1 Ton Blue XJ

[CAJJ93XJ]

WFO wanted like $350 to do it uke:

I'd take it to a machine shop if you can find one that will do it for a decent price.

I think this is the guy on pirate if you want to try the jig

Obtain an 8x170 to 8x6.5 spacer-adapter.

Knock out the studs, bolt it to the hub, transfer punch through holes.

???

Profit

No, like a 1.5"-2" spacer-adapter with tapers for the lug nuts on the 8x170 studs and lug studs for 8x6.5 wheels.

Also you would need to do research on which lug studs you want to run and what size you would need to drill to accommodate.

My 14 bolt has 9/16x18 Studs so I'd want to match so i can interchange lug nuts...

Its hard searching for builds on the super duty 60s since they are so new.. and everyone seems to call them something different..

 

[in4aride]

Look on pirate. A handful on there.

 

[BlueRockRash]

Picked up hydro assist from Blondejon

Stock xj box tapped

2 lines one spare...

The ram is 1.5x8 with newish heims

 

[in4aride]

Yeahhhh buddy. I need to get my box tapped and set up. Where do you plan on mounting?

 

[blondejoncherokee]

Nice!

 

[BlueRockRash]

Had to dust the cob webs off the Super Duty D60

Started cutting off the ears or radius arm mounts.. Freaking thick...

Track bar ball joint?

Thing was thick

Weight Reduction

Lots of Cutt off attachments

Slowly chugging along

Calling it a night

Before

After

 

[in4aride]

At least the worst part is over. And by worst. I mean cleaning that housing is one of the most never ending things. Everything was massive and tight together.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

Looking forward to seeing it trussed and under the rig

I still have a days worth of cutting on the drivers side to get the cast off. I am borrowing a porto-band from my dad to get some clean cuts

is this truss setup a XJ/TJ/ZJ setup to make the coils /facotry upper link mounts work, or just a super duty truss for general builds ?

 

[GordoSmasho]

Plasma. A worthy investment in situations like this. That looks like a ton of work. I look forward to seeing what you do for a truss.

-Swap requires Flex joints on both sides of the control arms to allow for the wider mount positions

-Upper Control Arm mounts will sit about 1 inch� above factory location

-Coil Buckets will sit 5/8"� out from factory location, so some coil bend may be experienced

-Not compatible with Radius Arm or Wristed Y-Link Suspensions

This is the info i got from artec

I was selected by artec for their beta testing program for the TJ/XJ Super duty truss swap kit they are going to be selling soon.
