Pretty fun time! Lots of cool rigs, not as big of an event as they made it out to be. Everything could have been done in a day. Did score a sweet crown valve cover on the cheap. Here's some pics I...

We have a lot of offroaders around here, just none that want to tread lightly. They want to tear things up and drink beer. I'm ready to move out west anyway lol.

I'm from Fairmont WV, a little south of Morgantown. I'm a member of the West Virginia Jeep Club, have been for the last 5 years. We used to have an event like this in the middle of the state at a...
Man that's exactly what we need here in my neck of the woods!

Got the new bearing and seal installed on the yoke. No more leaks. I am having a strange issue with my front lockright though. It is binding when turning left even in 2wd. Lots of feedback through...
On the way to work yesterday, I started smelling something burning. Pulled over and found this

Waiting on my 99+ intake manifold to get here from UPS. Once it arrives, going to powder coat it. Did my favorite mod so far, 98 ZJ seats. Wow those suckers are comfy! Only problem is they are power...
Ordered a new header today to replace my cracked one. It's nice having a dad that owns an exhaust shop lol.

Like the look of those. Could also mount my high lift and C02 tank on that. Thanks for the ideas!

Has anyone successfully fit a 35 inside while retaining the rear seat?

I was so happy to have her back! Everything went as good as expected! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/22/7ec7260db08715c9109283f2ec5f7bad.jpg
I then fabbed up a hitch tire carrier so I could...
But alas, all was not lost. I took a chance at a local junkyard and found a 29 Mercury Mountaineer with a perfect 8.8 rearend. It was disc brake, 4.10 gears, and had a LSD. I picked it up for $50! A...
Unfortunately, the gears both front and rear were not setup properly and destroyed themselves first time I took it out! I was super bummed and didn't have the type of cash to fix it. Buford 2 set for...
Now comes the not so fun part. A local wheeler in our club finished building his 5.9 360 swapped XJ and his 4.56 gears were too low on the street coupled with the v8 power and 5 speed. He offered to...
Next came the bulk of goodies!

Figured it was time to start a build thread here. Little backstory, I've built a total of 5 XJ'S in my life. It always seems like something happens and I have to get rid of one as soon as it's...
So, I keep blowing my front cheapo shocks (stock YJ Sensocraps) and I need so.ething a little longer with a better rebound. I know bilsteins are the best, but that's just not in the budget right now....
Or like most people, myself included, a lunchbox front
Lots of people say that it's better to be locked front first then rear. Personal opinions. Front is usually cheaper too. I say lock whichever axle is stronger first. I'm locked front with posi rear.
