[4.3LXJ]

Yuk :timeout:

[jgreen]

Yea no good at all. I can't figure out how he managed it because all the bearings look good and spin freely. But either way it needed an upgrade.

[4.3LXJ]

Yup, you got a good start on a good boat anchor there

[jgreen]

I have a jeep so I can't afford a boat so I'll make it a jeep anchor. Ill tie a rope arround it and Just throw it out when ever I park. Haha

[Brasscatz]

Or hang it on your wall like antlers LOL

[jgreen]

No updates on the xj but I did get some good wheeling in today.

[4.3LXJ]

Nice, I like it

[XJ Wheeler]

Color me jealous!

[jgreen]

Haha thanks guys my son loves his jeep and he's always trying to do crazy stuff in it. I don't know where he gets it from.

[4.3LXJ]

Just wait until he gets older ……..

[XJ Wheeler]

Sounds like you got a wheeling buddy for life.

Sent via messenger pigeon - i talk, he types.

[Brasscatz]

Even that thing has more flex than a 2014 Cherokee....

[jgreen]

I'd have to agree lol

[jgreen]

Well I finally got out and did some more work on the xj. I've been trying to figure out how I wanted to start my build. I thought about just replacing my rear end and having it driveable and work on it piece by piece but today I found where I really need to start.

[autotech98]

Wow.....the rails look good though.

[jgreen]

Yeah the main rails look good to me plus I have the ruff stuff chassis stiffeners so I'm going to clean everything up and get them welded on then weld in some new metal on the floors.

[jgreen]

But since I either have to cut the front part of the chassis stiffener at the front lower control arm mount or cut the lca mount off I think I'm going to cut the lca mount off get the most out of my Frame stiffeners and build long arms for the front. Along with a new Trans crossmember with lca mount on it.

[autotech98]

Cold down there? Ive got family lives in jacksonville. I

[jgreen]

Actually I've moved to GA. I joined like 3 years ago but I haven't had a jeep since a little while after I joined. But I'm back with a hell of a project. But yes it's been cold here

[4.3LXJ]

Oh man, that is a real Flintstone mobile you have there. It is a good thing you have some skills to deal with that

[autotech98]

Cool GA is a great place too lots of wheelin i hear.

[jgreen]

Oh yeah besides the fact that I've been dieing to get another 4x4 there is tons of great wheeling around where I live

[autotech98]

Did some wheelin in the snow on the way to work tonight. Gotta get to the trails soon though.
