My new ZJ Expedition Rig

[xjman88]

I got the 1 inch spacers ordered and were delivered yesterday along with new poly coil spring isolaters. I'm also picking up a different D30 w 3.73 gears and a D35 rear w a Detroit locker, 3.73 gears and hardened alloy shafts. Just got rebuilt. Hope to have both installed within the next week or so.

Here r a couple pics of the zj after the 3 in coils install.

If you don't mind me asking why the d35? Don't those tend to be a weak link. Why not a d44?

It's going to be hard to break a d35 w/hardened shafts (the way he wheels it anyways). Plus a locker? Why not? :sombrero:

Understood

What offset are those wheels? The dont seem to stick out at all, a look I really like

I didn't realize I haven't posted on here in 4 months. Life's had me busy so I haven't had any time to install the new exhaust or any of the other parts I have for the zj. Hoping to soon as things have slowed down a bit. Will post up as things happen.

It sure has been a while. What kind of exhaust do you have for it? Looking at the pics I just realized I have the same wheels as yours.

NICE rig. Great to see more ZJ's on here. Mine is still a hybrid wheeler/family adventure rig, much different storage/set up needs compared to when I was single wheeling an XJ! Awesome ideas here.

Due to budget constraints i decided to go back to 31s on the rig. Decided to try out the Kelly Safari TSRs. I put 120 miles offroad on them this weekend through mud, rocks and snow w no problems. Will get pics up soon.

Safari TSRs are rebadged Duratracs...good choice!

I really wished they made a 33x10.5 in either Kelly's or duratracs...as well as ALOT of other tires

So 2 weekends ago the kids and i spent a few days up in northwest Maine. Did alot of exploring in areas we had never been before. And we camped in the snow. Had a great time. Put about 120 miles offroad on the new Kelly Safaris. Man those are some great all around tires. I also added a winch and set of driving lights last week. Heres a couple of pics.
