Yeah, We got a pretty cool deal going on. His house is about a mile from my shop.

Looks like I might be getting a BDS bellypan for my XJ then using Bunk links to make it into a 3 link.

Ba-Riedo · Dec 15, 2009

Back to the drawing board for this one, the BDS bellypan has lower mounts that are 2.5 inches wide, I heard that the RE Superflex joints are 2 5/8ths inches wide and so are similar joints.:booo:

But I found out Currie makes a 2.5 inch JJ so I might end up going this route...

Have Keith Whip you a 3 link X-member up? I prefer belly pan style on the XJ's with a separate T-case/trans X-member. If'nn keith is busy busy, im sure Those Guys could do ya good.

Just talked with Keith and he is busy, I am talking with the guys at BDS so maybe I can get even better pricing on this. I would love to have Pat at Those Guys do it but he is pretty swamped at the moment too.

So I was thinking two of these: http://www.currieenterprises.com/cestore/Product.aspx?id=2629

Plus two of these: http://www.currieenterprises.com/cestore/Product.aspx?id=2630

For my lowers, Bunk can you make the tubing work with these joints?

The upper will be using 7/8ths heims.

Currently we are out until the end of January, if you can wait that long we can do it and either use the skid you are looking at, or make something custom on the plasma table.

Best bet right here man. Pat does great work and has great prices. Worth the wait IMO.:awesomework:

Ba-Riedo · Dec 16, 2009

I love the work Pat has done for me, the cage, tube fenders, rockers, axle brackets and the list goes on... But I don't think I can wait that long...
