We bought used with 20,000 miles in 2003.
Within a month I took it to Disney Oklahoma with HXOC!
A few of years later it got a TJM front bumper courtesy of a drunk that ran a red light.
With about 220,000 miles the mods are happening!
Pre-body Lift
The Parts
Here we go.
Time to make that bumper work with the body lift.
Back together.
HP!
New to me K&N.
33X12.5X15's on Summit Soft 8's!
The wheels are 3.75" BS lots of metal cut to fix rubbing issues.
Thanks to UofA_Xterra I have SLR UCAs and a Grassroots CL to install soon.
Stripped them down and repainted them!
My buddy Ranger had to get into the shot.
Lots of boxes today!
After 16 days I gave up on Rock and Roll off-road, and ordered direct from Total Chaos. They got it to me quickly and even threw a handful of stickers in!
Big mod day! er WEEK.
Apparently Moog lower ball joints come in different flavors.
Oh well one one each side. Test time which one will last longer?
Here we go!
Great weather for modding.
Almost done!
No pics of torsion bar uninstall. That was no fun! It involved taking the crossmember out and cutting torsion bars in half. Then a gallon of PB and a torch and one big hammer.
Add a leaf and shackles happened so fast that I forgot to take any pics of them too.
Back on its feet and alignment done.
Some love from ON-TORC raffle.
Secret X'er Gifts!
Ordered Shrockworks rear bumper from 4x4parts in November! It is supposed to be at my house by the end of January.
