I found a little private junkyard close to me with a bunch of old military stuff. I can score a set of Rockwell axles for $100. Those of you who have ventured into this area, was the weight and hassle of all the sleeving/reinforcing worth it? Would I have to narrow these axles or should I keep...

I'm having the same delimna about Rockwells, I found a junkyard with a bunch of old military stuff, I can probably get a set of axles for $100 a pair.

Receieved a downpayment on the XJ, it is considered SOLD. Thank you for your interest.

There is about 90 % tread or more on those 36's, they have their scrapes and chunks missing but have all kinds of tread. I can take any pics you want but it's dark now so they wouldn't do you much good.

If I could finish it I wouldn't be selling it. :(

Still for sale, having trouble generating any interest in this thing guys. Any helpful hints?? This thing has to go!

Basically the guy who did the leaf conversion didn't know much about suspension geometry, he tried to pull a shackle reversal and just hung the shackles off the bottom of the unibody. The front of the springs are higher and at an upward angle which makes for horrible bumpsteer. For this reason I...

I'm 4 hours from Sikeston.

Is 1 1/2 inch HREW .120 wall tubing alright for exo-cage applications on an XJ? For my bumpers and rock skidders I was going to use 2 inch .120 wall HREW since they will be taking most the bashing around. The guy bending my cage only has a 1.5 and a 2 inch die otherwise I would consider 1 3/4...

If so any comments/problems/drawbacks you have experienced. I'm about to buy one to run in the rear of my XJ on 36's. Thanks!

I'll try and get a measurement on it. Here is a couple pics showing my rear shackles and my pinion angle.

How do you set the CASTOR on a leaf spring suspension, they told me they could only adjust the toe end, nothing else, they said my castor was good, he was surprised how good it was for being a custom setup but he made no comment on whether or not he could adjust it.

Well due the nature of what this conversion has revealed, I am thoroughly disappointed that I attempted it in the first place. The Jeep will more than likely be sold to let someone else deal with the headache and i will be looking for a different vehicle to build altogether, maybe a Yota in my...
