Sounds about like a regular Jeep project. JIM knows full well how much the stock crossmember studs are a PITA. My TNT crossmember is only held in with 5 out of 6 bolts because of a !@#$%& stud.

My FSJ was a PITA to lift also. Had to cut every leaf spring bolt with the torch, drop the gas tank to access a weld nut that broke and use some creative engineering to get the rear leafs to flex enough to drop into the shackle.

hey man same here, i have one stud that broke off and i am missing one bolt that holds up my RE belly pan... but i figured that there is enough mount points for it to be safe. nothing has broken yet, so far so good:gee:

disconnect that swaybar and youll get more flex


completely off topic but seeing your jeep made me think of how clean mine used to be when i first got it. i just washed it for the first time this year today woop

 

[SOF15T1K]

looks nice!

I will when I make my home-made disconnects, or find some used ones that work for 3in lifts...

That was really just not a good spot for that, a curb would have worked better...

So what's the next project?


Parakeet

Awaiting the arrival of a T-case drop kit (hopefully I get it by my thanksgiving break...) to install why I try and find the money to do a proper SYE (or H&T)... In the mean time, playing round with my ideas about extending the oem sway bar links, and making them semi-quick disconnect... Also keeping a look out at the local JYs for manuel XJs with 4.10s....

They dont need to be manuals. They have 3.07 gears in the 4.0 models. THe 4 cylinders are the ones with 4.10's.

Thank you for correcting me Aaron, that was what I meant... Not a lot of sleep lately cause of mid terms, anyways, there are a couple XJs I spotted the otherday sitting in the back 40 of a farm near town, gona go talk to the owner and see whats up...

Some of the 4 bangers even had 4.56's.

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

true that, I just scored a set a few weeks back and sold them to Paul...check w/ Collin to see if he has some 4.10's or 4.56's stockers around, I was thinking that he had something in the garage last time I was up there.
