A few more pics of the Crawl Ride..... I broke my Passenger Limit Strap on the first trail and the piece of seat belt I was using kept stretching.

A real quick video of me hitting a ledge called KB..... I was the only one who made it that day. 2 of the rigs were running 43's and 60/14 bolts but were denied. Hah... it was an epic day.

Haha... thanks brother.

Well I haven't really ever been happy with how my XJ flexed in the back and even after installing the shackle relocation It still wasn't great. I also didn't like the 1.5 inches of rake I got either.... so this evening I pulled the add a leaf out (that was 1/4 inch thick) and put the stock leaf back in. So now I have a stock leaf pack and I absolutely love how it flexes... I was able to carry the front tire without it tipping.... and it sits level again....

[jbain08]

Haha.... thanks brother.... The stability is consierably better....

Finally got around to wiring up all the lights..... should make it a little easier to see if I end up caught out after sunset.

rig looks mean

 

[jbain08]

Thanks buddy.... but no where near as mean as yours...

 

[jbain08]

Mounted up a set of 39.5's for Harlan, 7 days and counting.... can't wait.

 

[Luke95]

Aren't you on a ,44 and nine?

 

[jbain08]

F250 44 with half inch tubes, Detroit and RCV's up front, 8.8 with moly in the rear. Buggy is gutted and as light as possible.

You shouldn't have any problems at Harlan. Good looking XJ.

 

[jbain08]

Thanks 807, we go down at least once a year. One of my favorite places to wheel.

 

[ftwelder]

So sick.

 

[N20Jeep]

Looks badass on the 39.5's. And im jealous of harlan. Got a trip planned there for next August

 

[jbain08]

Thanks guys, Well keep in touch N20 and maybe we could meet up with you guys. You also might check out "IVY Branch" Hatfield and McCoys in WV. It's where we wheel the most and I lake it as well if not better than Harlan. By the way your rig looks way better with the 40's

Nice looking buggy. Iirc all ford truck 44 steer axles are half inch wall tubed diffs. At least I know my hp44 is.

 

[jbain08]

Not sure what years exactly but the earlier F-150's use 2.75" x .5" tubes. The F-250's use 3" x .5". The late F-150's use .375" tubes.
