No kidding, definately didn't know that, thanks for all the compiments, I've got a ton of work tied up in this. Working out the rear steer now, gotta stretch it another 3" and get the spool valve and it will be ready

Is your fuel tank ratchet strapped down?

 

[(o)(o)XJ]

Yup, it sure is, and it's solid, hasn't moved an inch, even during the flops

 

[(o)(o)XJ]

If it eases your mind any it is now strapped under a stand that holds the cooler and ammo boxes full of spares and tools

There's that bungee cord too.

Nice rig. Looks fun as hell.

Jeep still works great though I can break the suckdown cable on demand.

When I had mine set up like that, I ended up respooling it with 5/16 cable. You have to drill out the little spot on the drum for the cable to fit through, and then I put a little blob of weld on the end of the cable to keep it from pulling back out.

Worked great until the drum cracked in half.

Another one here that has followed your build on Pirate. Thing is a freakin beast. It must be pretty damn stable being that wide.

How did the doubler instal go? Did you have to clock the 231? Are you running the 300 flipped? Did you need to clearance the floor pan? How is the 231 shifted?

This is one of my dream toys:

They gotta be getting phased out soon. The cheapest I found one was $11k.

I've been watching government liquidation but haven't seen one yet.

QUOTE] on on ebay right now, $22.5K, no doubt bought at auction and marked up.

Bad ass XJ, BTW.

231 is flipped exactly 180 degrees, 3 hundy is flipped and completely flat. Entire combo sits up higher than stock. 300 is twin sticked with northwestfab.com cable shifters. With 231 flipped the shifter points up and I made a shifter and welded the stock shifter handle to it. You only need to hit 4l-N-4h so there is no need to make the shifter go all the way to the 2wd position. Yes I cut holes in the floor but it is as flat and as high as you could get the combo and I don't care about cutting it. Any other questions guys just ask, I went though major headaches makin this thing and am more than willing to save y'all some grief.

And the 231 shifter

Once the 231 was flipped did it bolt right up to the trans? Thanks for answering my 100 questions lol. I love this build!!!

 

[xj+rcks]

This thing is awesome!!! Why did I bother with Waggys?

Nope, unfortunately two holes must be opened up a little for It to fit.

Any more pictures? One of the sickest builds I've seen.
