This thing is just a constant work in progress. Wanted something I could take out on the trail and not worry about body damage. It's an '85, has over 190k on the body, the Chevy smallblock and 700R4 far less. Just installed a Dana 44 in the rear with a new Powerlock. It's sitting on 33 12.5's and around 5" of lift. Would be 6" if not for the extra weight of the bigger engine and trans.
Running Rancho RS9000X shocks all the way around, and an RS5000 stabilizer. Currently having front and rear bumpers fabricated, along with a set of sliders. The pic doesn't really do the flex justice - if you notice the rear end hasn't even started to "stuff" yet. I'm installing a set of limiting straps this weekend, the extended brake lines are maxed out even in the poser shot.
This is the biggest wheel and tire combo I'd recommend running with the stock front Dana 30.
My daily driver is a VW Passat GLX 4Motion V6 wagon, silver. Looks like every other Passat GLX 4Motion V6 wagon out there, not point in posting pics.

BTW, so I don't look like a liar, the Rancho stabilizer was installed a week after this pic was taken.

Sorry, one more. The XJ has just taken on towing duty since I no longer have a pickup. This is with a 5" drop hitch. Picking up the 10" drop, 10" extended draw bar on Friday.

85V8XJ 09-21-2005 09:19 AM

Sorry, 'bout the big friggin pic... won't happen again. That often.

Yeah, doesn't surprise me - I suck at the internet. Strange thing is, the pics show up for me. Anyone got some tips on how to do this right?

Yep, I'm in OC. I'm not too far from the college.

My current truck is a '04 F250 xlt. 5.4l, auto, plow prep, 600 watt stereo, lots of other little goodies. I love this truck, I've always wanted one, now I finally have one. In a perfect world it would be a v10, but the 5.4 is plenty for everything I use it for.

My old truck, which I still own, is a '78 3/4 ton Suburban. 400ci small block, TH400, NP203 converted to part time, Dana 44 front, GM 14bolt rear around 44k original miles. 4" lift, RS5000 shocks, dual battery kit. I bought the truck as a plow truck, the mount comes off with six nuts. It's currently up for sale, but I'm not sure I really want to sell it. REALLY good truck. The body is starting to rust out on me though.

OK, a little something different,

my one off, Jesse James built, 2002 West Coast Chopper CFL, 131 CI motor, 140 HP, baker 6 speed, 200 mm rear tire, straight LBC pipes, 38 degree rake, 4" stretch, will flat scare the S$%T out of you! Fast as hell and louder than most drag cars. no speedo, blinkers, no gauges or horn, as jesse once told me, " if you can't fit in your pockets or if it falls out when you are riding, you shouldn't have brought it anyway! " oh yeah, it's real, not a fake :)

1999 Jeep TJ
 
This thread is back from the dead? I suppose I'll post up my ride...

Here she is:

http://www.be-creative.net/jeep.jpg

High miles, sporting about a 3 inch lift as you can see. The interior is showing signs of wear, the outside is still in pretty good shape. She's starting to act up if I leave her sit for too long and she's got this backfiring problem that just recently showed up. It's basically my money pit and she's sucking me dry.

And that's my Jeep in the background :) I know... STUPID JOKE. I couldn't help it.

Nothing special. 4.0L with ax-15 and np231. Standard fare.
The only mods I've got on that thing is a rear rock bumper and a custom-bent front bumper and if you look close, you can see my custom permanent disconnects on the sway bar courtesy of a high speed run through some bumps. But it is paid for!

BTW, if anyone knows of a place where I can get a factory Dana 44 for the rear without having to sell a kidney, PM me!

I know where there is one you can buy for only 1/2 a kidney, half price...:)
