    You may find that the front axle shifter digs into your leg. It would mine. I made both mine short and straight for that reason. I haven't seen it, but there is or was a county sheriffs XJ that...

    Doesn't that look pretty Tony? You can see the offset is much thicker than the 242. I suggest you take a BFH to the floorboard so you can mount it up far enough it won't hang down too far. That is...
