Glad to see you did the front lift correct! Too many people just put lift springs in and keep the oe arms. With the long arms you get a better ride as well as more suspension travel!
Looks like a really rugged set up Dave, very rugged and strong. Once you get the wheel alignment done and new tires that Jeep should handle MUCH better. 👍💯
Enjoying your series on the Jeep. Can't wait to see the Durango Hellcat in paint. Since Trevor also just moved his shop, are you guys sharing the junkyard or is he at a different one?
@@dodgeguyz yup I know how they suck, just never knew what they were called before today. my old 93 CBR900RR used rivnuts in the aluminum frame to secure the seat. first time I went to pull the seat, one bolt had corroded every so slightly and it spun inside the frame. weight saving is great until that happens
I'd just rattle can that rear skid plate. If it gets scratched you can just spray it again when you get home. Way cheaper and easier than powder coating.
Dave, love your channel and content.. Maybe it's just me on how I'm viewing it but do the pinion angle on the rear driveshaft looks a bit cattywampus ? Shouldn't the angle on both rear universal joints from trans and rear end be somewhat the same? How will this angle be affected while driving off road? Will this angle cause vibration on the hi-way, just asking for a friend.
Put this lift on my xj 3 years ago, 1 wheeling trip and I realized that rough country shocks are trash and I destroyed a rear lca joint, tried to rebuild the rear joints on the lca's but rough country will only sell the whole joint......so i swapped to curry johnny joints. Other than those 2 things this lift has been great
Jeep looks awesome Dave! What happened to your nutsert attachment to your wrench/drill? I bought one as a result. Am I better to use the manual method for riv nuts. ?? Cheers mate 👏👏💪💪👍👍
Could have done without the wind at the end of the video, but there;s no controlling the weather. Here in Queensland Australia, we are getting so much rain again that they are warning of more floods.

Lifting an xj will never get old, if I could pick one vehicle for the rest of my like a lifted xj is definitely the one!

HEY! Gooooood morning Dave and thumbs UP to you!
Riv nuts are nice to use but I would be a little weary on using them to hold the crossmember vertically. Wonder what the tolerances are on those.

Looks good...now I wanna take for a rip💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
I like RC as well. Very good quality and customer support is very good and knolagable. Jeep looks good
Jeep looks epic
I would def put those through bolts on the crossmember/radius arms. Youll rip those nutserts out
No slip yoke eliminator?
Now you gotta get the rough country armor kit and bumpers
Yeah I think it would look good and some flares
@@Junkyard_Dave yeah it will with your powder coating skills they will look awesome. Nice work can't wait for the next video.
learned something new today: rivnuts, awesome!!
Yes they are great, until they spin. Then you will curse them. Would much rather weld in a sleeve and use a long nut and bolt!

Time for some patagonia MTs!
Nice build , dude
Thanks
One done 25 more to finish. 😆 🤣 😂. Keep up the great work. God bless

You should have marked the pitman arm of the old one. Maybe the swaying is that the new one is slightly off.
Can I has the old steering setup please? It’s for my Comanche:)

Probably the video making it look off
Awesome XJ

What are you going to do with the old front lift kit
While you are in the mood for working on xj's you can come to ga and swap motors for me in mine.... I'll feed you homemade tacos and beer. Lol

The one I had didn't do large standard threads
Was there anything on that Jeep's old suspension that wasn't worn out? It looked pretty bad! You'll notice a big difference now.
It seemed like everything was pretty bad I feel that people put lifts on and think they are a trophy truck

Yeah it has been windy here 50 to 100mph at least once a week
I’m ordering the same lift next week!
Did you have to get a longer drive shaft slip yoke ?
Yes you need to get the driveshafts or you'll Ave issues
@@Junkyard_Dave okay thank you, I’ll have to order one to!
🔥🔥👍👍
