I left my prothane bumps like that for a while until I snapped a stub shaft from the tire binding on the hump above the spring.

Let my buddy drove mine to a camp site off of eagle lakes rd. I arrived the next day to find all my spare shafts in the dirt and two speared prothanes. He told me he pulled a trail blazer off a rock using the grill guard hoop on my bumper. He didn't know how to use the D-rings that wee on the bumper. Good thing he didn't get the awd Honda CR-V.

I will revive this with a lengthy post once I finally get internet set up again at the new house :thumbup:

Baby due in 4 weeks and I think I took my final trip this last weekend. Lots to come this winter/fall but mostly things to integrate a better camping situation and I suppose I need to figure out this car seat thing

 

[blondejoncherokee]

Haha. I plan to wheel into late november at least i pray to the jeep gods for weather to allow it. Congrats on the baby?

Won these mounts 4-5 years ago at a sierrafest!

Doing away with my long tube headers. Installing a whole brand new exhaust with a JBA header

Accidentally knicked the oil pan haha

Who are you guys using to host images?
This site needs that at the least by now lol

 

[831_xj]

hey guys haven't touched my pos since Sierra fest lol
Moved again have a nice big driveway and some garage space. Been fishing and wasting money on the boat all winter

Going to be installing the trans mount I was gifted at SF 2020 soon

Thinking of building tons. I need motivation on this thing again and I broke the 44 pretty often :clap:

 

[Nates2000XJ]

Shieeeet lets at least get some trips in with the Chief and the Pearl while they're all on 44s and 37s lol

 

[blondejoncherokee]

dude why build tons, just slap some RCVs in there?

Because then it will just be ring and pinion.

 

[831_xj]

Plus I really want to build something and not do maintenance work. Kinda boring

Ideally I’d like to build something else but I think if I build some tons I’d keep busy for a while.
Like to link the rear build a fuel cell etc etc

 

[Goose_XJ88]

Just make sure you do your axle swap like Nate and have everything ready to swap in vs having a hover jeep for a few years. lol

Gordo how has your 44s been holding up to 37s?

Still solid. I popped a ujoint last season. So two years of abuse and that was the only failure. I fixed it over night with a spare ujoint and its been rolling on ever since. I have had to change out the unit bearings once. The ball joints that were in the housing when i got it are still solid.

:rof:Argon is refilled :thumbup: looking for a 60/14 60/10.5
If I can’t find any geared I hanve a good deal on a set of stockers

Been driving it around town a bunch :rof:

 

[blondejoncherokee]

I know it's a haul.....Reno Auto Wrecking apparently has super duty axles for around $1,300.

I agree with you on doing a one ton swap over RCVs. You're moving the weak point vs upgrading everything at once.
