I tried to send pics to you guys. My program closed w/errors and I don't know if they went through. I can't ship any of this stuff, so if you're not local...sorry. The downside to the internet I guess.

Since I can't post attachments, I'm just going to link to other forums with pictures attached. The first one is the most current, the 2nd is for more pics. Email w/questions. Thanks. http://www.bmja.org/forum/showthread.php?p=182690#post182690 http://www.bmja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18972

Make me an offer

rust on jeeps...the original meaning of "it's a jeep thing"

I got one, I'm in Pa and will be at the PA Jeeps show July 22/23 if you want to meet there to pick it up.

Where do I start?? 1992 XJ, semi chopped top, full comp cage/exo/stinger made from 1.625 hrew and roll tested , rear set up for 4 link/air shocks or coil overs, front set up for long arm susp(fact LCA mounts are cut off, uppers still there), long arm crossmember included, hidden winch mount...

this probably won't help much but I used a plasma torch. Also, if you heat the studs a bit, they come right out. I actually just used mine. It makes it alot handier to line up the crossmember with the arms attached if you have to drop the tcase.

I'm getting ready to coilover the front of my XJ. I was thinking of using a 130 and a 250 lb spring on Fox 14" co's. From what you guys are saying, this would be way too light? This is a comp rig, east coast, no high speed stuff, winch, exo, etc. What is a good place to start?

I see you got that pesky sheetmetal problem taken care of. Looks nice!! What comps are you running?

Is the length of the lower my biggest issue? or the lack of vert separation? If I radius armed it just on the pass side, would that be enough to hold the pinion?'' If you go by the 70% rule of thumb, my upper and lowers are pretty close, so maybe it is the separation. I guess I'll try that...

Looks like some nice work. I'm working on the same thing right now. I'd go with a Detriot for the cost alone. They are dang near bulletproof and are about $500 If you need 3.54 gears for the 60 let me know. I'll donate them to your project since you're military. They are used but still...

All good stuff. Thanks. Any pics would be appreciated also.

So I should shorten the lower or lengthen the upper? Either way, try to make them closer to the same length? RCP Phx...yeah, I was thinking that might be part of it too but was hoping I could get away with it. If I move the uca frame mount back up to the stock location, it will hopefully solve...

Here's what I'm trying to do: 2 lca's, 1 uca on pass side and a track bar. I have my brackets tacked in place and am cycling the axle up/down on both sides to see how it works. The pinion angle seems to change alot when cycling from the pass side. It's a hp D60. I used to have a hpD44 with long...

I have some MT 90 in my Dodge NV and they are fussy buggers about what kind of fluid to run. Cold, hot, it doesn't matter, the stuff works great.
