What have you done to your rig today?

[Jody Treadway]

That's a pretty sexy XJ...as sexy as an XJ can be, anyway.

I'll likely get a set of 265 agressive all terrains for it soon. That's really about it aside from skids and armor.
I want a mild wheeler so my wife and I can both go with both rigs.
Also I'm dropping my Ranger off with @stinkbomb and NTK Fab next month for some sexiness, so I need a backup until it's done.

Drove it home!
Took off the stock coils and spacer and replaced them with 3.5" Metalcloak springs. Some new Rubicon Express control arms, MC disconnects and @thebrotherinlaw's old RE track bar (new bushings).
Installed one of Ironman4x4 Fab's shackle relocation brackets along with a 2" AAL out back.
Cleaned up a bent and twisted front bumper, painted it and added a used TSC 8k winch.
Not a bad little DD/wheeler

Ordered a bunch parts for an sye, along with fuel pump, cat back exhaust (nothing fancy, just to replace my nearly rusted through muffler) and a few other odds and ends. And now I wait....

Handled a long black shaft today. Shout out to @Oliver's for the quick turn around time.

It's doing OK. But it's about to go under the knife at my shop.
Stickies, Racelines, full hydro, high steer, lowered a bit, revised link angles and mounts along with a custom track bar.
Time to make it perform a little better.

Many of the perimeter trails and the non-obstacle ones. Even the easy ones were rutted pretty badly. Luckily I was able to straddle many of the ruts

There goes the stock part of the build.

I'm referring to his old XJ. The maroon one owned by my brother in law. You can see it in the background.
I like mine just how it turned out. Wheel all day, drive it home at 75 mph on the highway!

THANKS GUYS.

Been a busy year and rig has been down since last spring. The last few weeks I have finally found some time and motivation to get back in the shop. Awhile back I removed the th400 and 205 setup. And Today I got the freshly rebuilt th350 and 205/203 doubler installed.

Well I’m pretty proud of my self..I finished the brakes front/rear..booster master cyl/shocks front rear/pulled the track bars front and rear, sway bar..
Started the Jeep ran it (on jack stands)and I’ll be dammed that the brakes worked and the tires stopped..

 

[Chris_Keziah]

Finally spooled up the new cable, old one had quite a few bad spots.

Also me and @adamk got @k5-1402 Jeep wrapped up Friday night. Old track bar bracket was trashed and the frame had a pretty large crack in it. Just waiting for the bumpstops to come in tomorrow to finish it up the rest of the way.

Picked up this new (to me) Warn 9.5cti this morning. Fo hundo sounded like a deal I couldn't pass up so left Charlotte at 445a and headed towards Raleigh. 5 hours round trip and back home by 1030a.
