This is what happened this weekend, i think the pics tell it all No comment about the manufacturer, it was not the first time that his parts failed. :banghead: :banghead: I want to replace those things with something really bulletproof and need some suggestions about wall...

A few weeks ago i rolled my POS. So i decided to take off the sheet metal and buggify it. This is what it looks right now. The main cage is no problem, the B hoop will be behind the seats just in front of that piece of sheetmetal that is normally under the rear seats. The cage will then...

I installed my 3.8 Atlas today. Everything went fine except the speedo hookup. I could not insert the stock speedo gear (long shaft) into the housing. What do i have to modify? Short shaft gear?

While rolling down the trailer i heard a few bangs so i stopped to take a look. This is what i saw 2 years ago the same thing happened to my short lower arms at the frame side. At this time Rusty changed the design and added brackets to prevent this. I called Rusty about this and...

I already broke the CV of my front driveshaft (destroyed the center section of the CV and the pin) and almost broke the replacement shaft this weekend. On full droop the CV is at the limit of his motion and produces a lot of wear signs on the center section of the CV. Where can i get a CV with...

I'm in the process of fitting my 9100 Bilsteins and i decided to cut away the coil tower and mount them with a hoop under the hood. You coilover guys, where and how did you mount the hoops and where did you put the electric stuff at the passenger side? I have no clue at the moment where to...

I'm in the process of calculating my suspension setup and need the sprung weight front and rear o the XJ. Stock weight is OK, if anybody has some numbers with bumper and winch that's welcome too. Thanks.

I'm in the process of finishing my XJ buildup (D60 front/D 70 rear) and i have a question about placement of the track bar bracket on the axle. As you can see i have a hi-steer setup on my front. The track bar bracket will be so high that i think it will touch the frame while flexing. What...

As some of you may have noticed i'm building a set of axles for my XJ, D60 front and D70 rear. I have a small problem with the rear brakes. What e-brake cables should i use and what are the correct numbers for the wheel calinders? The D70 is out of a '82 F-350 Dually, BOM 605038-11. Thanks for...

I'm in the process of building my front D60. After shortening and switching the diff to drivers side i need new axle shafts. How do you calculate or measure for the new length of the inner shafts?

We're having a discussion over at the german Jeep Forum whether it is better to build a 231 with TeraLow and SYE or build a D300 with a flip kit and 4 Low or go and buy a Atlas. What do you think is the best way? Ultra Low axle gearing is not possible because this is a daily driver too which...

I'm going to replace my Rustys 6" leaf pack in the rear with something else. Any recommendations? I don't want to loose height, if the new leafs give more lift it is very welcome :D :D

Hi everybody, i need the thread size of the tie rod end that is used in the stock XJ at the drivers side knuckle. Is this a 5/8-18 thread? I have to buy tap and die and have to verify the size. Thanks in advance Joachim

I want to continue my thread on the old forums. I asked if anyone done a M/C and hydrobooster conversion from a M/C out of a K30 (M1008) Pickup. Reason why i want to do it is that i'm already running 38.5s and i can't improve stopping power enough to stop those meats. I'm planning to go to...
