Re: El Junky

I love that this turned into a how to wheel the piss out of an xj on 39s WITHOUT having to build it thread.

Re: El Junky

Haha I should change the title...

well now to your credit you didn't officially title it a "build thread", i think el junky is still quite fitting. And you're still making us all jealous with your wheeling to wrenching ratio.

 

[Alboy97XJ]

El Junky

Oh believe me I wrench on it... Just not tons of money...

 

[blondejoncherokee]

Re: El Junky

Mike,

very good call on the measure of wheel to wrench ratio. So many guys just wrench and hardly ever wheel their junk. I like that.

Re: El Junky

It's amazing how some axles seem to hold up well while others not so much. My rear dana 35 held up fine, geared 4.88 and lunch box locked on stock shafts and 14.5" wide, beadlocked pitbull 35's. My dana 30 would not stay together for crap. Broke 3 stock shafts, put in chromos, knuckle gussets, ballistic cover, etc and then blew up the ring and pinion. At that point I scored my hp44 for $150, swapped in the rear 60 I had laying around and didn't look back. I wish my 30 had held up half as well as yours.
