Nice Tim. I am running Skid Row for skids and my sliders were custom from a fellow member of VAXC. (Virginia Xterra Club) Have fun with your build. Too bad I am now 3000 miles away or we could go out and break stuff. Heres how the X is looking these days...



Here are the sliders

I'm leaving the spam post so Todd can take a look at it; seems our spam protection ain't.

Yeah, its a sickness. I am pondering cutting off my front IFS ( independent front suspension ) and going with a solid front axle. A lot of cash and time. I might leave well enough alone and use the money to put down on a little bit more friendly of a daily driver. Volvo C30 is in my mind. Hehehe. Best of both worlds. Swedish hatchback for the week, X for the weekend. Cool

My friend just finished his SAS on his Bronco, LOTS of work, I can't even imagine how much more for an X as well.

Well the Jeep went under the "knife" today. Started the 4" Lift. Got the rear end completed, but having a heck of a time on the front.


Got new wheels and 32" tires for it as well. Hopefully it can leave the garage tomorrow for a nice drive around the block.

Nice Tim! Couple of guys at work have Jeeps and have done modifications to them. We used to sit and talk about it. They go do the 4x4 trails and stuff.

Looks like you'll be ready to take it out and enjoy soon !! Mr. Green
