:eek: damn bro! thats one tall XJ. gonna get a cage for that thing? youll probably need it with that high COG.


but killer rig man.


EDIT: luv the coilovers:flipoff2:

looks like a wallet thinning XJ ........i like the suspension! too bad your goona trash it huh?

It already has a cage in the front half but I do plan to add the rear half

sweet!!!!

Have you flexed it out yet?
I'm wondering how far forward your front tire, and how rearward your rear tire ends up at full stuff? (any pics?)

Sweet rig dude.
I would EXO-CAGE it.
ONE TALL RIDE!

I just cannot stand exo's, if ya are gonna go that far, why not just build a buggy

how did you reinforce the unibody's sub-frame where the control arms mount? I'm guessign you'll be going to some much larger tires, plus the weight of those axles. If you ever lift a tire, not saying you will...that unibody may get a little too tweaked. I'm sure you know that and did the right thing up front though...just looking for a close up pic of your home brew work.

Kinda Ironic your rig sits so damn high and you hate exo's..... probably the kinda person who hates bumpstops because your afraid your gonna lose travel......

Forget all that if you plan on dropping it about 5" at least

Nice XJ! I do think you need to lower it!!!You will lay it over!:flipoff2:

guys, i think your wastin your breathe. dont you guys know that full width dana 60's are magnetic to the ground and wont let you roll. hell you can drive straight up buildings with'em dont ya know! :flipoff2:

Baaaaaaaaahahaha... beat me to it! I was thinking the same damn thing! :D

Fawk, at what point did I say that was the final lift height, I am already working on getting down some by playing with spring rate combinations, I just don't want it to end up too stiff or too soft

I was going to say "Please tell me you are joking" ...then I saw your sig. :rolleyes:

Chill dude, we're all just jabbin' at you, it's a common occurance around here. :flipoff2:

Hell, your one step ahead of me, at least yours can sit on it's own tires!!! :D

looks like a fun project, but as stated its really tall for rock crawling...

If you go softer springs you will lower it some but stability will decrease...

Looks like a fun rig to play with, but still too tall for alot of wheelin.
Muddin?

Yea I know, I had to start mounts at some point to get a reference with springs Still gotta play with spring rates and adjust the mounts accordingly. Someone had asked earlier about frame, I had some 3/16' channels custom made to cap the existing unibody rail and seam welded it . under that is a 1/4" 2x2 welded to the bottom of that for mounting points, basically like C-rocks. It has 2x2 cross braces. one that is used for the transmission cross member and the other as mounting point for the wishbone link in the rear. I have been using 1/4 plate to build all the brackets. The front hoops are 1 1/2" .250 DOM.

Ooohhh...

you mean coilovers are adjustable for height....


Ahh, give the guys a break, maybe they didn't know ;)

No what I mean is I am still trying to get a spring rate I am happy with and then I will adjust the mounts accordingly

I got it,
I was funnin' on them, not you (not so funny now though)

sounds backwards to me. i would think you'd want the mounts where they will allow the travel and ride height your lookin for and then find a rate that works.

can't wait to see that (getting strapped ) on the 'Con :flipoff2:

It's a little high for my preference. Maybe you can swap out the CO's for some smaller ones.

SeanP

Maybe you just need bigger tires. LOL:flipoff2:

after all the input as to how tall it is and its flopability? How the fawk is he going to get it out of the garage? Looks like the roofline and the garage door may be on the same level? maybe let the air out of the tires to clear the door? or worse, take the tires off and roll it out on a jack, then reinstall the tires? Just an observation dood, not knocking your hard work. Looks nice just a little tall, even with full width 60's.

I think that thing is awsome. Just need some bigger tires. What coilovers are those?

16" travel Sway-aways and it is getting lowered some. There I have given in to the Pirate crowd LOL

you just need bigger tires :flipoff2:

*They* do now ~ :D :p :D :p


BTW ~ that looks freakin sweet man.

That front axle looks pretty close the inner fender well on the first pic. I guess when you lower it down it will push it out a lil, just curious if your trying to push your wheelbase out more or staying near stock. I like the coilovers and interior tube work though. Got any pics how you did the front coilovers in the engine bay??

thanks,
Rob

Theres a rig that i could see running the new 49" IROKs. God damn, its tall enough anyway. I still like my 38s on 8" lift and no fenders personally.

Nice work though.

Here's an Idea, Put your gas tank in the bed and push that rear 60 back about 10". And put some 44s on that bitch, that thing looks like the wind will blow it over.:flipoff2:

Oh yeah, what the hell do you plan on towing with that bitch?

Dropped it back down some, and I left the hitch on for a pull point
