1 Ton Cherokee

[robz95xj]

last thread had to much crap from the past and no progress, heres a fresh thread it will show a lil history of the jeep and the plans for it, parts will start going on in in a few weeks


Got it back in high school (circa 2003) from my parents wheeled the crap out of it stock, blew up the d35 got a D44 then installed a 2" BB, got some 30's and wheeled that for a year


Broke the driveplate also rust started hapening so it got taken off the road Feb of 2006, then sold the D44, then it sat in the driveway for a year, i bought parts for a 4.5" lift with plans to run 33's, later in the year i got a sweet deal on some used Clayton LA's and 35" Claws so i bumped up the lift to 6",


Nov of 07 moved to a new place with a small garage, finally pulled the trans to get the broken flexplate out

nothin much changed in the next year it basicly sat due to tight funds, then come Nov 08 i bought a 93 XJ for $500 as a winter beater it quickly got a bb and 33" wheel it like that then stated buyin more goodid like more lift and lockers, the plans were to transfer the parts into the 95 when the 93 was done,

the 93 locked f/r and armored, its actually became a test rig for the 95


well i had a few friends blow up there 30's on 35's so i decided to sell the 35's and go 1 tons
bought a 60/10.25 combo


shortly after i got a set of 38" SX's on Stazworks Double beadlocks with 2" backspacing, its gonna be super wide (like 89")


pics of em mocked up




the 93 was parted out last month im takin the trans from it for the 95

when ya see d30, d44, d60 gm 14bolt, ect its the axle model

3 link means the 3 links/contols arms for frt suspention

atlas transfercase, the best you can get its twin stick meanin one lever to control frt wheel drive and the other for rear wheel drive makes manuvering in tight spots very easy

drive flanges, they replace the manual locking hubs on the frt axle, alot stronger and cheaper, also allow for larger axle shaft
