98XJ: Project Salsa

[bandit455]

what about h1's and running drive slugs instead of warn hubs

that way its not really a big deal if they get scraped up a bit

 

[MoparManiac]

I saw a kid with some on his CJ-5. worked well. Basically a big piece of DOM slid over the hub, with three flange that grabbed 3 nuts that threaded on the rest of the lug stud.

[billyjp2]

Is that first pic of Indepedence trail in colorado? It sure does look like it.

yup. or dark grey.

it really aint that bad when i look at it. i was aiming for sam's width on this truck, the fullwidths with H2s look pretty close to that.

i'm calling rockkrawler tomorrow to price out suspension as well as confirm specs for mounting lower arm mounts, gonna call clayton as well to see how much a price is on their 4 link (not y-link) as well.

 

[MoparManiac]

Sounds sweet dude. I loved my XJ on D44s with 35s

 

[ctxjlimited]

oh man. This should be sweet. :windows:

I thought you were going with a Jeepspeed build?

 

[ktm racer 419]

who says 3/4 ton axles and 35's cant go fast? did i miss something?

"Jeepspeed" is a class of vehicle governed by a set of rules and limiting factors

 

[Supermanxj]

Plans are the rockkrawler 4-link and 35s, a beefier than a D30 front axle, full unibody bracing and a hybrid cage. i want this to be a very capable but very streetable truck that can drive a long distance at a moment's notice, wheel & camp, then drive home w/o an issue.

That doesn't sound like a JeepSpeed rig to me... Sounds like an all around wheeler.

That cage in whatevah vehicle that is looks nicey nice. Are you going to have some dimples in some metal???

Where did ya get the axles????

UPDATES plz. When are plans for it to be done. I think I read it somewhere in the Lots-o-post thread but if I start lookinig for it I might grow a beard.

I didnt mean it as it isnt possible. but usually when you think of jeepspeed (or a jeep set up for jeepspeed), you dont think of a 44 and a 60. you can certainly go as fast as you want. Its just not the Jeepspeed setup he was always talking about thats all.
