You'll have to grind off the old perches and weld the new ones one. Pretty sexy overall though. Probably will give a small amount of lift all on their own. I think they can also give you a wheelbase stretch if so desired.

I couldn't find the non stretch ones. Instead of have 2 u-bolts though, you have four regular bolts. I don't get what the benefit is unless you are doing like the one I linked and are stretching the wheelbase or something.
As far as gaining height, the only gain would be through a taller perch, which would essentially have the same effect as a lift block would as far as axle wrap goes.

Been DDing my XJ since my Forester had a bad tire and Im waiting for the new set of tires to come in. Rear end is groaning even more so I guess I'll stop driving it for the time being. Guess Ill start looking around for another 8.25 to build up.

Nah. No point is wasting time and effort on a D35, even if it is temporary. Ill start hitting the junkyards soon. A friend of mine might be selling his 4.56 gear 8.25 soon so I might just wait for that.

Same boat. Still haven't finished the mazda so I've been dd'ing the jeep. The last week or so has provided some kind of bearing type noise somewhere in the drivetrain. Starting to worry me.

got a CEL on mine today, noticed today and on Friday a rough idle after driving around for a bit.
Sounds like I've got the 00/01 heat soak issue on the #3 injector. Guess I'm heading to the dealer for the $5 part.

Changed the oil.
goatse'd my rear end to see if there was any damage in there. I've got what sounds like pinion bearings going bad. Looked ok I guess. Painted diff cover again before putting it back on.
Changed rear wiper blade <----very technical
Tried swapping out a headlight bulb but it didn't fix my problem. I've got the putco h4 harness and my passenger light doesn't shine full brightness. It's almost like a "parking light". Other people on the street can see that I have two headlights but it doesn't really project light onto the road for my benefit. I tried 3 different bulbs with the same result. Is this a relay issue?

Ran WAY hot while stuck in McKinney traffic, and just about cooked my self to death with the heater on full blast trying to keep the temps down. So adding to my list of things to do is a cooling system over haul. Thinking about doing the Griffin radiator with full E fan upgrade, blah blah blah full poser stuff.

Repainted my roof since the PO started the job by stripping the paint, but never finished. Figured I should do something before it got all rusty.
Checked my reverse lights to see why they arent working, bulbs looked fine. Replaced them to be safe, need a helper to see if they work now. If not, guess I need to check the sensor on the tranny- its not an NSS since its a 5 speed.
Also repainting my tow hooks red. Because Trailhawk.

I spent the day surrounded by Land Rovers. So naturally, I watched them work on said Land Rovers.
