    Default Rob's Xj back to life



    So yesterday morning I bought the jeep a lot of new goodies!
    Over the next week or two she is getting a face and performance lift!

    New black Projector 35wat 6000k hid headlamps
    Complete HD steering replacement kit: ball joints, tie rods, drag links and adjusting sleeves.
    Set of 4 6" lift Skyjacker 7000 series shocks
    Smittybuilt 56 off road jack
    Spartan Dana 30 27spline autolocker
    Custom fab ford 8.8 31spline mini spool complete locker
    Complete polyurethane bushing kit
    Rear shackle polyurethane bushing kit
    Rubicon express superflex lower control arms
    Lime green shock boots X6
    G2 4.88 ring & pinion gear set for Front & Rear
    Custom made front bumper 1/4 steel with winch mount,baby stinger and dual Dring mounts
    New 1.5" trans lowering kit

    & I'm gonna make some custom fender flares out of diamond plate as well as repaint the whole truck black & paint steering/suspension, trim & jack Lime green.

    Also planing on having my Kids help me paint my front & Rear diff covers like Jack-o-lanterns then clear coat and install them.

    Yeah, this will be cool. Who's building the bumper?

    Fun idea with getting the kids involved!

    Got a lot done today. Got the jack painted to match the jeep, Lime green & Black. Picked up 16cans of gloss black at Walmart for $.97 each and went to town on the exterior of the jeep today. Has lots of runs but I Dont care about the paint anyways its my off road toy and I like to scratch it

    Also repaired swaybar links and painted the sway bar & links lime green to match the paint theme.

    Gonnt do the roof rack and door handles in lime green as well. Will post pics tomorrow when I'm finished.

    So I got Screwed again with this guy who was supposed to repair my axle. I'm tired of trying to repair it so. If I go to the junk yard, how do I know what ford 8.8 has 373 gears inside?
