Do you know this jeep?

nick, the trac bar still looks backwards..
the sleeved posts look like beefy disco holders
and the drag link looks hoakie.

Still, any rig you buy that was someone elses project will take some tinkering to bring it to your own level. I still think it was a decent buy.

Call IRO, some guy on the internets said they have kickass customer service. :)

Oh, and that draglink is very :doh: with it's maxed-out angles. Best o' luck to ya.
 
I'm not a fan of the IRO longarm design, but they do make other parts that are good. Not many people offer WJ lift parts, so when I start upgrading I'll be shopping in their neck of the woods. I'm running some of their exhaust parts now. While the design to me isn't great, I do think they are a good company overall.

I ran that style of 3-link on my XJ with good results once I eliminated the rubber bushings on the axle end (RockKrawler joint) of the upper. Mine had a heim for adjustment where it met the lower link though, and I much preferred that. Not having the adjustability in the lower links to me was not a big deal, as I never really needed to adjust it.

They use johnny joints, moog bushings, thick DOM, so those parts I like. Josh over there is quick and helpful when you shoot him calls or emails with questions.

Oh, and I don't think you'll find that steering system on their site...at least I hope not. Yikes.

The steering system that IRO sells is different from most, but no, that is NOT the iro steering, thats hillbillie deluxe custom steering on that rig.:farmer:
 
yeah, not to bad for only having $900 bucks in to it!

the 94 all stock jeep we traded for it, we only paid $900 for it.... sweet deal!
 
this rig looks 100x better in person. sure it needs a little work, but for the amount you got it for, its a great deal! you could triple your money over a weekend just by parting it out.. it runs and drives good so IMO its a great platform to start with.

Although, you might find your diff cover missing one morning..:anon:

So, S-10 leafs, how much lift? bastard-pack, I assume. ARB diff, but not locker? What does that mean? I was unaware that ARB made a "diff" that didn't include one of their air lockers. Please explain. No gears either? So it has no ARB locker nor gears? It's just an empty housing? Which 8.25" rear end, 27 spline or 29 spline? Did the person who told you the motor was "gone threw and rebuilt" provide any receipts?

Not trying to mock you, just looking for some clarification for whomever may be interested in buying this Jeep.
 
yes s10 bastered pack gave me 7 " of lift, and ARB does make a diff cover with out air locker like i said i was no where near done and the axles have stock gears no SYE but with the 8.25 and shims some how i got perfect drive line angles and doesnt bind up at all im going to start puting some pics up if u guys want ? and no the guy did not give me any reciepts for the engine but it ran pretty solid and yes that steering REALLY sucked i was going to get somthing else.
