Whats up guys,I did a search but couldnt find to much on bulletproofsteering was thinking of ordering there OTK crossover system for my 2000 XJ D30 front. Just wanted to see if anybody out there is running it, how its holding up, also really wanted to know what mods will be needed in order to make this system fit I know the swaybar tab is probably gonna get in the way, but wondering if anything else is an issue with this kit. Also what do you guys think of the trailprrof dom size tubing 1.125 OD .22 inner they have a race proof which is 1.325 OD and .375 inner but I am thinking the ticker the tub the more clearance issues. Also I am running 15x8 with 4" backspacing will the OTK clear?? Any help and info on this would really be appreciated take care guys...

There are a couple of other people that run their setup. Can't remember who but I have seen threads on it. Have you been to their website? www.bulletproofsteering.com
Hey whats up thanks for the PM.. Yeah I have been on there website, I just want to get info on the system on XJ's there site really doesnt have anything on that. Pretty much just want to get people opinions to see if its worth it. Also want to know what exactly am I going to have to customize in order to make it fit right.

Their isn't really a "XJ" system. You have to tell them what you need. If I could do it again I would have a 4* bend 4" in from each rod end on the draglink for extra travel. The hiems are extra tight. Mine has been on for 2 1/2 months now and the hiems still haven't loosened up. The hiems also have a lifetime warranty and chromoly. I definately recommend this setup to anyone that can fab their own.Los11 said:

Also dont forget that you will have to relocate the trackbar!
I was also thinking of doing a setup like this http://www.completeoffroad.com/images/cat/TieRoddragLink71-77Bronco1111447669.jpg
I think I may be able to fit it without having to move my TB. What do you guys think??

LOS,
If you are going to mount that setup like stock (under the knuckle), it won't help the angles at those TREs any. Sure its beefier, but I think you'd be better off getting the Currie HD steering since it helps the angles some. It is more expensive though.

Whats up bro, I would like to mount it OTK just dont have any way to move the TB over the axle cause I dotn have a welder, I am wondering if I go OTK will I have to move the TB bracket or not. I would go with the currie but I was thinking that at $385 its expensive to keep the same style Y steering and those TRE's are custum and expensive to replace. So why not go crossover with heims or 1 ton TRE's you know. I dont I am a bit confused what do you think ......

Well, supposedly you'd have to move the trackbar up when you do a OTK in order to keep the trackbar parallel with the draglink. Also in the pic that you linked to:
It looks like this steering is made for under the knuckle. If you flipped it the drag link would be on the wrong side of the tie rod which would most likely be a problem. I don't know if that hole is tapered or not, but I think they usually are.
