Project T-REX

well, im back, heres a little background, first off, im Matt, i live in south jersey, i use to have a 95 xj 4.5 rc (bad idea) on 33's that i built when i was 16/17, i knew nothing, it was my first truck, glad i got rid of it, since then i had an 85 yota that the frame broke in half almost, and a j10 i built on 35's, i just traded the j10 for a 4door 95 cherokee to build again, right now it has 3" and 31's (that i sold yesterday), on tuesday im goin and picking up 6.5 uppers and lowers for $75, 90% of this build will be self built or bought used, i already got a set of 33 m/t's on rims for free (buddy owed me a favor or 3) i should have pics of it up in a few days

- 6.5" lift
- 8.8 or 44 rear
- custom bumpers built front and rear
- tube doors
- rocker guards
- rear spool
- 4.56 or 4.88 gears
- shafts for dana 30?
- paint eventually
- 33's for now till i save for 35's

if anyone see's the parts i need for sale let me know! i still need 95% of the list lol

thats the list of what it will have (for now)

a tcase from a rubi maybe? I dunno if it is a direct bolt up, but they come geared lower (4:1?) and have sye's stock. I am not sure which years :X

They might be a little $$ if you are looking to do a budget.

just a quick search for teralow 4:1

yeah teralow is kinda pricy, i was hopeing to be able to find something at a junkyard with lower gearing that goes in

well i was on here on a different name when i had my old one, more of a stupid lurker askin dumb questiosn back then, once i got the yota i wasn't on here, same thing with the fsj, its been about a year and a half maybe?

Sounds like a cool build!

I got a 8.8 with discs and spacers installed for sale if you're lookin'

yeah i seen it, and then i dreamed about it lol, i think im going to whind up getting a d44 out of a junkyard do to my finances, your looks nice man wish i could afford it, anyone know if they make a green hurculiner? also, im still confused on makeing my own quick dissconects, if anyone see's a writeup somewere let me know! thanks, Matt

They aren't much fun... you need a ratcheting spanner and a Torx bit to get them out. Or vise-gips. Or weld a nut to them. Once they are out, replace them with regular hex-heads so you don't have to go thru the same crap again.

might have to do the weld the nut on trick

take your fender off and loosen the bolts through the holes in the hinges. the hole are there for access to the 2 rear bolts on each hinge...front or rear.

lets seem some dam pics

then we can the the progress
