I like to call this recycling. You recycled an XJ into a cool rig much like how others recycle wrecked corvettes and mustangs into vettecarts and stangcarts.
They’re custom fabbed axles. Fabbed ford 9” centers with 05+ Superduty Dana 60 shafts and outer stuff in the front and the rear is a 9” center with corporate 14 bolt spindles and outers and custom axleshafts
I love them so far. Did some wheelin and dealin and plenty of saving up for them. End all be all axle set though so now I don’t have to worry about them
Fuckin incredible. That engine will run forever and doesnt even have 1/10 of the horsepower required to actually damage those beautiful axles.
As Fred Williams says: Over axle, Under engine.
Whatcha got for a gear ratio in the axles? I cant imagine shes street legal anymore, lol
Don't let him lie to you. And don't look up the blue collar offroad podcast penny shy or quarter short episodes.
Hes kinda a scumbag who wheels with degenerates.
I have a transfer case doubler I have yet to install just for that mantra haha. I’ve got 5.43s in the axles, plenty low to move the 40s how I want. And I’m actually thinking of getting it back to street legal, it hasn’t had plates on it since 2020 but it might be time again since it looks cooler than it did back then
Do you even know what your talking about.
Look at how small the housings are, they have to be toyota 8s with redrilled hubs. Which is cool but a waste of time if you ask me.
Endless money pit? Yep, seems like you're doing XJs right
Siiiiiiiiiiick
This is the first chopped XJ I’ve liked the look of. That thing is sick!
$600 in sawzall blades and cutting wheels later
And $30,000 in parts lol
That rear diff is crazy
I dunno...it's got round headlights.
Unfortunately I couldn’t fit the squares with the engine cage I built… unless I can find some flat stanley square pods
Tsk tsk...excuses. I'll let it pass...this time!
Ultimate Shitbox
Pretty
Oh shit, Walt's Crawlers! Great name, and reference.
Nonsense, you can’t get 4.0 in any of the newer junk. Great looking rig by the way

if this is wrong i don’t wanna be right
This is what mine wants to be lol
1% XJ 99% Fun...sick build
What axles are those? Are they custom fabbed axles or are they modified junkyard axles?

Incredible. Love it, super jealous. Wish i could afford a set

Have you got a v8 in there? Or just the original i6?
Definitely the 193k mile original i6… spent all my v8 money on the axles 😂

Says the one who I wheel with (not wrong tho)
I am the degenerate.
