Finished putting in the new BrownDog engine mounts and then took it out for a mud bath. Just before going home the dreaded Death Wobble reared it's ugly face. Took it nice and slow on the back roads home. Had fun though.

Havnt been able to do too much, got a new 2nd job and put 560 miles on it just last week alone but im buying some chrome rims (look like mickey T classics but different brand) for the xj this week..although to be honest not sure if i wanna get rid of the black rims for chrome esp since i love the look of white on black rims and now my lower half is black... hmm :shhh:

Can you? Really? Your body and bumpers are the same height, and you can climb the same size ledges?

It's certainly possible that where you wheel you can get away with 37's no problem, and if that's the case you can probably get away with smaller axles. But the only thing that's "the same" between properly setup tons and 40's or 42's and smaller axles with 37's would be the clearance to the bottom of the diff.

Like I said, that may be perfectly appropriate--maybe even better--but it certainly not "the same" in any sense of the word. I can get "the same" clearance on an S35 and 35's probably, but that's not the same either.

I was refferinfg 100% to diff clearance

It's dark and I won't be home for a while yet. I still take some pics but don't know how well they will be.

That's fine

As for me.....scary

 

[Joshharris98xj]

I think These were for speakers not used on the sport package. so I just zip tied them there.

That's pretty awesome what exactly did you zip tie them to?

 

[Joshharris98xj]

I meant to put a pic with that ^ but it won't upload gf driving the jeep

 

[mountainjock]

Gave the stock front bumper away.....to a fellow JF member We kinda have a nice lil community here!

Sounds legit.

 

[DezertTJ]

Pulled the abs light relay, solenoid, and switch because my rear abs was engaging everytime I'd stop. All better now

Anything solid I could find. Lol don't really remember. And just got my hinges off and drilled out to 3/8" pin. And replaced those damn trx head bolts with some stainless hex that I can get a ratchet wrench on. Oh and had the idea to pick up more of the door side hinge out of the JY and make some half doors out of square tube to weld them to. That way I can just unpinned the doors and pin the half doors on.

 

[BlueBadger]

Thanks buddy

Hey josh check out the thread called. (callin all people running door less) were covering allot on there.

 

[ChiliPepperXJ]

[BlueBadger]

Just installed, quite possibly the best mod yet. My JF membership decal.

That's what it's about right? I just gave away front axle shafts, pass door and lift next!

That is awesome. If only I took the time to do that then I would take my doors off, haha.

I think its interesting how a few companies make tube doors for the XJ, yet none sell kits that make removing the doors easier. I know lots of people who like the idea of removing the doors yet don't want to hack the hinges for fear of the doors sagging afterward.

Thank you. And agreed. There is a huge lack of support for this mod. Well worth it though.

Here you go guys. Just got the door hung in place everything fits nice. Now I just have to shim and tighting her down.
