OOOOOH,
I just got goose bumps, I was thinking of my 89 YJ. With the 8.8 rear axle already installed and working well. My mind wanders ahead, the G.Wag D44 Im imagining is complete with knuckle over steering and the whole swap was problem free, and I even made money on the swap from the sale of the D30,mmmmmm. Now the motor,no need to wait for winter, Ive excelerated the schedule for the 5.0 SVO Crate motor,mmmmmmm its complete and mated to my NP435,mm"NO, WAIT" it is mated to a new NV4500 mmmmmmmmmmmm. Suspension why naturally its A Warn Black Diamond, all shiiiiiny and no dents in that lazer cut skid plate...because no rocks can touch it.... Now my Jeep nimbley climbs all obstacles with, with the grace of a deer and the power of a tiger mmmmmmm.
Jeff...Jefff....JEFFFFFF,
HUH??? WHAT Jeepchick????
"What were you thinking about over there you were all glossy eyed and drooling on the table?"
Ohh,mm nothing, but I was just wondering, do the girls really need to go to college???
"What?? Of course they do, heey, your on that Jeep discussion thing again arent you... Get off of that #@&*# thing and get to work".
Great, I gotta go. But quickly,Ive wheeled with a few guys with the XCL,its one of those products that lives up to the hoopla and hype,they had a few engineering probs at 1st,but they are all worked out. It (the Black Diamonds XCL)just works awsome, just look at what TRi County Gears Jeep did at the National Rock Crawling Event, 5th place, with a stock 4 banger,D30,D44,35" tires and an XCL suspension. But just remember if you havent swapped the axles you will be using in the future then every swap will need to repreped for the suspension, and the springs are built specific for the weight of your motor and such. So all of your other mods should be in place before you spend the money for the suspension. But just think 16" of travel, no axle wrap mmmmmmmmm, I gotta go she looking at me.

If at first you dont succeed, your replacement will try and try again.
