well this is my new baby. got tired of trying to finish my other one, and found its alot cheaper to buy things somewhat built. it came with RE 5.5" long arm with ACOS, rear soa with an 8.8 with disks. front has a powertrax no slip and teraflex high steer. gears are 4.10s and it has the 97+ swap. worn 35" toyos and 2.5" exhaust with flomaster 40 series.
since then i have swapped out the base model dash for one with full guages, replaced the front pinion bearings, made a inner steering box reinforcement plate and added a kevins offroad steering box brace. while i was doing the pinion bearing i put on a G2 diff cover and outter axle tube seals. got rid of the 35"s for some meteric 33"s (cooper STT), threw on some hood vents and a banks torque tube.
other than that i have swapped the 5.5" coils for 4.5" and raised the ACOS, added "fatmat" to the roof and rear of the cab. tranny temp guage and cooler and JKS adjustable bumpstops. looking at swapping in a dakota tank to get rid of the xj tank behind the axle and in the garage in now have a HP dana 30 with a detroit truetrack, and a rear xj dana 44 with an eaton e-locker both having 4.56 yukon gears. currently awaiting a quote on chromo axles and a sye.
i have a warn hs9500i thats waiting to go on once i make a bumper. need a little more motovation and a few more fab tools. plan on doing front/rear bumpers and a set of rock rails.
got my new bumper/winch on along with a tool box and CB installed. soon ill get my other axle sleeved and gusseted then do 4.56 with an ARB and i have a rear dana 44 with 4.56 and E-locker that needs the perches welded on
im going to finish up the inner sleeve, but then sell the axle. in the next in the next few weeks to month ill be buying a rubicon dana 44 sleeved and guesseted with 4.88 and 30 spline chromos and ARB and a rear 44 with detroit, 4.88, disk, AEV pinion guard and chromos
got some bilestein 5125's up front, ARB compressor for the soon to be axle swap, made some bump stop extensions from UHMW and snagged some seats off craigslist.
I ****ing love that truck. I have got to get me one of those!
