ok so im new to this forum but feel free to haze me for wrong terminology and what not.
I have just begun a new jeep build i purchased a 1993 4 door xj with a 2.5 and a five speed, for $500 and the jeep is really clean minus a little rust underneath passenger seat but all in all nothing that cant be cut out and re welded. so over the past month i have been collecting parts for this build. i have done a lot of homework and read a lot on the forums. i purchased a Full Traction 6" long arm kit. i found a ser of 33 10. 50 bfgs on craigslist. found a set of sway away 12" 2.0 resivoirs and 2.0 2" sway away bump stops fresh rebuilt with brand new cans. and this morning im actually headed out the door down to t and j to get some parts fot the build.
i also built a roof rack out of mild steel i believe it was 095 wall? cant remember it was thin cause i didnt think i was gonna be putting a large amount of weight up there. i also built a light bar that sits right across the top of the windshield, its fully adjustable but is still connected to part of the rack.i have 4 9" hids that are flood pattern but plan on building 4 new SPOT beams for the light bar and relocating the floods to the front bumper thats in process, and the 9" lights i have now are 35w and last night i built 2 9" spots that are 55 watt and are insane bright!
but all in all i was wondering if there are any special tricks or something to watch out for when im installing the ft kit? thank you for your time bring on the hazing
