Thanks Lead, I was hoping someone made these. I did not know JKS did so.
I thought bar pin ele. were my only fix.

Well, I am resurrecting this thread as I have several things that I am wanting to do to my XJ very soon and since I can't go out in the cold and DO them right now, I might as well talk about them.    blahblah.gif

Besides, I know that you all have plans for getting your rig ready for the spring and summer wheeling season, so... let's share!

Here is my list:

  • New rear axle (either D44 or rebuilt and upgraded Chrysler 8.25) with appropriate Rockcrusher diff cover
  • Probaby regear at same time of axle change
  • Rear disk brake conversion
  • New front brakes
  • Rock Rails
  • New rear bumper (Tire carrier or not???  That is the question.)

There are a few other misc. things that I can't remember off the top of my head, but there you have it...

WHEN AM I GOING TO DO ALL OF THIS?!?!?!?!?!

Well after the mud pie we drove in down at Haspin a couple of weekends ago I've decided it's time for a winch.  I've went with the Backbone System from Detours.  I talked to Mark there and he will be making some small mod's to it so I can use it with my WP bumper.  I needed the d-ring attachment points to be lengthened slightly and it was no problem on Mark's end.  I will fab up some mounts to attach the bumper to the Backbone.  I should have it next week sometime.

Now I have to save up some cash for the winch.  I was impressed with the SmittyBilt XRC8 that pulled about everyone out that day.  I think I'm going to go with it.  Price is nice, and I won't be using it all THAT much I hope.evileye

It is all dried out from Haspin.   Now I just need to get the MPG's above 5.  Have to go and get the codes read and see which sensors to replace.  I also have to clean out the exhaust and CAT.   Everytime I start it, it shoots black dust onto the floor.... evileye
