4Mogger - thanks for the compliments. I'm waiting to see how yours works:smokin:

dukguy - I got my stuff from Exaxt. I forget off the top of my head what the costs were but they are all listed at http://www.exaxt.ca

At 50 MPH it runs around 2900 on the factory tach. It only sees that when I have to run between stretches of trail down the highway.

Maybe this weekend if I can find the time and somewhere to flex it up close to home.

Budget - what budget!:laughing: I went WELL over my budget about 6 months ago - so far the wife hasn't asked for a divorce but I'm sure she's not far away some days.:eek:

Me too-- started over the budget almost exactly 6 months ago. And now Christmas! All I asked for is a infrared thermometer to keep tabs on the running gear on the highway. If I buy anything else I will be living in the garage with my toys!

I know how you feel! I was trying to talk my way into just a low end camcorder for Christmas and I got "the look". Oh well, there's always next year! :D

Never had leaves on it since the 42s were on. Are you talking about the very first 2 pics on page 1? That was with 37s and the springs were just a compilation of leaves.

gutt 72 - No, not at 4 Wheel anymore. The XJ stays at home in the garage these days - I can drive around town but it won't be seeing any highway trips (except on the trailer):grinpimp:

Not much for updates at the moment - starting the work on the disc brake swap. Just waiting for a few more parts and I'll get some pictures up of that.
