jareds xj project

[feerocknok]

Did you build the sliders yourself? They look nice on the garage floor but would look nicer on the Jeep!

i had them built for me. they look great. they are modeled after jcr's ones. the only problem is i was going to weld them on, but they don't fit exact enough, so i need to redo the 1/4'' frame mounting plates, hopefully thats it.

 

update. i just installed a new tranny cooler tonight. i had to replace the old nasty leaking one. that was a big pain for such a simple job.

 

anywho more parts are on the way- a doug thorley ceramic header, high flow cat, and a dynomax muffler. all for 120 bucks

i got another little project going now. one of the degree shims in the rear decided to take a poop and fall out on me, so i had to install my new rubicon express shims. and new center pins. everything came apart real easy. i was planning on reusing the u bolts, but when i got the one side off and i inspected them i figured i might as well get some new ones. so tomorrow i am getting those new ubolts and installing my new shock in the rear at least.

 

i also tried out my harbore freight airbody saw. it is freakin awesome. it cuts thorugh sheetmetal faster than a woodchuck on crack. i just trimmed the rear wheel well a tiny bit where the tires would hit the lip. but i do recommend getting extra blades they can bend quite easy.

You always work on this thing in the dark or what??? I'd love to see what it looks like in the daylight all leveled out, you got any other pics?
