Hello everyone
New member here from Beirut Lebanon. thanks for having me on the forum.
Bought my first TJ a month ago. A 2005 X auto 4.0 bone stock in mint condition. Here’s a list of what I have done so far. Any advices and comments are more than welcome.
Here it is stock the day I bought it:
For the axles, I swapped the rear Dana 35 with a Dana 44 and the front LP Dana 30 for a HP Dana 30. USA Standard 4.88 gears. Eaton e-lockers on both ends.
Rugged Ridge SYE with a shortened DC rear driveshaft.
For the suspension I mixed and matched components from different brands with the hope of achieving the most comfortable ride possible both onroad and offroad:
Shocks Rancho RS5000x
Rear coils RE 2.5” progressive coils + spring relocating brackets (netted 4.25”)
Front coils OME 4” (netted 4.5” even with the bumper installed)
Core 4x4 tier 3 control arms (with currie Jhonny joints)
Front and rear RE adjustable trackbars
Rancho steering stabilizer
RE front swaybar disconnect
Smittybilt front bumper (cutout some lenght to make it a stubby) and a rugged ridge raised winch plate
33-12.5-15 KO2 on stock wheels and spacers
Had to change the headunit as well:
Here is how it sits today:
Next mods:
Currie Currectlync steering
Winch
17” Raceline beadlocks with 35’s
