Spotted in a junkyard where it belongs.

If it had more shocks it wouldn’t have ended up there

 

[Burns]

I actually did a double take like "no....really? yes. Huh, good enough."

Here's a FB marketplace gem.

Hopefully he at least welded the square tubing blocks together.

Have a gander at the sweet Saginaw drop bracket and Bluetooth front driveshaft.

I was gonna say, I don't understand how people are doing front driveshaft angles like this but I can't lift my XJ more than 8", but, this one doesn't have one...

It's the Bluetooth driveshaft from Adams

I’m intrigued. Seems like it would be a nightmare to keep everything lined up after welding.

Maybe he could put it on a mill to face both sides when he’s done welding

This is what a single redneck ram was mounted too. It’s a 1” hole and 7/8” bolt and that 1/8" plate is welded to a stock diff cover.

 

[SLOWPOKE693]

I don't see a problem. It's covered in dirt but not bent or ripped off and must have worked, so is it really wrong?

Customer States: Front diff leaks every time he turns the steering wheel.

What we think happened. It was like 6" taller and the ram was mounted on top of the axle. Someone lowered it and made that contraption and sold it.

So he needs a new gasket?
