[blenny]

Is that 4 link kit from ESO off the shelf, cannot seem to find it on their web site

 

[Hammered]

got to see the recent episode (last?) Looks killer man. I donno if it was camera angle but the atlas levers look tight?... either way. That Low COG monster rocks man.

glad you got your xj back and then some.

Man this is so cool watching your rig get built. Sorry to hear you had such a problem when you had the first shop work on it. Glad to see you got it all done and you are having a good time in it.

God Bless sir.

Yes the subframe will be available for purchase, I spoke to jimmy
Penner today, it just isn't on the site yet.

If you want to buy it I'm Sure one call will be all it takes.

Saw the first one. Looks awesome. And yea that true 4link kit is sick.

Here's the 4 link subframe

that kit would be awesome if you could modify it to be a front 3 link. nice price too.

 

[autoboy454]

The nice part about it is that its setup for a double triangulated four link. No need for a track/panhard bar.

 

[rockclimber]

I'd buy the back half if they would sell it separate.

 

[sardo_67]

Why not buy the entire subframe kit and just not use the 4 link front? For like $450 that's a sick set up.

I may go that route...

need to afford the links, coilovers and fuel cell first.

 

[sardo_67]

Hmm. That is a good point. Although you could do a non coilover rear similar to the Clayton kit and make your own links. Making your own links isn't cheap cheap but with Jonny joints and inserts like $110-130 a link.

Even just the subframe is worth it when you figure on separate frame stiffeners.

 

[chedisme]

Did they say how much lift you would have to run to clear everything?

The jeep is awesome, what Ian did was great as well as the other sponsors did. But I really wish they would have spent more time on the cutting and stretching of the rear quarters as well as the cage, and left out the 9in gearing.

 

[Egodfrey]

The jeep is home!

 

[chedisme]

Nice.
