don't get too excited it's still "just a JEEP" haha

[Not A Toy]

heres the top mounts i made for my shocks.. got sick of eating my old bushings up.

[Not A Toy]

and heres the before and after with the bushwackers i put on..  you can see that it cleared up plenty of space for a 33 at least!   the tires on it are a 31x10.50 cooper discoverer stt.. also me and fear of runner rebuilt the rear leafs  (toy included gag)  so it sits alot better then it did. it was saggin bad.. the new leafs can fan open when my tires droop thanks to fearofrunner  and these leaf clamps..

[NorCalToy]

how do you like the coopers?

[skipnrocks]

Cool man!  Now you really need some larger tires for your rig!

[Yoat Goat]

I'm with norcaltoy, how do you like em?

[Not A Toy]

theyve never given me an ounce of problems, there are tiny little chunks out of them but nothing like what Ive seen the bfg mudders do. they squish well too when they are aired down. But I love them. they are what im going to upsize too. they've been wearing awesome too cant really tell that theyve worn at all and i drive it often.

I want to watch this one... 35s will fit! I like the after shot, before looked pretty week, this is a nice xj, I would rock it.

thanks man! yeah the only reason I wont do 35's is the extra cashto re-gear. maybe I will buy gears this year let the 31's dissapear off of it then buy 35's next year? I do need a locker first tho! im thinking im going to get a arb and run it off CO2.

[KDXSR5]

yeah, lockers before rubbers, haha.

They're just as bad as the BFG NAT sorry man, once you get them out on the rocks aired down you'll see it come off. APTOYOTA (or alan) has thoses 33 coppers and they are getting chewed up from his body alone.

Yeah I figured I hadent been rough enough on em..

x2 on the tire wear. not a bad starting point though, what route are you plannin to go with the jeep? daily driver/hard wheeler, offroad only rig eventually?

[Not A Toy]

Until I get the loan paid down I dont wanna go toooo nasty with it.. once its paid for tho Im gonna tear into it! so for now its kinda a dd altho I have two cars  to drive around 02 focus and 04 corolla.   so for now its a DD/hard wheeler I guess...    need a locker as soon as my taxes get here and im gonna do a long arm kit up front!

Why man??   Cant just show some respect to a fellow wheeler!  I know of several xjs with 200,000  plus miles and still run reliably and get wheeled!

not cool.

All I am saying is when people wheel jeeps they put in a Chevy motor, ford axles, and dodge transmission. They just use the jeep body. But I wish the guy best of luck with his XJ. By all means  hope he has the best of luck with it. Just from what I have observed that is how i came to my opinion.

Nice backpedal! 

Search around and mabye by the time your ready you wll have a dana 44 or possibly a 60 to swap in that beast. I envy your motor, and sometimes wish I had that much go go power.

haha it has a chrysler 8.25 rear supposedly a lil stronger then the dana 35.. hard to find lockers for aussie doesnt make one lockright does but im not going that road..  ill probably end up buying a arb here pretty quick..

build build build!!

I plan to man! It will be about 1-2 months before i can get the long arm kit. but while im waiting im going to do extended brakelines and hopefully get a locker!     





whats everyones vote... ARB on CO2 or detroit?  its kind of a DD but I can drive my car (if I have too)

There goes again pete, your never going to get away from the negativity of owning a jeep on a toyota post board. Sorry it's just a toyota thing i guess (no point intended )  Anyways i can vouch for NATs XJ, it's got gobs of power, both the interior and exterior are in beautiful shape, it'll out flex a marlin leaf sprung front axle any day, and he does wheel it pretty good for as much as he still owes on it.  Just hopefully when you do get the locker and 33's the ole axles hold up and you can rub it in the faces of people that talk trash on it.

Oh and DOPIE way to build up them posts bud by talking trash before you hit #10 

[Not A Toy]

   ahh haha I wasn't gonna start with the name callin but I definitely thought it.. we should take it easy on the newb tho     its obvious he has no tact or respect for other people.        opie technically copyin someone elses saying isn't your opinion...

That was completely uncalled for. This may have started as a yota board but everyone is accepted and bashing is not, especially not on personal build threads.

All I wanted was to be accepted     I knew it was a risk not posting in jeep tech   

          Thanks to the rest of you positive people!      

oh yeah and "dopie"    to
