Found my last Christmas Present when I got home! This and a transfercase skid is all thats left to do on the XJ before EJS in Moab this year!!!
Do it!
I have absolutely zero regrets on buying one. Darren and Ben rip on my Hobart, because they both have inferior machines.

Darren and I welded up my arms with his Lincoln, I didn't want to use my Ferrari welder on these. We ran out of solid core halfway through the first arm and had to use inner shield on the rest... which is way messier with a 220 welder then my 110.
I got a few coats of duplicolor spray bed liner on one side of the arms

Why would it be interesting on the trails? Its just a modified radius arm set up. The only thing the would make this set up work better is a wristed radius arm.

I considered wristing them, but I just like the idea of having a rigid arm holding my front axle in place, depending on my final pinion angle I found these http://www.desertrat.com/products/?id=7505 Oh and I'm getting some steel to make my brackets to connect to my crossmember.

I decided to dust off the hi-lift, and try to come up with a good way to mount it. Hopefully then I'd be more apt to carry it for when Scott blows his next bead.
First I made a lower bracket to capture the base. Yes those are speed holes, every ounce counts. :laugh3:
I wanted to make it removable, but I didn't have any bolts on hand, so instead I fused it to the floorboard. I now consider it a unibody stiffiner.
With the lower mount finished, I made an upper bracket to catch one of the holes on the jack. Here it is mocked up.
It's welded to the C pillar, and uses a piece of threaded rod to mount the jack on.
Last project was to paint my wing nut.

yesterday i Attemped to put the coil spacer that my dad made at work so that my xj would be more leveled out instead of leaning to one side haha and the hole he drilled wasn't big enough so i had to put everything back together and my dad's going to be drilling a bigger hole.
