Hey X how far do the TMR plates extend forward? would you be able to pick up any steering box bolts if you hadn't chopped them for the JKS plates? Maybe a pic of the driver side if that's not too much trouble.

btw the tires are working great. thanks for the hookup.

That's a good looking rig there man. Can't wait to see some good flex pics. I really like those moabs with that color XJ. Looks sharp.

Thank you all for the compliments. I really liked how the Moabs worked on my last XJ, the 285/75/16 is a good fit for an XJ wheelwell, too.

Made some progress last week on the beefed HP 30.

Got the ball joints installed and was surprise how well my cheap HF press worked.

SBS Plate welds smoothed, primed and finished.

Looking Good!

Was curious... Did you source the Super-Ride bushings? Why those instead of Super-Flex?

 

[XJEEPER]

I asked Bob at TnT about the bushings before ordering. He indicated that the SuperRide units perform well and hold up to flexing too, so I'm going on of his recommendation. They ship all the Y arm kits with these at the axle end and Summit flex joints at the crossmember.

They are not un-graded coach bolts in the shock mounts are they??

Good eye! Must be just for mock up.

Hey Marcus, you have issues with my hardware?

Hey Marcus, you have issues with my hardware?

If you use those I will!

Been busy this summer, lots of weekend trips with the fam........none offroad though . Here's some stuff that I've gotten done.......

Good Work, looking forward to seeing it finished.

Looks like the Server crash bumped my updates, so I'll repost.

looks awesome, man. Very detailed work.

I took those little rotor protector plates off mine because they trap gravel and make horrible noises...

 

[Mosephus]

Did you take it to Moab?
