Hiya all, Im new to the boards here but when I came across this source of info I thought Id best tap it. I currently have a Toyota Tacoma as my daily driver and a Jeep TJ as my play toy. Due to a change in jobs im thinking of selling both these and just getting an XJ to do both jobs.
What I was wondering if you could help me with is some direction for my new project. This will be my 10th jeep so I know enough to avoid the D35, I was wondering if the 8.25 came with ABS or what years came with a D44 and ABS?
As far as the suspension goes the 6" full traction looks good but I think for my style of off roading that might be a bit high. Id like to run 33" tires and a smaller lift to keep my center of gravity lower and have the best ride I can. My initial though is 4.5 RE extreme ride kit and do Bushwacker flares to make them fit, but am open to your experince. Im not overly concerned about extreme flex, Ill run ARBs to take care of the traction I loose by minamizing my articulation.
I do want to have a winch bumper on front and tire carrier on back so with the added weight will I need more lift then am planning?
Id also like to be able to park in my garage, do you guys with the 6" of lift and 33s still use yours?
Please post any comments on things I definitaly need to do or should avoid, Id much rather learn from your experience then be posting a HELP question in a month.....Thank you
