d30 polish
nice work
Just noticing the awesome welding skill that went into that RTI ramp and those control arm skids..
You must know a pretty cool guy...
Oh and you will be very happy with those axle tube seals everytime you go in the mudd and deep water.. I love mine...
Carl
yeah those tube seals should be pretty cool , i got them on the cheap too $50 for the seals and like $170 for the yukon joints
stupid Renegade
notice the RTI on that ramp, almost 2x the score achieved by the grand there that day and i was in 2wd
is that sig pic from redcreek?
finally got my axles setup, still waiting on teh driveshafts to be finished tho
hp30 with lockright and alloy joints/shafts (+
iron 44 with full detroit ()
4.56
driveshafts finished and installed
and i got some 760s installed in some spare spicer shafts for spares
vroom vroom
i think this is where i am going to keep it for a while. only thing on my 'shit id like to do list' is get a decent trans/engine skid. but at least now i am ready to rock
bout time you started wheeling that thing, the pic of it flexed out on the ghey little washout is gettin old. you must be spending to much of your time illegally street racing that rustang.
racing POS vtec's and chitbox ZJ's owns
im ready to rock and roll this POS on the trail
oooohhh!!! a rubicon!!! actually this guy was from TX and he happened to be in the same club as the previous owner of the xj (ya know cause i bought my stuff built already cause im lame
my friend with the xj on 33" TSL's should have some action shots, althought it was nothing really hardcore, just some little hills and stuff, ya know TJ terrain
2 back to back weeks of wheelin. finally got the axles setup right. it was nothing too difficult, but navigation trails designed for SWB TJ's in a suv results in dented sheetmetal. hit the rear quarters and rear doors alot, almost took out the rear glass a few times
week2
week 2
1st trip out i noticed i was making contact with the axle yoke ears. ended up adding 3 washers per steering stop. i think that fixed the binding of the axles
yup still in one piece
pic ho'in
this thing was amazing. 350 v8 swap, headers etc, SOA, 36x13.50 IROKS, locked f/r, restored CJ7
yup that's me. didnot want to break teh camera
nice pics man. Keep em coming.
afraid to show your face?? i would be too, if I looked like you.
nice pics. whats next on the TO DO list?
wheelin it
might get the trans skid sometime like i said, also mabey alloy usa rear shafts as well if i can figure out if the TJ D44 set will work (the seals and such)
one small problem with the new rebuilt front end oun the last trip out. the yoke was all loose and shit when i got back. took it back to the gear guy and he fixed it.
changed the diff fluid on the new gearset after 700 miles and some 4x4 action.
It came out BLACK with alot of crap in it. normal i know, but is is amazing how much junk gets in there in break in.
75w-140 royal purple full syntetic was used for the change. for break in i was running 80w-90 RP
(normal?)
also ran the rear breather all the way up to the firewall with a ricer vent on there. took 11' of rubber fuel line 1/4" ID
umm, i also sort of grinded down the housings on both axles so the covers lined up smooth with no lip or edge to hang up on. removed the holochrome bling bling bolts off the crane cover (except for the bottom 3) kinda a PITA and pointless up top and looks like i might strip the hex key out eventually. back to 12 point bolts
front ground down:
d44
oh and the gear shop cranked down my caliper bolts to like 30 ftlbs+ so a couple stripped and fell out, so i got to fix those
im gonna upload the pics in alittle bit
I don't know why shops crank those bolts down so much, they call for 12 ft pounds. Anyway, I put hellicoils in all four of mine, seem to be working very well!
the helicoil fixed the brakes
more pics:
my favorite shots:
later
do you never wheel with LWB rigs? around here TJ's and ZJ's/XJ's wheel pretty different terrain.
most full size rigs down here do one thing: MUD BAWGGGGGSSS
not really my thing
there usually are one or two LWB jeeps that go, there was a WJ on like 31's and a ZJ i think. but yeah mainly retards SWB who floor it up obstables to make it up
i point and laugh then turn up the AC

i have not updated this in a long time.
anyway Things currently fawked up on the XJ, mostly just a list to get me to fix some junk on this thing for the next ride in Feb.
1) tranny cooler line leaking
2)mystery leak on drivers side inner fender (possibly PS box, dont really know....)
3) rear brake shoes are shot i think, maybe cylinders going bad
4) i think the cv joint in the rear Ds is bad
5) 2 out of 3 (2 lca + t-bar) front RE superflex joints shot or something is loose up there
