A lot of big things have been going on in the Inspired Engineering shop, some you guys have seen, and some you haven't. For now we will keep you guys updated on our TJ build.
We started off with an XJ on one tons, owned by our sales Manager, Sami. After blowing the head gasket, well, Sami blew a head gasket as well, and figured it was time to part out the XJ and build a TJ. The XJ was on coilovers in the front, and one ton axles with JCR armor, and lots of other things. Whether Sami made the right decision, that's up to you, ill keep my opinion to myself.
Not only do we sell lights, but we are also authorized distributors of many brands used in this build, including Poision Spyder, JCR Offroad, Method Wheels, Ruffstuff specialties, Switch-pros, Rock Krawler, and every other item you see in this build.
We do not just sell the items, we test them out for ourselves.
We didn't want to reinvent the wheel, but go with our take on a tried and tested setup. There are some surprises, but here is the general build plan.
-Dana 60 front and rear axles with 5:13 gears. Front has Spartan locker and G2 locking hubs. The rear has 35 spline Yukon chromolly shafts, Lock rite locker, and Ruffstuff diff covers with disk brakes.
- Rock Krawler LJ long arm kit: Single triangulated rear, with 3 link front. Nets 10" of rear stretch, and about 1" or so front stretch.
-Fox 2.0 Emulsion coilovers 12" front, and 14" rear, with QA-1 springs
- PSC Brawler lite front bumper with brawler bar, Front hiline defender aluminum fenders, Rocker Knockers with no tube work, Custom rear aluminum PSC rear corners, PSC roll cage.
-Method 105 Beadlocks wheels on 42" TSL SX tires
-AW-4 automatic transmission
-Much more but follow the thread for now.
If you guys like this build, check out our new project as well...
This is what we started off with. A 1997 unmolested stock TJ, never offroaded. D30 front, D35 rear, A/C, 4.0, Ax15, Hard doors, brand new best top soft top, and dont forget, Chrome Wheels*
As with any great finished product, you have to start with something great. First step was tear down. The fun part.
Then even more fun work. We took about 100 photos here, but refuse to bore you. We removed all OEM Control arm mounts, track bar mounts and anything else not being used any longer.
More grinding, until the frame looked like the last pics
