booty's build thread

Well some of you guys may know me from jeepforum, I was kidA until i got banned

. I guess I'll start by clearing that up, I received an infraction for "advertising w/o a vendor account" it was one of many which seemed to have become routine all by the same mod except for one of them. Basically i got pissed and proceeded to tell him to fuck off which resulted in my banning for life.

Anyways Ive had my jeep for about six months now, I bought it with no intentions of wheeling it, then i cought the bug. The problem was that its 2wd, i still tried lol.

Ok so the plan now is to basically completely over haul it. I have a AW4/242 going in, as well as a D30 4.56's locked, a D44 that needs to be built. Thats where I am now, just waiting on funds.

update: Well I sold the grand, I was sad to see it go but I found a real good deal on an xj so im going that route, much cheaper and less work.
basic stats on the xj:
1996 4.0
dynatrac 44 4.88's locked
hp30 4.88's locked
35's tomken LA's

It needs a bit of work, mostly cosmetic.

**Spr-T-23** · 05-10-2009, 09:37 PM

very cool, needs meatier tires though

**Goosed76** · 05-10-2009, 09:57 PM

agree- new tires, but nice find- and less time/effort in building it and saved money buying it already lifted/geared....

thanks. Yeah definitely, those will have to do for now. Until I can afford a set of 37's on beadlocks

Got other stuff to do first tough. That's an old pic. of it, it has a custom bumper, and some tube sliders. The front bumper is coming off and I'm getting another one built. The axles are getting trussed. Then I am going to get it looking good and a cage put in. That should be done by fall.

**booty** · 05-10-2009, 11:49 PM

TnT d30 truss ordered

I am going to go pick up a new housing tomorrow, get it on when it gets here. Get everything swapped over and ill be good to go, take it out for a test run.

**Derek33** · 05-11-2009, 12:51 AM

Those long arms look like twigs. Maybe its just the camera.

Nice rig tho. I've always loved xj's with bushwackers.

**ZJones** · 05-11-2009, 12:58 AM

Haha I knew you would end up selling your grand.

haha i still have it till the end of the month im gonna miss her, but i need money for the xj, now the xj is paid off.

**booty** · 06-08-2009, 02:58 AM

I had the top end rebuilt on the xj, put it back together this weekend. Ended up snapping a thermostat housing bolt in the head

. Decided to go ahead and drill it out, and ended up snapping an easy out bit inside

. So after about $50 of broken bits later I ghetto fabbed it back together(pics tomorrow)

.

**greengc4x4** · 06-08-2009, 03:11 AM

How much did you spend on that truss? What all mounts did you get with it?

**booty** · 06-08-2009, 03:17 AM

its was like $180, none. But i actually decided to go another route

**booty** · 06-08-2009, 03:20 AM

Something a little like this:

**FortCollinsZJ** · 06-08-2009, 04:40 PM

That doesn't kill ground clearance alot.... oh wait.

WTF? thats for a jumper, trussing underneath the axle is not great for a crawler.

**booty** · 06-08-2009, 05:54 PM

this rig will be doing more jumping than crawling. And it really isn't a big diffrence as far as clearance.
