your typical 1 ton XJ build thread

[CAJJ93XJ]

Crappy photos but it's all I got. I'll update again after the weekend. Driving it to moonrocks for its maiden voyage




Everything seems to be working really well. So far.. Fingers crossed!

Front swaybar on in that pic? Looks really stiff.

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

ridiculously stiff. them deavers are no joke

 

[GordoSmasho]

That's only like a foot and a half ledge there. I'm sure it will flex fine. Stiffer fronts makes the rear work more in the rocks. Gives you a more balanced feel when flexing deep. Instead of flopping back and forth when the rear end hits something while the front is flexing like crazy.

Even on that little ledge you can see the rear is working. Looks sick. Take some good picks man. I want to see this thing in action.

Are you going to hit any of the runs with is this weekend?

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

you can for sure expect some decent pics and a very nice gopro video of me trying every obstacle I can. if the jeep makes it there ok, and it feels nice wheeling, I may give jon a call and try to see if I can come out on saturday

if you guessed Perry on a lawn mower, you were correct

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

[CAJJ93XJ]

steelman trying it in reverse on the last night




and then on the drive back home I got some MAD DEATH WOBBLE. track bar mount on the frame side is coming off. I knew that wouldn't be strong enough. oh well. back to the drawing board

check page 10 for all the other pictures! happy memorial day everyone

Is that place only open certain times or something? That is on part of my west coast wheeling bucket list.

 

[Alboy97XJ]

Moonrocks is open year around

 

[94xjsport94]

Ah. Seems like I've only seen people go this weekend every year.

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

it's always open. but on memorial weekend, thousands of people show up to party and roll their rig. if you're going to go, it has to be for memorial weekend. we'll be there every year so all you gotta do is show up

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

theres some better shots

That death wobble was pretty scary to watch, awesome build though man, keep up the good work

FYI on that front arm/knuckle steering setup. I had to run a Waggy pitman arm to prevent wobble. The leverage was better and held it more rigid.
