Making some plans for the much needed revamp of the TJ. It was built by Sunray Engineering in 1997. :eek: Technology has changed a little since then...

2.5" air shocks are freakin cheeeeeeep, anyone driven on the street with them on a 3,700-4,000 lb. rig? 70-80 mile trips, tops; mostly just running around town, to class, store, etc. They are much smaller than coilovers (easier to fit) and *should* hold the weight just fine??? I ran 2" air shocks on the Campbell car and hated them, but they were the first run of Fox's and I tend to run into things off road, the TJ gets babied (in comparison).

My plans were 3 links front and rear, heavy ass high pinion unit bearing CTM built 60 in the front, CTM built 9"/14 bolt rear, 35" AT's for the street and 37" stickies off road.
 
My buggy is on air's and I have been driving it on the street alot lately , I have a swaybar in the rear and the front doesnt have alot of up travel and rides air bumps pretty quick and if it were tagged Id drive this thing all over town and to work...

Im realistically probably around 3800-4k is my guess

I love a "rig" as a driver. So much damn fun to cruise your toy. !! I really want to tag the buggy so I can get around town in it :driving:

How bad will the road eat them XTC's up?

Campbell buggy: "Soft" Maxxis 40's => fine on the road
Badlands buggy: "Super Soft" Maxxis 40's => road eats them and they throw big chunks of rubber off
