My little XJ project

I got tired of all the guys in my club building and evolving their rigs, so I got off my butt.  After wheeling my 90 XJ one day and the front axle disconnect crapped out leaving me with a stripped out actuator, I decided rather than fix it I'd make it better.  I replaced the Dana 30/35 with a high pinion 44 from a 79 Bronco and 9" from a late 70's pickup.  Kept the radius arm setup for simplicity, and extended the arms with square tubing with a RE Superflex joint at the frame end.  With the 3" coils in front and a set of Durango leaf packs out back I went to almost 6" of lift.  Threw on a set of 33" TSL's I got from a friend, and I'm almost set.  I'm currently working on the steering and track bar.  Since I have no garage, and this is Northern Minnesota, progress is a little slow right now.  It did get up to almost 38 degrees this last weekend though, so I did get a little more done.  Anyways here's a shot of the rig before, with the 3" lift and 32's

And here it is now with around 6" lift, 33" TSL's, and some safety yellow paint
