The fab work is impressive! Are those 39" IROKS on a XJ?

Quite impressive! Your build-up has given me a lot of ideas for my own XJ. And I now realize that I have a long way to go!

any tricks on getting the ox to engage? i have one one my front dana44 and it goes in smooth but doesnt always lock right away i have to drive it for a while or lift it in the air and turn the tires seperatly.

I have never used a OX before so I dont have any tips, but I dont think there is any way to make it lock any sooner. My old ARB did not always lock right off the bat it probably takes some tire moving to get it all fully locked.

update we finally got our steering from P.O.S, My dad was bleding the system today. I thought some might like to see the home-made air intake we made to reroute the intake to the passenger side.

it's 2.5" exhuast pipe bent and heated to fit the stock flage on the stock rubber intake boot.

most the paint underneath is done. It is time to paint the cage, that should be fun:-\

Thanks- My dad tried to bleed the system before starting the engine, but when he turned the ram all the way to one side it got stuck there and wont move back, it might just be air in the system but I don't know for sure. I will have to call Station on Monday.

update on the steering He finally fired up the jeep and the steering worked the air out and now runs like a champ . Just like they say 1 finger turning it's sweet.

we where having some problems with the front 44 ox locking in, but it seems like the cable just needs to be adjusted, we did not get a chance to look at it to close today.
