Pic's of Com&Lil-Shiite Wheeling SE ONF StFrsA 070503

[ComChewy]

Hey Guy's, Here are a couple of Pictures of my 90 XJ 2Dr Sport, I call it Lil-Shiite the belly dragger, although it has a ProComp 4.5" front spring's with 2" spacers, Tubular Lower Control Arms & ProComp 5000 Shocks, and on the rear I have put in a 2" lift third spring with 1.5" lift Daystar Grazeable shackles used in conjunction with the stock shackles which pretty much 0% lift put it allows more flex of the rear axle.

These pictures were taken by Mike-H during one of our many nonofficial TOJC trail ride last year, prior to the formation of the Mud Dawg's.....
These where taken in the St. Francis Area (StFA) in the South Eastern Section of the Ocala National Forest (ONF)......


Shot 01..... Com & Lil-Shiite, Climbing an embankment at the Washout on the power line East of FR541-B-E, Crow's Bluff.....
It's the root MAN, Lil just can't make it over it today, Lil you need some 35's.....




Shot 02..... A side shot of the second try, still not enough tire, maybe a little more air....




Shot 03..... Oh well, backing off it now from the second try, can't do it today, just need a little more tire and some new 9" Currie axle's, 35" or 36" TSL Radials, or M/TR's, 35" or 37" Boggers or, or maybe..... hummm....




Lil Shiite's current Specifications:
1990 XJ 2Dr Sport, 4.0L I6, 4Spd Auto, NV231 T-case, Body is costume White Tree Rash & Pin Stripping by Florida Tight Azz Trail's.
Front Axle, Dana 30 w/a 4.10 R&P, Detroit Locker, Manual Hub Kit 5x4.5, 4143 Molly Axle Shaft's, with pressed in axle seal's w/ zerk fitting's for chassis grease to keep all of that nasty Fla trail grit & water.
Rear Axle, Dana 35 w/a 4.10 R&P, Detroit Locker, 4143 Molly Axle Shaft's, with pressed in axle seal's w/ zerk fitting's for chassis grease to keep all of that nasty Fla trail grit & water.
Tire's 31x10.50xR15 Cooper Lgt M/T's, and 15x8 Chrome Steel Wheel's

Well, after seeing and riding in BB's 41 MPW, I'm rethinking Lil Shiite's rebuild, back to the drawing board. =D>




Should I go with a pre 94 Dodge 250 Cummins powered Pickup frame with right side front center section axle and leaf springs, or a 94 and later Dodge 2500 and/or 3500 SRW Cummins powered Pickup frame with left side front center section axle, coil springs and long arm lift.....

Cut the frame down to around 107" to 114" wheel base, cut down an XJ 4Dr body and then put a small step side box behind the body....
Maybe Dana 70's or 5kLbs Eaton and/or Rockwell axle's, with Locker's and disc brakes, sitting on 44x19.50x16.5 Boggers or maybe 49x21x20 IROK's..... Hummmm?

This is why the guy's at the shop are a little upset with me now, and my projects.....

Later

Mark......

Hey MC, Damm I thought you where going to make it to Central Florida, with what you posted to Frank & Lisa. I figured that I would have hooked up with you there and you could have stayed a couple of day's at my place in ONF, it's right around the corner from them.

We could have done some wheeling there (ONF) and in Richloam, I know that you have seen some of the threads with picture's on them..... Don't worry I have had Buffalo meat before while I have been in Sturgis (during my scooter day's before it was fashionable 67 thru 73), and at a couple of the Dakota Challenge's in the Black Hill of SD.
Oh to be young and fullish once more......

Hey, who knows now since the company got the new Citation, maybe I can make it up there for a couple of day's, when it's warm though.
If you see a rig pull in to your place with a couple of tricked out TG-104's on 44" Boggers and funny looking hood's, I will not be to far behind. If you hear this roar of a low flying jet, I'll tip the wing's for you.

At the office they do not call me "Boss", it's just "SkyKing" to them......
This is why I'm so ticked off about my back now.....

Later

Mark
