Zips 2.0 My 98 build

[Luke95]

Plans for it are as follows
Pull my 3.5 RE stuff over to my new jeep
Add a e fan in front of the radiator
Swap in the 8.25 I have
Find some 33s
Shut up and wheel it.

Add a e fan in front of the radiator

Why? Fans in front of a radiator do more bad then good. They are more restrictive and wont really add an extra cooling.

Oh you started another build thread? What a surprise, I bet this one will be worth reading, much like the other 4,000.

Quite possibly the best picture ever.

But seriously guys, let's get back to the tech here, I wouldn't want to derail a thread.

 

[ROBZ95Xj]

the stock mech fan and elc fan are plenty, if your to do anything get a ZJ hd fan clutch(search) stop wsting your time and money on silly things and make it a reliable dd/wheeler

 

[Luke95]

Ok I will do
Current plans
33s
V8 steering

Plans update
Also going to build a front bumper now. My current one is bent from the old owner and so I'm going to do a simple one like Doug's.

H8pvmnts engine stand in my jeep

Shocks and track bar ready to go in

Plans for the rear are bastard pack with jeep leaves the factory pack then Im going to go with the autozone shackle keeping it cheap. Ordering some small stuff then I just have to wait for the axle to be done, so Im thinking lifts going on in 2 weeks :smoker:

Suggestions or does brand just not matter? :helpme: I was thinking rubicon express

 

[kastein]

I had teraflex boomerang shackles on my old XJ. They were pretty bulletproof, I sure never damaged them. If I hadn't left it behind in PA I would have pulled them.

I don't know what's on the MJ but it's some aftermarket shackles I got from lobsterdmb used. They are mild lift shackles for an XJ but roughly stock for an MJ, I just needed new ones because rotten stock shackles don't agree with my driving style.

 

[foxwar71]

Teraflex shackles are super beef. I hit and drag mine everytime out and they're still fine. I know mine are for roughly 1.5" lift, unsure if they make a smaller lift version.

Teraflex Revolvers right?!?!?

 

[Outlander560]

i have the teraflex ones as well...super beef..autozone shackles are those universal craps that are supposed to be used on f-150s and Chevy's to lower them...i dont like/trust them and I sure a shit wouldn't recommend offroad use with them.
