Can you copy it for cheaper?

Maybe, you could use two female heim joints and all thread with some lock nuts, but you'd have to figure out how to make a new shift tab for on the t case. I think you could grab one from a dodge Dakota np231, they stick up on those. But these aren't heim joints, they're like little tie rod ends almost. Plus you get that shift tab. I figured for $40 I'd probably spend at least an hour running around town burning gas and gathering parts, making that shift tab, and adjusting to make it work right. So I think it was worth it. Plus it got here in two days

So how much was that kit?
I can't seem to find it on prime 4x4

 

[bmikes]

Just look them up as boostwerks engineering. It was $37.98 with free two day shipping

 

[AwesomeXJ]

Lol, idk why i thought you said prime hahaha.

 

[bmikes]

Haha couldn't tell ya. Here's a link to the DIY route

Although currently the boostwerks is only for auto's. I forgot you had a 5 speed.

Whats the diff?

 

[Bronzewyrm]

for $40, id just buy it. is your tc clocked now or what?

Whats the diff?

The manuals will require an additional shift lever extension tab, and a shorter linkage rod. We are currently working out the details on a specific manual kit but should have them available soon!

Thanks for the write up bmikes! :worship:

Like a tj?

No -_- I went to drill my transmission the other day and found out the ring I had isn't a clocking jig for a 231. It's a clocking RING for a wj.

The good part is, even though I've had that since last august IRO didn't even hesitate to send me the correct aw4/231 clocking jig. That'll be here next week, and then I'll click my tcase and adjust that linkage.

At the same time I'll redo my exhaust and make a custom exhaust hanger because I'm getting this!

Goodbye coffee can factory cat!

Oh and just for fun
Gotta rep an XJ shirt!

Lol I told you they were crazy fast shipping! Looks good, I need to get mine installed!

I need to replace my cat/muffler too, but especially my cat. Let me know what you think of it, and if you don't mind me asking what did it set you back?

 

[bmikes]

It was $62 off amazon, I'm hoping it works out good. And yea you weren't Lyin! Haha

 

[Jbh97009]

That's not bad! I was gonna get the IRO exhaust, but I don't really need the whole tailpipe so it would be cheaper to buy a cat like that one and a muffler. I can weld it up myself so that's not a big deal.... Like I said let me know what you think!

Started my winch bumper today

I cut the tube down so it doesn't go back that far towards the rear as you can see in the next picture

 

[stang65]

good progress

 

[rabitz]

looking good!

 

[Demonoid369]

You should totally help me make a bumper like that lol I've wanted to make a tube bumper over the more bulkier ones.

 

[bmikes]

Thanks guys. And yea demonoid maybe we could work something out.

Got some more works one in the last few days. Jbh97009 came over tonight and chilled and helped me out, thanks man.

Anddddddddd I'm teaching Ashland how to weld! She did really good for her first time
