Budget prerunner build
I figured i would start a half ass buil thread. I have wanted to build a cherokee for a long time and this one fell into my lap.
![]() I knew I wanted the full traction kit so I ordered it minus the springs and shocks ![]() ![]() ![]() The original plan was to use a 4" deaver coil in the front but after I put it together I didn't like the way it sat so i put a 5.5" rubicon express spring in. Next was the shocks I put a 2.5x12" sway-away triple bypass on the front connected to a t&j upper shock mount ![]() The picture was taken before I welded it in. For the rear I did deaver springs and made a longer shackle. ![]() I have 2.5x16" sway-away triple bypass for the rear that will tie into the roll cage. The plan is to put the t&j prebent cage in this weekend and mount the rear shocks. This is how the jeep sits now ![]() ![]() The front axle is a dana 44 out of a South American xj that I put 4.56 gears in and chromoly shafts from ten factory. The rearend is the stock 8.25 that I regeared to get me by till I build a 9" I also did the Tom woods sye and a Tom woods driveshaft |

How in the world did you come across a dana 44 from a South American XJ?

Re: Budget prerunner build
Those SAW bypass's, are those factory bypass? or did someone customize them? Also that FT trackbar is a known weak link, i remember hearing about a team who broke 2 in 1 race, and I have personally been given one free of charge while buying other parts from a complete stranger, because he had enough problems with it.
Nice build youve got going, I cant wait to see more of the build! |

We got one from Currie years ago. I don't recall the back story on how they got them or how many they got.
