Kinda put together a list for clayton this year and what needs to get done in repairs and upgrades
LCA bushings
UCA bushings
new leaf packs or bastard packs for rear, mine our wore out and are in need of replacement
Steering gear box
Power steering pump
Front brake job
service ccv system
Skids (Engine, oil, to trans cross member skid since this as of now is a low cog build) and maybe a gas tank skid in the back
rock sliders
front winch bumper
spare tire and maybe fab up a receiver hitch mount for rear to stick the spare on
extended brake lines front and rear
front bumpstops
rear bumpstops
service the d35
no spare axles needed since im just gunna run open diffs and winch out when i get stuck
look into roll cage of some sort, seen some pre fabbed ones online i might try to make a simplified version to add a little piece of mind while driving the flimsy beer can that is an XJ
hood louvers to keep heat down
get trailer registration up to date
any other suggestions would be great!
yes very unconventional build, but i think it'll work for my budget, have a lot of fun and go wheel cause that why we're here right?? until i can get new axles in, lockers, cage, lift.... and probably sell it for something that isnt a unibody
