Have you made a write up on this, or are you following a thread? I'm intrigued.

I got the idea from dino on jeepstrokers. I had to have it since my stroker was gonna run lean.

Stuck my up country coils in up front. Turns out my Dakota spacers wouldn't fit.

Tried the shackles but both upper bolts were seized to the bushings.
Ran out of time so now my XJ looks like it's sagging.

I guess what I'm ultimately interested in is how will you know when you've achieved "correct"/desired air fuel mixture. I've seen similar setups in different vehicles, but they tune with expensive programs and scanners.

Got the damn coolant drain plug outa the block today do I could drain it well. Got the prestone cleaner in, just need a few hours of driving to flush it out and be ready for winter.

Wheeled Lavant Lookout with the local Jeep club - had 8 in total. Long day with 4 newbies - and I beat Scampy like a red headed step-child.
Ironically the rock my rear left tire is on knocked off my rear view mirror on the way back out.

Completely knackered the exhaust behaving stupidly. Pulled my whole exhaust back 3 " and flattened it. My tail pipe is now over top of my leaf spring. I'll be whipping out the sawzall to correct that, but the whole Y pipe is done, and it's leaking at the headers.

Air fuel ratio gauge and tune accordingly. Correct air fuel ratio is 14.7 so just need to keep it at that. With Ford racing 24lb injectors it will need to bee around 5.4 volts at the map sensor.

Sounds like a crazy day in the trails - anybody of the newbies damage anything? How the hell did that rock whack your rear view mirror off?

Came down hard onto my drop bracket going the other way. Sloppy end of day kind of driving. I hope to snag a video of me climbing a big ledge dragging my cat-back.

Noobs did good. I guy had a 2" BB JK 2dr on AT's - that was fun to see. There were not many bypasses on a steady stream of rocks, but he worst damage was an FJ that scraped his plastic sliders - bent one up and tilted them both. He should not have been on that trail, but was warned. I was leading the run and spotted all day to minimize the carnage.

Ironically it was that FJ that pulled a beater of an XJ out of a mud hole. Twice.
I was ashamed.

I remember when our baby girl was that small!

Now she is all grown up 3 years old and 3 legged

Picked up a T-harness (trailer wiring) today, so I can take my tear-drop camping.:2thumbsup:
Also picked up a Chilton manual . I think I like the Haynes manual better.

Threw in my new Rustys 6.5" leaf springs

 

[Gheap]

Tried to drill out the metal sleeve in the track bar bushing and wrecked 3 really good metal bits!! Any ideas?

Pb blaster and a punch. Use a big hammer and wail on it. Or you can torch it out, if you can replace the bushing if you mess it up .

 

[Gheap]

I just wanna drill it out and stick a 7/16 bolt thru. But I can't seem to b able to drill the sleeve

Look at the gap between tailights... :eyebulge: stiffeners??

 

[JeepN4KC]

Greased everything that has a grease-zert. Couple of the boots have pinholes or cracks. Probably oughta start lookin at replacing/upgrading the steering components.

Started work on a false bottom/storage for the back of the Xj.

Are you talking about between my tail-lights and my quarter guards? (home brew of course)

That's because my cut and fold wasn't symmetrical. The left rear is a bit more gapped out.

When I did that cut and fold, I didn't take my rear bumper off (rookie mistake) so they are slightly different side to side.

I have full length stiffeners on the list, but I am plated to the wheel arch and run the hitch with thick custom nutserts.

Nice, that looks good, I was thinking about building something like this myself,
