Rusty's 1" drop crossmember.

Desert Rat

You wont lose anything at the crossmember but needless to say your TC will hang down an inch lower. That was my initial concern with it.

Desert Rat

I'll probably just purchase or try to fab a slider for the TC.

You could always just get a TC skid from JCR if you don't want to make one yourself.

Ok i fixed the pics on my build page, had a retard moment when i put it together

Desert Rat

That skid looks pretty tough, but I'm not running the factory crossmember, so I dont think it would work for my application. Appreciate the input either way, thanks!

Desert Rat

Awesome! Looks like the XJ's coming together nicely!

So, is everyone ready for tomorrow?

Of course, I've got to work all day today so tonight I'll be topping off fluids, cleaning her up, packing the cooler, getting wood, etc.

What last minute things are you guys doing?

rivercrazy

Hey Joe, are we meeting in Layton? If I don't hear from you today I'm just gonna head strait down there tomorrow morning.

ok guys i need some help!!!!!!!!!!! Now that i've lifted the jeep, i have some serious death wobble above 50 mph when i hit a bump in the road. Everything is tight and in its proper place. Any idea's?

Desert Rat

Might be a silly question, but did you get it aligned after?

Desert Rat

Did a once over on the XJ, all the fluids checked, tires good. We're ready to go.

So if your doing 50mph it won't start shaking tell you hit a bump or does it do it almost the whole time?
1st- X2 on the alignment?
2nd- Do you have a TC drop?
3nd- Is your BB a block or shackle in the rear?
