Cage looks good!
I am surprised the lockout didn't let go before the chromoly shaft

If you do keep the same spline outers I have two spare hubs that came on that axle you can have

Re: 2 door xj build
Thanks man that would be awesome. I was hoping for a blown hub as well. Thanks to Will, Mike at Appalachia is going to warranty the stub shaft. So looks like I will be running 19 spline outers until I can afford to do a front hi 9". Im going to carry at least one spare stub shaft from now on and I guess hubs since James is going to hook me upJwlman wrote:If you do keep the same spline outers I have two spare hubs that came on that axle you can have

Re: 2 door xj build
Little update: New Parts
Stub Shaft
Fox Air Shocks - Will most likely be awhile before I can get them installed but I got a deal on them.

Re: 2 door xj build
They are long gone, sold them in the spring to pay rent one month. Without a bender I wouldn't have been able to get them mounted anyway... One day I will have cool parts on my turd like you guysBadAssEddie wrote:Air Shocks?
