97 cherokee Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Ahah! Just wait till I get the tire carrier on it and high lift mounted on it and I had to get a run for the hills dumb 3.55 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 lol, I called you on the CB as you passed then realized you didn't have one; and I don't have a club radio. Hardest part of the swing arm is to make it pass the hatch when it lifts/drops, make sure to test with the hi-lift cause it catches a lot of hatches on the way up or down.

97 cherokee Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I do have a cb I had to take my antenna off when I changed the bumper and I'm building the pivot behind the tail light so it wont get in the way of the hatch and the high lift is going to lay down flat under the tire so it's not in the way, already had it fitted before I welded the carrier frame just want to get the gears and rear end done befor I mess with the bumper anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97 cherokee Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Well had the day off so did a good cleaning in the garage and got the 8.8 stuck under made sure spring perches where ok for pinion angle and made/installed some shock mounts also found out the rear driveshaft will be fine and I don't think ill have much exhaust interference becaus of the offset axle so I tacked to mounts on took it back out for finish welding and paint! Hope to have it under the jeep for good next weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
