Hey everbody... Haven't posted since 2009....unfortunately the kid was driving the xj downtown Colorado springs and somebody stole it. Pics are with doors off but it has doors on it now (slightly diff color than stock red color)... telltale signs: old 35 retreads from south dakota...

rear drive shaft fit ax15, 231 tcase, 8.8 rear and about 5" lift (I put in a sye, so this is not needed). 35" hi tech with good tread, they sent me another because this one didnt balance very well (I still drove on it about 6 months, so it must not have been too terrible)............ $ 12.50...

keep up the good work.....I like the idea for the buper...I have some 2by5" and some 1/4" plate that I am going to do somthing similar with.

looks good frank! dbswede

thanks for the info, any more suggestions out there?

I know some of you guys spend time on other boards...could some of you guide me to some links on rear bumper builds for tj's...specifically the way they mount to the frame as the stock mounting points look pretty weak. Thanks dbswede

hopefully your wife wont use it on u..........I have full respect for a persons right to bear arms (but i dont think its for everybody).

I need a alternator for a 93 xj...i want to grab a used one until I can find a high output online. thanks

I also think that tall tails are coming into play with mileage above 17 ish

4.88's but remember 35's are a harsh ride...Its been a long time since this jeep rode like car...........gearing wise its good with a man 5 speed.

I like the idea... I always use a 1/2 breaker and a big ass cheater...this would work good on the trail. welds look good to me!

I thought 175 was how tight you could get it with a half inch breaker and a big ass cheater bar...I am still running stock hub bearings. db

try to remember these days because when your 40 somthing this is what you will look back on (and dont get a dui).

frank............ I'm glad that you have the " fluke" probs...maybe i wont get them or you can help me when they occur....you are the xj doctor! dbswede

how are you going to weld the nuts inside of the tube?...
