with rocks. And just a few bounces of the front end with a bad tranny mount and too long of a spare front driveshaft. Im thinking that what caused it. When it first happend I thought it was an axles shaft. Till i started backing down the hill and seen the fluid in the creek...

Mines cracked too. Hate when this happens!!!

If I had a transfercase. I would join ya for some wheelin. Mark

Yeah this is where I got the idea. And yes its 1/4 plate bent.

Its a reworked stock arm. I cut the stock arm off about 8" or 9" from the wedges. Boxed it in and then sleeved it with 2x2x1/4 square tubing. Heres a pics of the steering. I sleeved part of the ford tie rod and part of the XJ tie rod with 1" id sch 40.

Hey any of your stockers looking to wheel. IF you goto 4wd.com in the meet and greet section one of my club members (RALPHXJ)is planning a stocker run in wellsville Nov 5. Just thought I would give ya a heads up. I havent driven my jeep since I sold my rear bumper. I havent fabbed a new one yet.

95 D44 locked extened raduis arms, 9" rear locked . Rhino lined interior 8" lift 35's soon to be on 38's. TJ flares.

I had the same problem with mine. I didnt lose any steering radius from stock. So I just extended the steering stops. I found out the hard way that it needed done, when I stripped all the bolts out of the box.
