Putting a TJ stinger on an XJ?!?

Putting a Poison Spyder trailer stringer for a TJ on the front of my Xj, overall not a terribly difficult process and lots of room to add support later on, which will likely be done at the time of adding a winch.

    Very good video, I like the clear explanation for the removal process. Did these parts not come with instructions? The lower arms have to be installed with the angle bend down and the short end towards the axle to provide clearance for the axle articulation. Great camera angles for a clear view of all the steering parts and installation.

      @slothfabgarage8233 4 месяца назад

      the arms do not come with instructions. while it is typically easier to install with the bend down, i personally like to install the bend up in order to gain more clearance in my builds. the small amount of clearancing required on the shock mount is worth the effort for me personally. but that will vary for each individual

    Ive looked through a ton of videos trying to get Ideas for my 94 chevy 4x4 and they a lot seem to run tubing or channel parallel with the frame and then set the cross members on top of them. I was going to build mine with steel but I think this is how Im going to do it. I dont see the sense in adding the extra weight and a 4x6 is plenty strong enough plus you only need to go as high as your bump stops. So this is so much simpler and it looks pretty cool. Nice job man.

Not sure what wood you used but if someone else is doing this I would recommend NOT using wood treated with alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) or copper azole (CA) because they will cause steel to corrode much faster. If you do I would recommend sealing the frame somehow. Also whatever fasteners you use should be galvanized or stainless steel.

      the easiest way to remove the studs is to thread 2 nuts on to the stud and lock them tight together. then put a wrench on the upper nut and turn it out. since its jammed against the bottom nut it will pull the stud out of its threads in the frame. sometimes you need to use heat to help the process but this is how i have always gotten them out, even very stuck ones
