SW86

thats one sweet @$$ truggy!! :drool: :drool:

BTF front diff cover to match the rear lined, painted and installed. aligned the front end since i havent done it with the 33s on there.

just one but multiple times soooo fifty :D

woodchuck hard cider all day long. I'm more of a liquor man but when i do drink beer its woodchuck or some of my friends homebrewed stuff

all buttoned up. ZJ discs, spartan locker and BTF diff cover with lube locker. so so sweet

i need to build a shop already. i hate having to work on mine outside or part way in the garage. my dads a damn hoarder so the other half of the garage is full of $#!& he'll never use again :nuts: :fs1:

your moving along nicely. can't wait to see the whole truck when their done :thumbsup:

i had a lean on the drivers as well ever since i put on my 4.5 rough country/hell creek lift. i finally stepped up to 6.5 coils and shocks and it was gone. so it wasnt hell creek springs. it was $#!&ty RC products. my driver shock had to of died instantly. so id suggest checking those out.

8.25 swapped in. halfway only. now ive got to pull it and go have the perches burned on for good. tons better then spring under :banana: :banana:

yeah they will work. basicly from the doors forward MJs are almost exactly the same as XJs. i have RK long arms that the site says might not work with 1990 and earlier models, mines a 88. no issues what so ever. and yes depending on wear of the rear leafs its anywhere from 4.5-6.5. i know some people on here had to go a hair more then that with coils/spacers up front to level it off. that was only a hand full of people IIRC. also check out barnes4wd.com for longer perches when you do the swap to help fight that axle wrap. spring under sucks but gets the job done. just expect to beat and bang the leaf plates/shock mounts on everything! plus in mud they really do act like road graders and take up too much ground clearance IMO

looks good but why mount the D tabs down so low? seems like that would be an issue in some situations.

Thats a crazy good idea :cheers: I know Hondas do that because of ther engine swaps. Engine is too big?? Use hood spacers! haha. it works great. the MJ would slowly creep up in temps just sitting around or after hard 4wd use. now it just barely moves, if at all. you can feel the heat rolling out after i shut it down and sometimes i see the nonstop stream of heat waves pouring out. its great. heat rises anyway so it just flows right on out. i havent had many issues with water but then again we havent really gotten a heavy rain.

6.5 and 33s is the ticket. more then enough flex and the height is perfect IMO. 4.5 will leave you wanting more even with 33s. i ran 4.5 for the longest and it just didnt feel right to me. i was mainly on 31s but had 33s on a run or two. it got me through some $#!& but now at 6.5 and 33s it blows anything that gave me trouble before out of the water. i have RK long arms.

the trucks been backed into a small garage for days now. started the rear swap then came to realize the welding shop wasnt even open on the weekend. theres no way i can fit that top in there to throw it on

hood spacers installed :chillin: raised it up about an inch and half. should let out all that unwanted heat now

^^^ yup they are pretty good :cheers:

its going to be tough to match that guys flex ^^^^ but ill try stopped in to see my brother at work and thought today is the day I'm going up that ramp then i had to pop in the store and decided the curb was a good parking spot

you are dead to us now. leave or be escorted off the premises :rotf: hopefully youll stumble upon another in need of some love and you won't be able to pass it up. its in your blood now.

why not just take one to home depot and find one that matches up. thats what i did with my hood bolts but then again a junkyard would be another option. if you have any with MJs that is.

thats why you always go 4wd! finally using that locker huh :D jk jk! got some goodies from Rob at 4wd. thanks man!

somebody needs lockers :D

i thought about that. ill snap a pic tomorrow hopefully. ive got a killer sinus migraine :(

I went to get one from a 4 cylinder and it was way smaller around. Don't know about length

been listening to the band Phoenix a lot here lately. some of you might know them from a little movie called Shallow Hal. http://youtu.be/PvamJU_coUw

well i guess besides those two pics but those are baby rocks!
