I am new to the forum and o the jeep world. And since 2005 I have wanted an xj.
The time has come and I have finally got her
As of now I have a 4.5 rustys short arm kit coming with upgraded upper and lower control arms to forged adjustable Johnny joints,
Upgraded monotube steering stabilizer as well as stainless brake lines and transfer case drop bushings and rear leaf wedges. This kit came with a spring pack and am looking forward to installing it this upcoming weekend I also purchased the hd tie rod and am planning for 15 x 8.5 trail masters wrapped in either general grabbers, or cooper discoverer ssts. Havnt decided yet
I just did the drivers side axle u joint and still have to do the pass side, along with wheel bearings and ball joints all the way around.
Then I am having Tim abner do my rock sliders, bumpers and tuck and fold read quarter. I am planning to cut my fenders myself, but as for anything that needs welded Tim is going to do all the leg work. I will also have Tim blast out my unibody stiffeners as well as skid plates to protect the under carriage
Also in the works is a slip yoke eliminator then removing the transfer case drop bushings and a rear disk conversion
I am going to try and get all of the above mentioned modifications in the next couple of weeks to a month, but after this summer of wheeling I am planning on Dana 44s. Hopefully I can keep pictures updated as the process goes
