Re: v8 tj in blue (wish it was green) touch up
What the deal with the superwinch bib? :D
Re: v8 tj in blue (wish it was green) touch up
its called a winch damper...its designed to drop rope or wire in something lets go....wet jumper or sack does same thing..must have if you run a winch,,just safety shit same as rated recovery hooks and such.....have to have in comps as well....
Re: v8 tj in blue (wish it was green) touch up
Wayne, ya need to drop by for a little suspension tune up
Re: v8 tj in blue (wish it was green) touch up
should be done soonish as have club run ,,,something about rocks..... mate at his shop is doing a lot of it..will do what i can when time permits.... work tis all go here at mo...its more cutting and grinding which i can do , but the welding has to be done by a certified welder..will be making all arms and such....kinda cool to be doing it ......
Re: v8 tj in blue (wish it was green) touch up
Yup, fun in the shop. I really enjoy it. Much better than just buying that stuff.
Re: v8 tj in blue (wish it was green) touch up
So whats the loophole ???
You gunna put leaf springs in the rear so its bit like an XJ ???

Damn shame to have to get into those mods & fixes so soon ... should be good when finished tho ....
Re: v8 tj in blue (wish it was green) touch up
