I really like that a lot,I wanted to do the olive drab on my old mj and rivet all the body lines, you ever see a comanche helicopter? how the panels are all riveted at the seams? just thought it would look cool....

watchamakalit Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Looks good. Glad to see another MJ in the Hoosier State. Heck who knows before long we may out number the cheeseheads..... :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullyjeep98 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Not sure of the power the rear gears and spool will be here monday and installed sometime during the week. It has 3.55s in the rear now and I drove it down the street and was shocked the all 4 squirrels could push it as well as it did. As far as the XJ goes it is gone but it is already up for sale and for cheap. I can't wait till it's done. Pretty much it just needs a few finishing touch and it will be ready for the trails. My goal is next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullyjeep98 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Got alot of stuff done in the past week. I made a driveshaft for the front , got my gears and spool in, got the front air locker wired up and airline ran. I also did alot of other little thing too. Got to flex it out, The rear flexes awesome with 2 leaves taken out of the packs. The front needs different shocks, they aren't quite long enough. Now I am working on making an anti wrap bar for the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
