Wowwwwww.... What a monster Jeep u have creared........... Probably the biggest in the club............. Imagine this giant in the 4wd show with one wheel on a 44 gallon drum...........

[Dieselcon]

Wow Is an understatement.... Very nice indeed. I'm sure I saw this on one of 4wd action episodes...I love my JKU but could easily swap if you like. .

Man there's a lot of room under there witht the coilovers, looks real tidy and plenty of flex. So when is it coming out on a club trip

Cheers

I've been out on a few trips with the club.. but as those who came along know too well, the coils would often fall out at full flex! I didn't want to loose wheel travel by limiting it, but even 7.5" coils with extended bump stops were still falling out at times...this is the reason for the coilovers. They have reduced the amount of flex slightly but overall work well are are nice on the road. I may look at playing around with the rear set up in the future but this is it for now.

I still run the 37" wrangler MTR's for everyday use, but used the 38" Swampers for the build. I haven't run the swampers on the XJ yet as I still need to swap CV's and make a little more room in the wheel wells for off road use with the 38's.

38's.......... you use to run those on the patrol didn't you? Also how come the coil overs are angled towards the back?

Yeah mate..but not on the XJ yet. The coilovers are angled backwards because of their length and the space available to locate the upper mount. But it also gives me more ability to angle them inwards at the top to maintain correct spring loading throughout the travel range from full flex to compression.
