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.

Yup, you got a good start on a good boat anchor there
jgreen
02-13-2015, 09:55 PM
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

I'd have to agree lol

02-21-2015, 05:39 PM
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.

Wow.....the rails look good though.
jgreen
02-21-2015, 08:35 PM
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
02-21-2015, 08:39 PM
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.

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

02-21-2015, 09:34 PM
Cool GA is a great place too lots of wheelin i hear.

02-21-2015, 09:53 PM
