UPS guy delivered my Andy's upper control arms (Merry Christmas to me :rolleye0012:), and the wife and kids gave me a DeWalt 18v combo with drill/driver, 1/4" impact, reciprocating saw, and light.

That was one hell of a tree you have for Christmas if you found that under it!! I'd love to get that for Christmas... even if it was a self purchased/picked gift!!, can't wait to see what it becomes, after seeing your XJ!!

I didn't get anything for X-mas... but did find out from my EX.. that she got the laptop that I purchased while deployed, and never even got to see that she gave away to someone, back because she felt bad... (thank goodness for that conscience... cause I was really pissed/depressed when I got home and she told me she had sold it!!)... so I guess that was a X-mas present that I really wanted... And I am getting an OtterBox Defender camo edition for my Galaxy S3

Is that a Cane Corso? I know their temperaments are great, but man, would not want to see that coming at me....

thats a bullmastiff. thought about a cane but they can be slightly more aggressive than bullies. If we're ever blessed with a child, I don't want to have to worry about leaving the two together or getting another dog or catching flack from anyone

[XJ Wheeler]

Everybody was sick so we got a bit of a late start.

I ended up with a Dremel, creeper, 1st edition James Bradley's "Flyboys", among a couple other small things. The Rustys fuel tank skid hasn't come yet.

Awesome wheeler. love those dremel tools. a bajillion attachments for 'em.

I just found a breeder in Sherman- 3 hours away- so this is looking more and more like a real possibility. Very good ppl it seems so far from our 7 minute convo.

My creeper is a bit futile due to my xj being parked on grass. :rolleye0012:

You gonna get a bayonet for that?

[LizardRunner]

I got all my christmas presents early and since we didn't have a tree, presents would have hand to be under the tinsel. My main present was a M21 sniper rifle, I have the bayonet for it as well as 30 magazines, 1000 rounds of ammo, range finder and the scope is good for 1000+ meter shots.

Hard to see, but it is there. On a hinge that is permanently attached to the barrel, it's a wicked poker for sure.

Several of these things I knew I was receiving, but several were a total surprise. I never once mentioned a rivet tool to anybody, but I did want one! Santa is real! LOL.

Sounds like a pretty good Christmas. Skip the PS3 and put that money in the Jeep Fund!!! :bacondance: :D

[Brasscatz]

Lol, I had thought about putting it in the Jeep fund, but I'm still rockin' the original xbox and it's time for a new system. ps3's are cheaper now that ps4 is out and there's not a whole lot of difference between them. I'm not a huge gamer, but I can get a lot of enjoyment out it a new system, plus it'll be my new blue ray player as well ;)

Plus, I think I'm all set on the Jeep for a little while. Gotta install the parts I already have then I think bumpers will be next. Gonna be a while for that though.

Aye. From a 79 I believe. But it's got to be better than the 232 I have now.

This one ran when a buddy pulled it last summer. It's cheaper than what it would cost me to get the 232 running.

I got some golf gear. Bought myself some irons and played 3 courses in Florida. Wife's Getting me a toolbox when we get back.

My family decided a few years ago that running around buying "things" for people who had more crap than they needed anyway was not what its all about. Makes the season much more enjoyable.

Nothing so far... got $50 in my stocking at my mother-in-law's. Driving to Ft. Worth tomorrow to see my family

[abebehrmann]

Got them a bit before Xmas but finally painted and installed recently.

Next up for the XJ is finally installing my 5.9L ZJ Hood Vents I picked from the JY a few months ago.

Also built this for my dog for Xmas. 5'x5'x4' dog kennel on top of plywood base covered with laminate. I think she'll be happier in there than the crate she has been spending her days in. Pretty sure she has the nicest room in the house now too!

Gift cards for kms tools and lee valley, methinks the kms card will become an aluminum spool gun for my welder, and the lee valley card will be a neat led flashlight to keep in Mort.

Christmas. Tree. Presents. GO!

[OldFaurt]

That was one hell of a tree you have for Christmas if you found that under it!! I'd love to get that for Christmas... even if it was a self purchased/picked gift!!, can't wait to see what it becomes, after seeing your XJ!!

I didn't get anything for X-mas... but did find out from my EX.. that she got the laptop that I purchased while deployed, and never even got to see that she gave away to someone, back because she felt bad... (thank goodness for that conscience... cause I was really pissed/depressed when I got home and she told me she had sold it!!)... so I guess that was a X-mas present that I really wanted... And I am getting an OtterBox Defender camo edition for my Galaxy S3

It is not under the tree, but I was notified today I won a Bubba Rope Renegade. Just right for Jeeps. The provider is

It is quickly becoming a valued resource for wheeling spots and he does have give aways as well as a notice for recovery if you need it

Okay where did you get the sweatshirts? I might need one of those.

[TallGuyJeep]

I got them online. A page on Facebook posts them up occasionally. Did a whole bunch before Christmas. I imagine they will start doing some more soon... Here is the link to the page: https://m.facebook.com/Jeepology/
Worth the follow too, they post a bunch of awesome jeeps, mostly XJs :) when they start printing more I'll try to remember to post up on here too

I seem to be running behind on everything these days... but I finally have air!

With a few essentials also from HF thanks to my brother. Although I've barely gotten to use it with needing different fittings and the cheap shut off valve from HD cracking as soon as I opened it.

Also got a sand blasting kit from HF.

And a couple new lights. The little rounds ones to hopefully replace my rock lights and the cubes were suppose to be reverse lights but they are mistakenly spots.

You made out pretty well

Not too shabby. :D It's mostly "by request" in my family. That way you get the right compressor. [emoji14]

Nice you're going to love having a compressor. I use mine at least weekly, even if not working on jeep. Good start on air tools too.

Thanks man! Yeah, I'm really looking forward to using it... if I can ever get everything together. Opens up things I couldn't do before. :D

Dang, you got quite the haul! Having the compressor and air tools is definitely going to make working on the Jeep a whole lot more enjoyable.

It's been a while since I've had access to air. Getting excited, especially to try the blaster. :D I finally got the fittings (hopefully the right ones) to get it hooked up.

Well, we finally got to go up to visit my family for our Christmas this weekend. Thought we'd better do it now before I don't have any free weekends anymore.

Dad did good and got me a nice sanding block, some spade drill bits, a magnetic bit holder, some pipe-clamps and a NICE new Craftsman router and router bits! Since Mom passed this past October, it's been pretty tough going through the motions without her. My dad still put "From Mom & Dad" on all our gifts. It just felt right to see it there like that.

My sister's friend also made a "mom" collage for us that featured photos of my mom and us together. It was a very heartfelt gift and I will treasure it always.

Thanks bro, I did need it. Mom always said, "It doesn't matter WHEN we get together for the holidays, it only matters THAT we get together."

Alright, i'm late again this year but who got the stuff to make us all jealous?!?!

[XJ Wheeler]

Alright, looks like we missed last year but try try again!

Myself, I came out sweet with a HF blasting cabinet, Dewalt orbital sander, one of those little car battery jump packs, spot weld cutting bits, new dizzy cap and rotor as my cap has a crack, a gymbal for my gopro, and of course... a heep of candy!

So looking forward to setting up that cabinet as I've just been having to blast behind my jeep so sand get all over the vehicles. And I've been trying to set the compressor up better to give dryer air so I can contemplate how bad I'd be at painting.

The gymbal too. I found a bundle with a gopro that I planned on giving my brother anyway and for a bit more got a near new gymbal.

Your turn!
