ATTN ALL project "BUILT not Bought" 89 xj

action pic bumper worked great went down a trail that got tighter and tighter then it just ended so i had to trail blaze a little not a good "tread litely" story but i didnt want to try and back my way out. only a few 3-4 inch saplings were injured during this trip

It looks ready to hit the trail

looks good josh

Ready for rocks.

now that im done with the bumper i have started moving my way back im working on a fender trim ive got the back done but ive got to figure out how im going to do the front ive also started my rock slider/ step rails the should be done tomorrow. ive still got to get a 2x6 0r 3x6 rectangle tubing so i can do my rear bumper and some more tubing to do tube fenders. more pix soon

How it look from the drivers seat? Any view the tril/road issues?

I bent it my self I have a pipe bender. And no visibility issues.

looks awesome Josh

well i got the rock sliders done they just need prime and paint. on to the next project! rear bumper and tube fenders. and much much more to come.

Looking good! Are bringing it out for the poker run? All the cool kids are doing it!

Yes i will be coming out to the poker run

here are some more

damn josh that thing is looking sweet...but do something about that exhaust...lol

Sliders are nice

yes troy i will be adressing the exhaust its deffenatly crappy looking

so guys ( ehem NICK!!) listen up im really going to need some advise on this one I want to link/relink my suspension 3 link in the front and 4 link in the rear... ive got the most of the research on the mounts and materials etc and i know i can do it ill just need to gather all the materials and plans but im going to need to get the angles and measurements i also want to give it a little more lift but the springs will have alot to do with that right? i will be doing an axle swap as well when i get the axles... but do i upgrade the axles then the suspension? the suspention then axles or get everything and do it all at once? i know getting everything together first is the best but whats second best? and probably going to be a full with upgrade! let me know im itching like an effing crackhead!

do it all at once, especially the rear axle. setting up mounts for a 4 link on the axle side can be pretty time consuming so you really only want to do it once.

the 3 link is a different thing though, since your stock front axle is already setup to accept a 3 link design you could go ahead and build the front suspension first before the axle swap if you really wanted to.

and as for the angles...


this works really well

thanks nick beware i will probably be contacting you here there and every where on this... i do want to go ahead with the front soon because im having the most headache with it right now... and the rear is pretty solid right now.

we should name it blue rhino
