Re: Northwest Karma 2015 Pretty certain at this point My buddy'd just windup putting them in his garage and not doing anything... Hopefully someone else can actually use 'em...

Re: Northwest Karma 2015 maci> My best friend's painfully stock XJ is looking weaker and weaker by the moment He's still floundering on lifting his heep, a set of shocks would certainly give him a boot in the right direction. Where in Sea can I meet you and what kind of beer do you drink?

It should also be noted that manufacturer and other variances exist. I forget the make of my previous 32x11.5's, but Actual measurement (and most, really from what I've read) is more like 31.2"x11.0" I realized this after parking next to some 31's that were physically taller. *shrug* get the...

I'm working on getting my ducks in a row enough to make it to the meet n greet down in Gresham Sat night, before or after that perhaps?

I ran this setup 32's on a RE 3.5 superflex lift on my 93 for a couple years. No trimming, rubbed the splashguards a touch at full stuff when cranked over, but nothing bad enough to concern me. Backspacing will likely make a huge difference here. Stock gearing with my AW4 was adequate...

Oops, can't seem to edit, but it's D30, not 35..

'93 sport aw4 np231 d35/c8.25 open and stock for now Rubicon Express Superflex shortarm 3.5" Soft 8's w/ 33x12.5x15 duratracs (yes they rub, alot haven't even dared flexing. I've got some serious trimming to do, previous 32x12.5's cleared fine)

Usetacould.. seattleite now, though If I were over there, I'd be out wheeling WAY more often for sure.

So I just bought a lift kit from Phil, and then took it over to a friend's shop on the eastside of the state to work on it. got halfway into the lift, and realized that the warehouse guy had pulled the wrong shocks. front of an XJ will NOT fit toyota rear shocks. So what does he do? hops in his...

Haven't really looked too heavily into this, but this is all things that are at least theoretically very inline with the Computer case fan-modding range for electronics. I've actually used such components for cooling stereo amp racks before. Temperature-senstive switches, aux readouts, and...

Craziness in my work world, but I may head out that way sometime tomorrow simply to play around with my stocker and see what it can do. Might have a shift in finances have to decide how much I still need to put into the XJ... May or maynot come across you guys out there. ~Paul

I'm always more than happy to handle bitchwork I've played that role plenty in the past, though part of my XJ owning is opting to switch to a slower pastime after my motorcycle wreck a couple months ago broke my kneecap, so I'm a touch limited as far as strength-tasks for the moment...

I noticed that about the extras with the 4.5" lift, all things I would likely order anyways, was almost considering doing the 4.5 kit with shorter springs and no drop shackle, but who am I kidding, I'm sure I can make use of an extra inch. ;) Right now I'm working out picking up some lightly...

This is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking to hear. Thanks for the advice. What tires are you running with that setup? can you clear 33's? I guess I'm not entirely set that I need 33's, just seems that it's kinda minimum-ante' for some trails I've run with friends in the past. Or at least it...

Hmm, so I'm possibly doing alot of different things this weekend, but I might at least meet you guys in in the parking lot, and perhaps see if someone wouldn't mind letting me hop-in for a ride-along. My XJ's 2days worth of new to me and bonestock, I really wouldn't bother trying to take it...
