Yet another... Build thread for an xj on 40s and one tons in norcal

[Phil]

I could care less about the second decimal place in an application like this.

Could you?

 

[blondejoncherokee]

I could

 

[Phil]

I am glad that you maintain a little bit of respect for significant digits.

Glad to see you guys got it in with "little" effort, not having to trim the cross member is nice.

Niiiicccceee dood

Yea buddy!!!

The brass fittings coming off the case have to face one way specifically and the little bushings in them need to as well, shallow end facing towards the adjustable rods and bushing shoulder facing towards the adjustable sleeve . Learned that the hard way setting up the shifters. Cut down 3/4" off the metal shifter sleeve and the all thread. Blue lock tite on the all thread and nuts for it . I did chop up the floor quite a bit but everything clears. I'll add some sheet metal to cover unused parts of the opening .

All in all, it wasn't too bad. Hardest part was getting clocked. I can get a finger in between the body and the Atlas and it sits above the bottom of the cross member.

Right where it needs to be!

I'm going to build a second crossmember for the tmr support. And then bridge the 2 crossmembers with a skid to cover the atlas .

use kevins (jeep450r) xmember design!!

I already have a Clayton crossmember. This second one will be behind/under the atlas to support the TMR atlas mount.

oooo ok

 

[blondejoncherokee]

taco cabana here I come .

 

[831_xj]

Hell yes dude...

You're referring to cantina lol right?

 

[blondejoncherokee]

No taco cabana . Some fast food Mexican chain in Austin. Only thing I could find open. Worked like 15 hours today and I did not feel like driving around and getting lost trying to find something better. Now for 2 shots and a beer at the bar next to the hotel.

 

[831_xj]

oh hahah.

 

[XJ_Rudolph]

Lol i love how everyone associates tacos with cantina around this time of year
