Yeah for the rear tire carrier I picked up the Smittybilt one for my XJ.
I already have the nice arb front so just needed the rear. It's a nice option if you dont mind spending some coin.
In regards to the trailer, I'm thinking of building one myself. Just gotta find the right candidate...
Ok so this weekend I was able to get a couple of things done on jeep in between Honey Do's :). The old Power Steering Reservoir and Steering Gear Box were leaking and tired.
So it just made sense to replace them both, along with the hoses. Along with a new pulley since the old one somehow...
Ok so got the front end ripped apart and out of the jeep this weekend. I'm starting to get an idea why it rode like complete garbage with the old lift. Putting a 4 inch lift on short arms just really pushed the limits of the short arms. It pretty much pins the lower control arms against the rear...
So I thought it would be fun to do a build thread for this XJ I have right now. The previous owner had done some work to it but as I have looked over it I dont think their attention to detail was quite what I would call acceptable. LOL so I'll be going back and fixing everything to my OCD...
I'm excited to become part of this forum and meet some great people. Just starting a new build on this Jeep XJ and actually pulling it into the garage today. I look forward to hitting the trails with some of you and hope you wouldn't mind showing me around these parts. #13290
