Hello from westminster!

Unread post by savvypower »

Hey guys, I'm Andrew, got a 99 xj in process of one ton swap/3 link. Hoping to join within the next couple of weeks so i can go wheelin this summer! been offroading since i was 16...so 3 years ago. This is my second jeep, owned a yj on 33's before this. bought the cherokee to "daily drive" and keep the miles off of the yj...that plan failed :lol:
here is a few pics from this weekend, i got the 14 bolt in :)

Dude : I heard that if you went to disk on a 60,you would be taking off about 60-70 lbs. Zat true ? Was the axle narrowed? How much. Oh, welcome to the club. FjR68

Looks like he's using HMMWV wheels, which offset brings the tire inboard to almost the stock location.

XJ's on 'tons are badazz. Reminds me of XJMarks rig.

I'll be driving Michaela's XJ on a few runs this year as the YJ will be going through some "refurbishment" in preparation of Moab.

it is a 14 bolt and it easily saved about 100 lbs...and the axle is not narrowed. the stock h1 wheels keep it narrow :D like ZAEDOCK said. i hope to go to moab also...one of these days

Welcome to the club. Those axles are awesome. They look like they weigh half the Jeep! haha Are you going to Topless Jeep Day this Saturday? I'd love to see this thing.
