Sierra Chapter Rigs

[fyrfytr1717]

nice rig man. very clean. do you have lockers or something? cause if I flex out like that I spin tires like a mo-fo... I have to take a different line. I just ran that trail yesterday... it was all muddy, and slippery... made it fun:sunshine:

I do have a Trac-loc, but it's 20+ years old and has never been rebuilt so far as I know. It may help out a bit, but judging by the fact that you can see tread on the grounded tire and just a blur on the airborne tire, I'd have to say it's not helping me all that much. Lockers are definately in my plans for the (hopefully) near future.

As for the trail, it was fairly dry the day we did the Sierra Chapter Run. Regardless, there were still 3 or 4 places where I had to back up and either pick a different line or carry some momentum through to get me over the flexed out spots.

right on. I ran a limited slip rear until I blew n outer bearing... gotta love hollister man... that place is never the same.

 

[srmitchell]

I've been lacking on the pictures in here. I met a few of you at hollister, and of course blondjon and jimbo down at the wrecked 97 pull.

Stock. 2001 sport.

2 inch crap lift. 30's.

Now, 3.5 inch RE super flex, 31's, blah blah blah.

 

[srmitchell]

And the tire carrier off the wrecked 97. Thanks Jim.

Nice Jimbo- Looks a bit different than the last time I saw it. Your old drop brackets are goin' on in the next couple weeks...

Since I just can't contain my excitement I gotta post up my progress so far. It's not much but everyone's gotta start somewhere

Rear: S10 bastard pack (XJ main, S10 2nd, 3rd, overload)
Front: RE 3.5 coils and SF LCAs (THANKS TOMMYBOY)

Hopefully get enough $$$ for my b-day in 2 weeks for 33s, then bigtime trimming

 

[tayman]

haha they look so funny on stock tires... it'll look great with the 33's!

hey if you wanted to get rid of those wheels for like a 100 bucks i'll be glad to take em off ur hands for ya =D

 

[tayman]

why would you want stock wheels?

 

[MaxxXJ]

why would you want stock wheels?

why not? im sitting stock height, im running 235's for now, i only want a 3.5" lift so im not going any bigger than 31's, i gotta trailer i might be able to use em on and and and... my spare would finally match =)

 

[tayman]

ahhhhh..... okay then. I got rid of mine pretty quick. I sold them cheap... like $80 with crappy tires still on them.

off topic but i got the idea to flip my axle and put my leafs on top of the axle on my 5x8 trailer for when i lift my xj i'll have a lifted trailer with matching tires and wheels to drag behind it, it "appears" like i have 2" drop spindles on the trailer and the leafs are on bottom, when i give the axle a 180 degree flip i am expecting to net a 5" lift with the stock 205/70/15's, after adding some 235/75 BFG MT's it will lift it even more =)

[jimbosz07]

srmitchell - I will definitely hit you up when i need some help in the future

MaxxXJ - I'd be happy to sell you the stock wheels once I get new ones. Might take a month or two though
