Pete M Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 no problemo. by the way, you want a 242. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit_MJ Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Change of plans on the build for Axles, found a killer deal on a 31spline 8.8(with 3.55s and Disc Brakes) setup for an XJ with matching HPD30 locally. Deal comes with front and rear drive shafts from the XJ. Now just need to figure out wheel spacers, gearing and locker for rear axle for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete M Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 more gearing is better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit_MJ Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Pete, what gearing do you like for street duties with trail riding on weekends on 33's? I'm thinking 4.56? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete M Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 4.56 is what I would suggest as a rule of thumb for more street than trail, 4.88 if more trail than street. it's a bit up to personal opinion though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit_MJ Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Radio install was painless. How are you guys getting RCA cables and amp turn on wire to the head unit? Area behind radio is sealed pretty tight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
