MReeceW's XJ build

[MReeceW]

Well did some shit to my shit then I wheeled my shit and did more shit to my shit.

Added dodge brake lines.




Then I wheeled my shit.


And then at mabell zuki hill crushed my rocker and bent my rub rail on my slider. So I started this project.









Also bent my tranny crossmember so bad that it fucked up my already custom t case linkage, so In the pictures you can see a piece of 2x8 1/4" wall box tube that will be used in the making of a flat belly for my pile. And I have a boostwerks shift linkage in the mail.

[MReeceW]

Finished my flat belly skid and also added a ladder bar since the front portion of my leafs were starting to look a little flatter than they should...

Belly skid has a tranny skid in front and a cat skid since I've ripped it off a few times and getting tired of destroying o2 sensors when they hit the floor





Also a boostwerks shift linkage, ooowwhhh ahhhh


And the ladder bar, which is tied into the floor and the uniframe rail

And then I wheeled it....
Well after finishing the belly skid, moving the sliders up and adding the traction bar I got to take it to one of my clubs hardest local trails, only fucked up 2 things
#1 I waylayed my steeering. (Drivers tire slid off a rock and the rear diff got pegged against another and It was just enough room to be completely on my steering with no front tires on the ground. I managed to bend the drag link and the tie rod all in one shot. We got the drag link straight again and the tie rod straighter but it got hit a few more times afterwards so its still not perfect. The plan is to buy RR steering, yeah I know the dead spot, but I was able to fix it on my f150 by using upper stud style shock bushings. And I'll probably sleeve the rr also.

#2 I managed to hit my rear yoke on a rock and broke 1 bolt for the straps and lost my rear wheel drive. I have already drilled and u-bolted it so all is well now back there.


No here are some pictures and videos
Playing around in between obstacles.





Heres me and my giant pry bar fixing my slider... I hit it so hard the bottom of the door hit it. Stupid unibodys





Fixing bent steering


Heres a video of me walking one of the obstacles

Nice! How did the Jk control arm work for a tire carrier?

It worked great but the bumper couldn't handle it.
