sth5591 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'm wondering if anybody has adapted the HD offroad stiffeners to an MJ? I don't know how the "frame" rail is shaped compared to an xj, but thought maybe I could use these and just cut them off at the back of the cab? These are the ones I'm looking at: http://hdoffroadengineering.myshopify.com/products/xj-frame-stiffeners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I would think you would want the stiffeners to run the length of the frame and not just half way. What good are they doing if they end at the cab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 MJ frames are already way stiffer and stronger than XJ frames. :thumbsup: MJs were designed to carry waaaay more weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 From what I have read they all need to be modified for an MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The frames are only the same as far as the cab support under the door,beyond that the MJ frame starts growing taller and the XJ frame stays about the same. Basically the stiffeners will only fit for the first foot or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I could use some midsection stiffeners. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogmorgo Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Is it a girdle or a corset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Neither. Lower midsection than what those are used for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yeah, the MJ unibody rails under the cab are quite different than those under an XJ. About the only place they're the same is from the front bumper mounts back to the lower control arm brackets. From there, they differ alot. Here's a Hornbrod lower midsection stiffener...........:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
