A detroit IS a mechanical locker. The so called clutches are just gears with shallow teeth to allow them to unlock from the spider assembly.

Good work. Kinda reminds me of how I did mine :D http://xj.rockmongers.com/gallery/hoodvents

I will be installing TJ flares this weekend hopefully. Doing the full set tho, not just rears. Check out xjdb.com, yo7u can probably find what you are looking for there as it is a searchable data base of XJ/MJ pics.

Yes, same thing.

I moved mine to under the hood. Shortened all the vacuum lines going to it. It isnt secured in place but it doesnt really move around any.

This is really your best bet if you want to stick to a specific budget. That and being patient. I've got maybe around $3 - $3500 into my '89 including the purchase price and it was bone stock when I got it. It now has a 4.5" RE lift, locked in the rear and soon in the front when I do the...

What he said. 3.5" lift with the stock drive shaft and its gonna slip out of the tcase some. Yes, doing a SYE would be the right way but if you are looking for a quick, cheap fix, get the driveshaft lengthened and leave the slip yoke setup there for now.

Very common. It wont hurt anything or afect performance in any way. Live with it or get a relocations kit.

Looks like either Baja Claws or some Xterrains that had some tire grooving work done on them.

Looks like more of a lime to me. Nice work on the bumper/xmember.

Great write up there freerider15. Deffinatly something I had planned on doing. This write up will make it all that much easier now :)

I thought about doing that. I didnt tho because when I make a new cross member and skid plates, they will bolt to the bottom and the sides of the frame plating. The other thing I will do at that time is weld the over hang on the inside of the frame. Just less holes to drill for now. You can...

Havent gotten that far yet. The frame plating needs to come first as it is the basis for the rest of the underbelly armor to come.

The peice I found was what they called a rem. It was sold by weight. I just got lucky in that it was exactly 10' long.

Bump for the morning crowd.

Being 1/4" steel, they should hold up just fine under abuse. Strengthening the unibody will probably be negligable but they will protect the frame rails from rock damage for the most part. They will also provide good mounting for future items like rocker protection and a cage.

Rock sliders for your sub frame rails. Just finished these today - http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50304

Yur welds look decent. Could maybe use a little better penetration but that shouldnt be a concern with this project.

Sure, 3/16" would probably be fine but why go thinner when the 1/4" was available and I only spent $28 on the steel including the single cut (was originally a 10" peice). There is just under 50 lbs of steel that I added, maybe a couple lbs more with the welds so the added weight of 1/4" is...
