XJ / HREW / OT ?

[Roxtar]

I can get Chinese fenders for around $45.00 each and I can get the front header panel for $90.00.

Both Brad and Eric have used these parts and seem ok with them.

I'd be very wary of these.
I was just driving along and look what happened to mine:

Folded like a cheap taco.

 

[Dirt]

mmmmmmmm..... tacos.

 

[STEELFISH]

What side and year?

96 and older--- I am thinking drvs....I will check tonight promise

 

[XJ_ranger]

Just noticed.
Is Ron running air shocks all around?
How is it?

yeah - all Fox 16" travel...

kinda sucks - he is always bitching about how he needs to add this, and take this out, then pump in more N2...

VERY stable, but setting them up SUCKS!

also the way his front air shocks mount makes servacing them hard - the schrader valve is tucked way inside a little hole...

and the worst part - is messing with them at the shop and getting them all set perfect - at sea level and 75* doesnt mean SHIT once you get out to JV at 100* and 4000 ft... so they have to be played with more...

but they perform very well and are VERY stable....

They do *float* in some very deep rocks. But, the body roll can be very disconcernning at first. It feels very unstable side to side, but in reality, is more stable than it seems.

Byran felt uncomfortable on the *high* side at over 60 degrees. I felt we had another 5 degrees to go.

The anti rock settings are key for running no coiled steel in the corners. Very touchy.

Down side?

Nose over ass happens really quick. Really.

PS: It helps having interns to make all the adjustments every 10 yards on runs to get *dialed* in.

Yeah! Nothing like the smell of muddy water that's been fermenting since before the first Winterfest uke:

 

[LBEXJ]

Actually, I think it's run-off gray water from some of the local septic tanks ...
