A few of you guys have seen it in action, and know that it basically is a well armored XJ on 33's, and not a whole lot more. But, it turns heads, and is solid and reliable... There is a build thread on here somewhere, but most of the pics are probably gone by now. • 4.0, AW4, 231 • D30, D44...

Any interest in a hardcore run in Northern Nevada? We have a number of Hammers quality trails out here - much closer than a trip down to JV for most. I know there are a few seriously built rigs in the Sierra Chapter. A brief sample of the sort of thing we have within about an hour of Reno...

I have a couple of rigs I could bring... A boatsided XJ on 33's And a rear steer single seater I've been to JV before, but not with my rigs. I know the XJ could tackle some of the easier trails, and since this is a NAXJA run it makes sense to bring it. But, I hate to drive to JV and...

This isn't the first time I have seen you make the claim about current professional athletes not actually being athletes - so here is the place for your other discussion... From Mirriam-Webster's Online: the definition of athlete in its entirety... Main Entry: ath·lete Pronunciation...

I almost forgot about this one I had stashed away... D44. Xj width, etc, but appears to have been fabricated to that width (not a stock XJ D44). Uses XJ shafts, and all other Xj parts as far as I can tell. Includes shafts, and most internals… Not assembled. The housing is cleaned and...

I have a new rig, and no longer need my old axles anymore… Were under an 88… D44 – Rebuilt about 2K miles ago with 4.56 Superior gears, Auburn limited slip, and all new bearings, seals, etc. Raised shock mounts (GoJeep style), Heavy duty cover. Good brakes (maybe 5k on them…). D30 – Unknown...

Okay, many of you have probably seen the boatside caged junk I am building... Well it started as a fully loaded 88 limited that had pretty much everything still in decent shape. I have most of the interior (grey leather) except the front seats, and most of the exterior bits that can be...

What I have is a basically flat crossmember with the t-case rotated up as far as possible by redrilling the stock tranny adaptor. I have seen a number of pictures of guys running flat crossmembers, but have not seen any good examples of how the exhaust is routed up and over the crossmember...

Dont want to muddy up the announcement, so I pulled this out to discuss here. I know it says more on this later but... Trying to get things nailed down for the summer, and I noticed that this is somewhat different than previous years. I beleive the old standard was 31" tires and one locker or...

I am trying to run a MORE type steering conversion with very little lift. I have already raised the axle end trackbar mount, and am in the process of figuring out what to do about the frame side. The picture shows where I am right now... The angle is pretty much the same a the drag link...

I am trying to keep my rig as low as possible (less than 3") and haven't been able to find many shocks that offer a decent amount of travel and a relatively short commpressed length. Most of the 11" travel shocks come out to 16"-17" or so compressed, which just won't work with very small lifts...

I am building a slightly different cage, and am still working on the fine points. Looking for some feedback on whether those in the know think this is going to work well or not. Right now everything is just tacked in place. 2" .120 HREW BTW... Each side will get one of these frames, and...

D44, 4.56 gears. Backlash is at 0.008 Drive side Coast side Close enough or keep trying? All opinions welcome... Thanks Travis

Yesterday, I was looking at my new D44 pinion bearing, and noticed that the cup was made in India. What is the point in shelling out more for Timken bearings if I can't count on them being made here in the USA? Travis

So will a D30 handle a Goatman style 3-link? I need to replace the passenger upper mount on my D30, and would like to raise the lower mounts, so a 3-link like Goatman's looks like the perfect solution (if it won't rip my D30 apart). Travis

I am planning on putting together a rear traction bar like so many guys are running. Nothing new there, but I am thinking about how to attach the front, and have seen various versions of shackles and rod ends to allow the necessary movement while resticting the upward travel of the bar. What...

I got a D44 out of an MJ for sale in the Reno area. I've had this sitting around for a couple years now, and I have another spare, so it seems like a good time to let it get put to use. - 3.55 - Open - Brakes complete, but most likely will need new cylinders/shoes/drums turned etc... (nothing...

Well, I have a second spare D44 taking up space so I figure its time to get rid of it. I'm posting it here first since I don't want to deal with shipping. First off, its from an MJ, so new perches and shock mounts are going to be in order. The brake system is complete, but If I remember...

I have a question on rock rail mounting. These are homemade, so some background: For the base of my protection I have 1/4" plate covering the outer face and immediate underneath side of the rocker - more or less looks like the rockratz protection (BTW, I tested this alone and it will support a...
