Build Thread: 2.8L of Doom!

you can wheel a stock D30 hard on 35's if you aren't a moron.

of course the 2.8 doesn't exactly have axle snapping torque, so maybe you can get stupid with it.
 
I ran 34" LTBs on my 01, they were great at everything except on the road. Typical Swamper on-road.

Every station plays Swamper Song once you go Interco :D
 
Great, now I need to figure out if I'm cool enough for the 35" crowd... this wheeling stuff is complicated.

What ya going to do when we all move up to 38's :rof:

Do it...I would like to see how those LTB's do....they will rule the cliffs I bet......

Wow, I feel a little kooler after reading this. Thanks,
 
The 34 LTB is one of the best off road tires for an XJ, not too wide, not too skinny, just all around good performance besides the street but it's an Interco tire
 
My 35s cruised at 70 mph just fine. It was the roundest interco product I've ever owned.


Everything is always wet down here.... They ruled windrock
 
I loved my skinny swampers, but if you wheel in the rocks you're gonna tear fist sized lugs off the outside.

I'll be forced to buy Rockwells and step up to 54's. :D

Got the LTB's on order, now I just need to wait... maybe I'll even stick my 33's back on.

Got some more parts to go on. Swapped in a different 8.25 with 4.56 gears. I need to weld on my Artec truss and get the front axle in as well. Pretty soon I want to start on my 3.4L swap. Hoping... hoping... to have that done for WF.
 
Wow looks great.....lets get those tires dirty this weekend...We are putting a "shop trip" together for Saturday at the cliffs...you guys are always welcome...give me a call or come to the shop Thursday.......

Ram" the cliffs is going to be sloppy this weekend" Rod......
