What leafs did you use to rebuild them? I used s10 springs for my bastard packs.

I ended up using a set of well worn Rubicon Express packs and replaced the longest leaf with an add a leaf. My next packs will definitely be OME's.

Bought a set of LII leaf sliders for $160 at All Breeds Jeep Show yesterday. Hopefully this may help me fix my $h!tty shackle setup...

I need to do an update kinda sorta bad. Clocked the transfer case so I could have more room and less rubbing/grinding/terrible noises....

And then installed the sliders, but I have yet to get pics of that. I haven't wheeled ALL SUMMER so I plan to fix that soon. But here is a cool pic....

Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 01-02-2014
Wow. So this needs an update.
First, I got accepted to JMU and start this spring!
As for this pile....
I wheeled it and broke more tail lights....

To fix this, I built these boxes and threw in some LED's...

And then wheeled at BBPG more in Harrisonburg. Seriously, I DO hate mud. But sometimes, you have to prove yourself. Yes, the wheels are flying....

I didn't make it because I broke a shaft on that last try. You can hear it snap...

Fixed the axle shaft last week and installed some big pimpin', comfy as a mofo, ZJ seats...

I have a set of 4.56 gears for the axles, just need to get a press lined up to get them in. 2014 will include a cage (I hope), a new rear bumper, and to absolutely flog the piss out of it. Pics to follow.
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - Goodspeed - 01-02-2014
Those rear lights are badass - I scrolled down expecting one of those little light cages (not sure what they're called) but those are way more awesome.
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 01-03-2014
Thanks!
Yeah, light cages blow. Throughout this whole build, I've tried to keep everything simple and build things that simply work. Light cages do more damage than good. I've already laid these up against a few trees and they are holding up well.
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - Kaan - 01-03-2014
that mud hole doesnt look easy to get out of... the tail light boxes are sweet too. Sylvia doesnt wheel that hard since she is daily driving her TJ.

It wasn't lol. Again, I hate mud, but when you have friends that start talking smack.....lol. I think I would have made it if I held it to the rev-limiter longer.... :mrgreen:
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - V1GiLaNtE - 01-16-2014
All around solid updates. Wish I could say the same for my heep
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 01-21-2014
Did some wheeling this weekend. The rear bumper took some hits. It's getting close to time to build one...

Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 01-21-2014
Oh, and before I went wheeling, I beefed up the LII slider boxes since they obviously can't take much abuse...

Dude. Next time you go to GWNF, hit me up!
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 01-22-2014
Will do man!
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 02-02-2014
So I started my rear bumper, but I don't have anything cool to show you. In the meantime, here is a picture of me dicking around....

I dunno.. It's just the light or something. Damn it I need to stretch the XJ's legs. Trying to sell an AR pistol to fund XJ build parts. :thumbup:
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 02-07-2014
Got my bumper mounts done. Starting the actual bumper tonight.

Man, the rate of progress on this build makes me feel inadequate.
