Default TJ: Flexys minor make over

ok so my jeep is getting a few changes in the coming months which i have started buying parts already i will post pics next week and keep you regularly updated as i go ( probably slowly ) .

the plan is to put some stronger diffs under the tj with a high steer setup
.i also want to remove the body lift and maybe fit slighlty
lower coils as i want to achieve a lower roll centre .


so far i have had a rollgage built by Anthony from tomahawk racefab
which is in the car already . i have also purchased a set of walker evans
remote resivoir shock absorbers and a warn front bar and winch plate from
procomp that are sitting in my lounge room and i also bought a high pinion
dana 44 out of a f100 ( thanks for the tip ian )which is going to get built up
and trussed for the front and i will be getting a ford nine inch from g & j
differentials for the rear as they are relativly cheap to buy . i have also fitted
a skyjacker high clearance skid pan that i bought from caloffroad .

note : have gone with patrol diffs from a gq patrol that are being modified to suit the tj

You building it with the intention of racing it?
What sort of wheel travel you hoping to achieve?
And yeah lets see pics of the goods.
Make sure you pad the cage. Cops like padding...
