Those sure are shiney. I dig the retro look.

(Your spare is flat.)

 

[Cnickgo]

It's like the Hot Mess except smaller, and much nicer. Not redneckified. Those wheels look identical to whats on my XJ, except once again much nicer (had to paint mine, the finish was crap). We have similar tastes.

 

[highspeed]

Hell Yeah. Now you have to scratch those wheels.


Nice touch!

Thanks man, I kind of built to look like the trucks I grew up seeing. Luckily I have a fullsize spare and that was just from my old XJ in the shed.

Haha thanks man, great minds think alike!

Yea that's on the list somewhere.




Thanks guys! I got the steering set right to get my radius back, my sway bar endlinks installed, and bypassed the rear load sensing valve. I am really happy with the finished product and ride height! I attached a photo of the exact fitting needed for bypassing the valve with the 8.8 in hopes it saves others some time getting the right one the first time!

I hope all of my pics aren't killing you guys! haha

 

[highspeed]

The only thing killing us is all the black top.

I've already got some of my parts towards regearing. I think I'm going to get that and all my trans/transfer case parts together to move forward with getting 4wd back.

I put on some new outer glass seals because the old ones were so hard and brittle they were scratching my glass and breaking away. Not to mention they'd cut you if you put your arm up! I also had a spare mirror that I put on that wasn't faded out.

The stabilizer was pretty shot so I went ahead and replaced that since pretty much everything else had already been done. I still need to take it in for an alignment to get the caster just right but it's been driving fine so far.

And of course I had to get some pictures of it next to my old XJ which has changed a lot exterior wise. Rubicon Anvil paint, hood vents, armor to replace the old pocket flares, new front and rear bumper, WARN winch with OBA, etc.

 

[revmaynard]

I've been tracking my mileage since the lift and I'm not upset.....

I also got my old bumper back and put it on today, I just need to mount my winch now!

 

[Ghost]

Nice. What bumper is that?

 

[revmaynard]

It's the old one from my Cherokee stump and I built.

 

[revmaynard]

I got my winch mounted in the bumper and installed some cube LEDs on the stinger. I haven't wired any of it up just yet because my battery doesn't have enough CCA for the winch so I figure I'll wait and get a new one first. I had to recently replace the CPS, coil (again), and rotor (again). I also made a homebrew intake for the RENIX 4.0.

Anyone think my CPS was bad?

This was the early stage before I rerouted the hoses and put in a heatshield.

Finished product.

 

[PacificEd]

I'd like to have one of the air intakes for my Renix. Any details on what you used to build yours?

 

[shortxjdoug]

Man i ran an air intake like that on a renix and even the lightest puddle would drive steam up into the motor. Then it would proceed not to start for half an hour.

Stock airbox brings all the win

 

[Cottontail]

I just ran mine to the cowl.

Hijack - over.....

 

[revmaynard]

It's basically a 91-01 kit. I slid the tube into the rubber accordion piece, trimmed the heat shield to clear the hose and there you go.

The clutch is still a little wonky after replacing the leaky internal slave. Double and triple clutching it works most of the time. I've currently got my AX15 being rebuilt so that will just go in instead of dropping the POS BA10 again to fix it. I got a JCR rear bumper kit that is a DIY. My buddy is welding it up for me since he's a boss with that stuff. Aside from that not much has changed with it recently. Right now the trans issues are the only reason my lockers/gears aren't done.

Just a shot with my buddies XJ.

I won MJ ride of the month on the Comanche Club forum. Here are the photos I sent over for it.

Is that JRC's weld up Comanche rear bumper?

 

[revmaynard]

Yep

 

[Ghost]

Yep

I saw that and am considering it for our 88 MJ. Looking forward to seeing it on.
