"Take 92" - YJ Linked with Nines
"Take 92" - YJ Link kit from Motobilt with Nines
For reference here is last build that had way to many changes in it so that is why I am starting a new thread.
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/jeep-hardcore-tech/1021890-impaks-wrangler-build-no-more-xj.html
So here is the Story..
After I wrecked my XJ racing it I decided I wanted an open top Jeep that my family of 4 could ride in and we could all enjoy it but then I also could go out with the guys on some hard trails and be able to keep up.
So After selling a bunch of parts I found a nice YJ
It is a 92 YJ with a XJ 4.0 and TJ NV3550.
My Plan is to rip out the dana 30 and 8.8 and replace them with 9's add a dana 300 and 4 link with sway a way air shocks.

See that button with the "^" ? press and hold unti you reach the desired temp and then slide the lower left side lever to "heat"....you'll be amazed at what gets done....now paying for the 'pane or heating oil, that is a different story. I hear ya on the cold ass temps....

then I placed my 14" Sway a Way air shock in at full compression to see if it cleans and I think I will be good.

why would you want to do that 4 link kit? it looks like it lowers the belly height like 4 inches??
Welded in some weld washer so I would have the correct size hole for my johnny joints that I am running
then I used a buddies 40" tire to see if I want to go that big and I am pretty sure I will stick with 37's

The skid is no lower than the factory skid. It looks deeper because the sides are flat and not angled in like the factory skid plate. The bottom of the skid also is even with the bottom of the links to help slid over things. A few people who have thought the same thing change their mind when they se it in person.why would you want to do that 4 link kit? it looks like it lowers the belly height like 4 inches??
