Exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I know I'd have to get new rims and a JK trackbar and Ive seen many people swap out the 44 for a 60 but I feel like it's the same debate most of us with XJs and MJs have with d30s and 35s, I know eventually I'll want to go bigger so I'm just going to skip that step and go right to 37s and I'm not a hardcore wheeler, I like to pick my lines out carefully and go slow so I feel like with my driving style and 37s I think a JK D44 would hold up just fine. I'm just starting my research but thanks again! -Nick

If you guys had a line on a set of JK 44s front and rear, that came with 4.10s and lockers would you stick em under your MJ? Of course you would have to redo all the axle brackets and maybe re-gear them but since they are a little wider and many people run 37s on them which I want to do. Would it be worth the work or should I not even bother Thinking about them and just build a HP44 and a D60? :idea: :dunno: -Nick

I'm afraid I might bump my head too, I'll get it in there and findout, I was suppose to get a crunched up front fender and cut out that rust and weld it in but I need to locate another fender. Also I have a 2 wheel problem :help: I grew up racing BMX then onto Motocross, so I have quite a few of everything you can imagine haha

Thanks mike :cheers: Here's a pile of parts I've accumulated and have to put in :wrench: Fan shroud, electric fan, sound bar from a Cherokee,driver side floor pan, 4.88 R&P with bearings for my rear axle and my or fab rear bumper isnt in the pic. Lots of stuff I have to do!

Jim has or had every possible vehicle known to mankind. I believe it! Also the Auto-X and drift scene around here is growing very fast! I planned on autocrossing my camaro this spring :roll:

If I were you I wouldnt weld on your rear shock mounts like that, I just put the u bolts through the plates and bolted them up, it looks like you have another 1" or so left on the ubolts to do it too

Looks like you had a good time dude, that water is a sweet color! My fenders are self clearanced too haha

Mine and my friends who lives next door :D

The newer 97+ mirrors are bolt on, I put some on my truck. Check page 12-13 in my build thread

Very nice looking trucks! Your son's truck looks immaculate! I was never a fan of the 2500 front end but it does look good on your truck :cheers:

Took a stroll down the beach yesterday and I think I may have taken my new favorite picture of my truck I haven't been working on my truck that much because I've been building my friends Cherokee, it's a sweet setup!

I have a job, at a supermarket packing out ice cream! It sucks!!!! The freezer is -12° and I'm in there for a major part of my shifts breaking down pallets and in the isles dealing with customers who happen to be a..holes! Nobodies hiring up here, and if they are, they don't want to hire a 19 year old kid :fs1: I had an interview with a company that lays down astro turf for colleges and stadiums, I'd be working my a55 off but making 5x more then what I make now which is def worth it! :clapping: :Rant off : I'll def get some pics of my custom mounts and the finished product! Can't wait to go back for Rausch! I just bought a Brand new pro comp steering stabilizer before rausch and after doing some high speed runs through some trails at the beach the other night my tie rod adjuster somehow smashed into the stabilizer :nuts: guess I need to make some changes up front, I've always been into the high speed stuff and after doing A LOT of research and fine tuning to my suspension my truck should be able to handle just about anything I'm going to pre-run, nothing like driving through the Baja at 50+mph! I'm headed towards making my truck a rock crawler- pre runner - expedition vehicle.... Not trying to make it the best at everything but just able to crawl, take some stuff with speed and if I wanted to camp out on a road trip, ill be able to be self contained okay back to reality I need to put in floor pans and do ball joints before I do anything else!

Went to the beach the other night, my friend took a time lapse with his fancy camera and ended up with this! I think its awesome Had a job interview yesterday and I'm really hoping to get the job and if I do expect some more awesome Jeep goodies!!!!

Didn't get my mounts made up yet but got the bumper clamped in place, it might go another 1" higher or so but you get the idea, it's an OR-Fab XJ rear bumper

Sorry to bring your hopes up but this was for last year :wavey: There will be the topless day event at Rausch May 19th and Nacfest which is June 21st

Why not 4.5 and 35s? :D just trim and bumpstop accordingly!

Congrats on the new truck, at least you don't live in a salt state and that beauty will last a lot longer :cheers:

I have a 44 but my stock cables are fine with my SOA

If I come across a money tree I'm gunna pickup some 2x6 box tube from the local steel yard and make my own rock rails, I have plenty of DOM :wrench: as for you judging the rc rocs comps, thats awesome!!!!! I've been dying to goto an event! I'm def making it to one this year If you have your truck ready before late June there's NAC fest on the 21st!

Indeed I do :D wayyyyyy back in my thread there's a pic of a set of 4.88s for the rear, I just need the front r&p and a Aussie locker and I can put em in! Although all the guys I was running with have one or both axles locked and I kept up just fine :thumbsup:

That only happened because you went faster than 88 mph 8)

If i had the guap thatd make for a sweet daily thats considered totaled?

Yup its the 19th, I wasnt sure and just checked :D A member from my club is setting up the event at Rausch this year, should be raffles and tons of sweet sponsors! there will also be a RC-ROCS race that day. Lots of cool stuff happening that weekend :waving:

Coming through the gauntletand making it up the easier side of crawler ridge :cheers: I don't know how to make the vid pop up in my post :hateputers: jgwa-c_62bA 3R69z6-OcGs theyll be more vids later!
