89eliminator

Picked up my newest project. 88 longbed. 4.0/AW4/D44 rear Lowered an unknown amount. Going to be my street ride once the salt stops but will eventually start to mess with it. Plans are unknown at the moment.

probably gets lowered to the line at that stage. thats how ours work in certain areas.

probably fell off the carrier not a good time when that happens

things are currently being worked out with the badlands.... i'll post more later

heat obviously would be my first choice. i've also had luck using the steering to my advantage. put it back on with the bolts about halfway in. wedge something between a bolt and the inner C of the axle.

since craigslist and then marketplace took over, jefferson has really dimished in regards to quality content.

it was in perfect condition, till i backed into a tree with it down while i was carrying a buddies spare tire. mine will probably become wall art.

36"x17" at its widest part. i thought about cutting out a section of my tailgate but idk if i will.

Did some more panels. Turns out I’m not very good at the fine details haha. Panels don’t fit as tight as I’d like. I have all the hardware to make a functional tailgate and actual Jeep decals. Still have to weld in the mounting tabs.

it sucked lol. no I'm not sure it came from the factory that way. was just how it was when i bought it.

no pics and no VIN registry

thats what i was getting at. u-bolts and such had same amount of rust as everything else

i mean i owned it 15 years ago so i don't know what paperwork I'm going to get lol. but it was verified by opening the cover. who know if it was factory but it showed no signs of being swapped out

perfect guy for the 1000th post lol

you can get 3.07 in Auto 4.0s as well. my 88 had it.

i ran them such a long time ago that they've likely been redesigned at some point so my opinion may not matter....but i was not very impressed with them. i went offroad once and broke the main leaf in both packs. Rustsy was an absolute nightmare to deal with. ride was much better with SOA and stock leaf springs. flatter the arch the better the ride will be. crazy to think i've been screwing with this thing for 14 years haha.

don't ask me lol. i don't drive it on the road. Offroad is awesome though. I keep mine riding low cause i just do crawling so i doubt they'd ride well on the road. I only have about 5" of chrome showing on these 16s.

Dang you’re right!

to be fair i've had this thread long before IG lol. thanks!

Winter projects are starting. Started making my bed panels. Never really done stuff like this so this is my first attempt using a jig saw and fence. Got some new aluminum links in from Wide Open Design And toying around the idea of mounting my spare similar to how I had one years ago. Not sure if I’ll do it or not.

don't waste your time with radius arms. go 3 or 4 link. way better performance characteristics.

any XJ front lift will work. some crossmembers will need to be modified if they wrap the unibody rails at all.

you lost me at mice

congrats. awesome looking truck!

i run it on mine. miles ahead of the factory setup
