XJ build with the help from Vice offroad

[AtlasYota]

Here is the start of a beautiful thing. Putting a d44 and 9inch under the jeep. Thats the start of it. Building long arms and gonna extend the wheelbase. Makin it up as we go.

nice work.

 

[ED44TON]

Firetoy that looks like your carport.

 

[BRUISER]

NIce.. I built my XJ in a carport also with same axles

 

[Ricky B]

Man I wish I had a carport to work out of, I always end up on the gravel or dirt, and if I'm lucky some pavement

 

[family xj]

I am getting ready to put the same axles in mine only using the radius style arms.

 

[firetoy]

carport

i use what got. it keeps the rain out. thats all that matters.

 

[01blktaco]

since you are extending the wb are you going to link the rear? do you have any idea on what size tires you want to run?

 

[AtlasYota]

thinkin about runnin 40's. Gonna keep leaves in the rear. But just gonna get some longer ones.

 

[paradisePWoffrd]

if you flip the rear springs around itll give you more WB, just gotta watch out for the gas tank

 

[AtlasYota]

Whatta you mean by that? Could you explain it more.

 

[91oneton]

the center pins are offset .. but i think they are offset to the rear already but i am not sure

 

[farmboy]

the center pins are offset .. but i think they are offset to the rear already but i am not sure

Nope, they are offset to the front. Just flip those springs around and move the gas tank for more wheelbase.

 

[AtlasYota]

Ohh, gotcha

 

[firetoy]

$$$

oh its going to cost yeah.

 

[AtlasYota]

Whats gonna cost yeah?

 

[chromerunner]

[AtlasYota]

Got some more done.

8 inch XJ coils and chevy leafs

frame stiffeners

johnny joints

Tim welding up the stiffeners.

New crossmember.

Oh yea, coming along just fine.

 

[family xj]

Are those curries Johnny Joints? They look Just like the 2.25 with 1.25 threads that I have. They are definitely nice and beefy

 

[braxton357]

Damn man, gloves and a welding jacket...or at least long welding gloves. I can only imagine how bad that sucked. Otherwise it really looks good.

 

[mileshigh]

so your running chevy leafs in rear, how does that work?

 

[DavidYoda]

Whoaa Bro, I love how the Jeep is comming along.

 

[90xj]

I'd like to know how the chevy's work too! Looks good!

 

[AtlasYota]

Just like normal leafs. They're just longer, which means more flex.

 

[family xj]

Did you have to make a new front hanger or how did you set them up? Meaning where is the pin in relation to the old? Do you have a pic of thexj beside the Chevy with the pin holes lined up? this might be a great upgrade along with the other stuff I am getting ready to do.
