Last year we used this jeep for recovery on the top of backdoor during the LCQ and on Aftershock during the main race. I was doing alright on the trails at the Hammers but wanted to be able to move a little quicker so new shocks and bump stops were ordered up.

Our local fab guy (Jeremy from DBS customs, Cal rocs 35" and under spotter team #426) has been helping me out with the welding that I can't do for a while. In June we put the Fox shocks up front and he built me a kickass rear bumper shortly after.

Finally he had enough time to take care of the rear end of my XJ, here are the fab porn pics:

Here we go with the fronts:

Today, Jeremy built my double sheer pitman arm:

And we added some new paint to freshen up the cage:

Incredible XJ. I love the double shear pitman arm, and how do you like your AA sye? That's what I'm going to be running so I'm curious.

 

[Master Pull]

The AA sye works great, I've had it in my Tcase for a few years now. If you are going to the trouble of cracking the case, install a 2lo kit from Teraflex at the same time.

Yeah I've been thinking about the super short sye and possible the wide chain kit. But havn't really considered the 2 low kit as I can't picture I'd use it much.

Ever go to Moab?

If you get it, you will use it. It is one of the best mods for the 231 case. I would only consider not doing it if you have a selectable front locker. I use mine for bombing through trails when I don't need all the traction but want to turn a little easier.
