  • Nelson Flores is one of the dudes BEHIND the camera and screen here at Hoonigan: he films, edits, and shreds dunes with the Terra Crew every once in a while. So he needed his Jeep to be able to keep up with filming duties on the sand. Bad Daddy Braddy comes to the rescue... kind of.

    Dana 30* short arm lift* I would also advise steering box brace and Trac bar brace when you get around to doing the better steering system. Also for a cheap rear end upgrade to get rid of the rear Dana 35 or Chrysler 8.25 look for a Ford 8.8 from a Ford explorer later 90s models had disc brakes and a few companies make swap kits for the xj to bolt the 8.8 in

      Corrected is a vague thing. They probably won't ever see it but if they do just blame it on #baddaddybrad lol not sure any of them know how to build a wheeler I'm sure they are all capable of doing it but they revolve around cars. Offroad scene is drastically different everything needs to be over built. If I was doing that Jeep to do prerunner stuff and haul my son out would first have a full cage. Then a real long arm kit or make my own 3 link for it. The 30 can be built to survive 35s but in the dunes you really don't need anything bigger then that. Front springs would be some nice linear rate springs with acos bump stops, or ditch it entirely for coilovers. Rear would be a custom spring under setup with some nice bypass shocks. Think that would be a nice streetable build. Better then what I'm building now. Definitely do not advise trying to put a 6bt in a vintage bronco on 42s 😂 but I'll sure be happy with all the power crawling around the USA getting 20+ mpg

    that's a short arm kit, long arm kits relocate the body end of the control arm toward the center of the vehicle for better articulation, handling, and a better ride. I wouldn't recommend any jumping or fast desert driving with that short arm kit since it is still using the weak factory mounts for the control arms. XJs have dana 30s up front and either dana 35, 44, or Christler axles in the back. i would recommend getting a dana 44 from a junkyard for the back, direct bolt on if the gearing is the same and pretty cheap. at least they knew not to go higher than 33s on stock axles though.

    Time to extend the rear bump stops or start trimming.
    Or just downsize to 31x10.50's... LOL
    I agree, the Dana-35 rear is a weak POS (mentioned at 5:05 )
    I don't worry much about the later Chrysler 8.25 axles in these XJ's but if you can find an XJ Dana-44 rear for cheap, that would be an easy upgrade. I currently have one under my '91 YJ and have another in my shed. Or with a small amount of work just swap in a Ford 8.8 from an Explorer.
    Or just throw some money at it and install Dana-60's.

    If you’re running the 8.25 rear. It’s actually not that bad of a axle. I wouldn’t go catching air on the 8.25 & Dana30. But for crawling they’re perfectly fine. Just make sure your geared correctly. My XJ sits on 35’s with 4.88 gears, Detroit lockers, 4:1 transfer case. Dana 44’s. Crawls like a dream.

    @noahdickerson3525 6 років тому

    Get c clip eliminators for the rear so when you break an axle the tires don’t come out of the wheel well, you’d have to regear it front and rear to run 35s but you could (obviously there is a high possibility your axles will blow up still) since you don’t have limited slips, you’d want to throw those in as well. I drive a 92 XJ n I love it on 33s with a 4 and a half inch lift, but I’m going to go 35s with a Ford 8.8 in the rear to make sure I’m not just snapping axles all the time. But I’m not a desert racer guy I’m more into the rock crawling scene. Hope the build goes well maybe we’ll see more of the Jeep in the future?

    I love when non jeep guys get a Jeep to work on. They said they were putting long arm suspension on it and I was getting excited... the lift isn’t long arm. Still ridiculously cool. Also that exhaust is gonna get hit by the axle at some point..

    Hey Brad, I have used those ballance beads in my racelines on my Jeep and they suck. The beads are so small that they stick to the tire via static electricity, or something, even when it stops rolling. So the tires never reballance. I use 12oz of airsoft BBs in each tire. Been running this set up for years. Plus the BBs are way cheaper.
