No leaks! Going to Bridgeport on Sunday to see what I can break next.
Thanks! Yeah its on 35" BFG KM2s.
In mid 2020, i picked up the XJ, a welder, and an angle grinder. I have always wrenched on my own vehicles, but this is my first non daily driver to have fun with. Its also been a blast figuring out how to stick metal together.
I haven't done all that much to it, but i should start a build thread. It came pretty nicely built with the 35s, Clayton long arm 3 link, one ton steering, a trussed/locked D30, and 4.88 gears.
However, there was TONS of deferred maintenance to be done. It was leaking like a sieve and running like crap. I feel like i spent so much time fixing and sorting stuff, but i have finally gotten to making improvements! I always end up with a list after each trip.
Projects that come to mind include:
- New rear bumper (first fabrication project!)
- Fixed tons of binding in front suspension / steering
- Added hydro assisted steering with rebuilt box
- Trans and steering coolers (Big improvement!)
- Added rear locker
- Prothane progessive F/R bumpstops
