DJM/78 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks CW , that gives me an idea . Sorry to hear about your mom . I lost mine when I was 9 . Its never easy . :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I do like that light rail you had on the front CW , looked good , pure and simple . :thumbs up: Thanks man, We threw that together as an after thought after building the rear bumper. It 4" sprinkler pipe. You can see the 90degree elbows welded on for the corners. Then I took a 6' section of 1.25" poop pipe and with a 1.5" bi metal hole saw, chopped off a 8" piece. Then came back to the chop saw and chopped a second. This got me two "uprights" with birds mouths ready to go. Then I doug around in the nuts and bolts till I found two giant bolts. I stuck them in the ends of the cross tube and burned them on/in. For mounting I welded on a piece of heavy 2" angle iron to the bottom and drilled mounting holes. Its now on my XJ I built up a couple years ago. My pop drove it as he was got back on his feet after my mom passed. I don't drive it much now, its a "extra" vehicle for us. The wife likes it for taking the dogs to the very as they can get in it by them selves. (Its lower to the ground) CW nice tires & rims on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landlubber Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 here's what I got: this was about 2 weeks after I got it. hadn't addressed little things yet (like tailgate handle) fixed now though. this is also when I realized the axle was about 1.5" off to the left side. had to snap all the u-bolts and re-position it.

comanche 88 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I never thought i'd say this but I actually like the way it looks with whitespokes on your MJ. My white CJ7 came with a set of whitespokes with winter tires and I just had this idea that they would look horrible so I never tried them on the car. Just might give them a try and see how it looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 The one thing I see in some of the flex photos is they can't steer lock to lock without rubbing. What good is that??? :shake: Here is a couple pictures of old pics of my XJ with 5" of lift 33/10.50x15's and cut fenders. It had 11.7" travel shocks and it maxed them out on extention. The shock under compression has 3/8" of travel left with the bumpstop fully compressed. It could steer from lock to lock without any rubbing when fully flexed. :thumbsup: Full stuff Close up of clearance and raised flare Full extention Ride height Link to the write-up http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical/technicalfiles/TPfenderFlares/FenderFlares.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche County Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Ok, I'll join in.... I added more bumpstops and limiting straps now due to the damage below,,,,notice how the yoke was banging the inside of the UCA...the tab holding the u-joint popped and the u-joint slid out of place.
