"xjallday"s xj buildup

[N-Smooth]

my neighbor has been building this jeep for a while, he actually had the lift on stock axles and went on his mission immediately following lifting it.
he now has a fullwidth 9" and hp44 that he just put in
he is almost done with it.
tires are 37" mtrs (duh)
hickey built the front bumper as a trade for some tires. we both like the look af the bumper, i think it turned out great! good job hickey

the suspension is a custom longarm kit using ford style bushings at the uniframe end.
it has 6" rusty springs with 2" spacers f/r
he moved the rearend back some with new leaf mounts we measured the wb at 103 today

its a cool build for sure, it will be fun once he actually wheels it. i have no part in the build, i am busy enough with my crap as it is.

Looks pretty cool. Only thing that I see that I might change is the track bar....maybe make it a bit longer, so that it would have a better angle.

Roger that, need to move the TB axle mount over by the coil and up to match the draglink angle as close as possible or bumpsteer will be an issue.

i thought that as well, but we'll see how it does. that is something that is easily adjusted anyway.
the amazing thing about this jeep is that he has been building it outside with no cover, snow, rain... whatever

I think thats awesome someone is that motivated I had mine in my garage and if it was cold outside it was too cold to go work on it usually (Yeah, I'm a pansie )
