XJ is one of the few vehicles that can make a cheap set of steelies look great!

That tnt custom truss for the 44 looks good

[kylemcgeever]

Very classy build, I love it. I think a roof rack and some lights would really add some character. The flat top looks awesome too though.

Super reliable axle set up, the exact set up I'm going for, actually he is pretty much set up exactly the way my 98 5 speed sport will be, perfect most reliable set up, and can still haul add across country if ya want to .

You can run 35s on 4.5" lift in an xj with fender trimming. Without fender trimming you need 6.5". That high pinion Dana 44 and rear Ford 9" is the perfect set up for a cheorkee. Beefed up on 35 spline axles you can run 40s and never have to worry about breaking. 1 ton axles are overkill on an xj imo. Better to keep it light and high clerance

Those tires and wheels are awesome! I am hoping that I can fit them on my Ford Expedition. Just got a Icon Suspension put in and now we gotta do some modifications this weekend to see if they'll fit

[sketchrummy]

I like those rockers I made some out of 2x6 3/16" that are tied into the frame rails with 3" 3/16 square stock .

I had a 1998 XJ. Miss it like you wouldn't believe. I swear if I had a time machine and could go back to 1998, my 2020 Grand Cherokee Altitude would be traded in for a brand new XJ. I'll live with the loss of 100hp.

Next video should be a breakdown of costs, I know a lot is custom but things like tires, wheels, disc upgrades etc could be covered for us noobs!

No sway bars? How does it ride on the highway going 70+ mph?

[daltonyancey]

okay @TrailBuilt Off-Road i need the list of evrything done to this jeep so i can do this to

[nikolusmatthews]

You can fit 35s with a 4.5 inch lift also I know this because thats what is on my xj

[tristankelly]

Something he could do is buy some notch custom X-Max fender flares which would allow him to run 37s with how it stands.

[craigwood]

Would love to know what he used for the steering system.
Have a 87 Comanche and would like to do the same lift system

[DorisandDaddyOffRoad]

Nice build. Looks like it leans to the passenger side (kind of like ours does these days).

[terraforge_motorsports]

Why run a lunchbox locker when you could run a spool (which is cheaper) in the front and just lock/unlock the hubs?

[papabren]

I have the jeep, just need all the parts haha ( altho when they come to the uk they get fitted with an immobiliser that's goes wrong which it has and experts are struggling ) :( she might be gone soon

[chavoochoa]

Very nice build what shock setup are you running in the front.

[clownnig]

Man I wanna fix my jeep death wobble and just have it running. Sick xj
