pingpong Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Flat black spraypaint ranks up there with beer and donuts. I like it, cause it almost always matches whatever I am wearing :D I see a postal jeep in the yard screaming for some full widths and cage :twisted: Maybe even a 4.3 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingpong Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I recommend you upgrade that diff cover to something with a lil beef. They are thin and bend real easily, and are a PITA to seal after they get tweaked :brows: I used the BTF Kryptonite cover on mine when I had the 8.8 under Pong.... that thing can take a hit :D You going to keep the front coils or going leaf sprung? I got some ideas kicking around in my twisted mind about doing some leafs on a xj/mj, and trying to get it so it can be offered as a kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88swampedmj Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 yea iam goin for leafs up front.. i really don't like coils my experiences with them havent been good so iam hoping leafs will solve this. here's a few pics of the 8.8 under it.

Massachusetts sucks for stuff like that. There is some stupid math formula meant to figure out the maximum lift for any vehicle. The MJ is 3.2" I think...legally :roll: :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
