Ooops, looks like I'm a little late for the party. We're saving it all for Megarun in March. Zach's got to defend his "King of the Hill" title from last year. Ya'll have fun, come on to Barnwell...

I think I'll just build my own. It should be cheaper.
Chromos or maybe some (real expensive) rcv axles, trusses, 4:56 gears, locker (type TBD),tube seals, all new moog ball joints, knuckle over steering.
Well the trade fell apart so we're back to square one. Given the awesome performance from the Xj at Hidden Falls this weekend I'm going to build the 8.25 and the D30 up and torture them. It'll be...
The Xj:

The crawler:...
Look like I'm fixing to put some massive axles under the Xj. I'm trading for these "tonz" this weekend.

The cage is padded, the harnesses in, the doors off, all the drive line and suspension carnage is repaired, we are ready to wheel again!...
The cage is finally finished (for now). I may put an "a" pillar loop in it later but I'm out of time for now. We've got a bunch of repairs to complete before we leave for the Wounded Warriors event...
2 weeks from today! I'm ready to go! (my rigs aren't but we're working).
Since the front loop has to accommodate leg room for the rear passengers it presents some real challenges to make it as strong as it needs to be. I've added 2 more vertical supports from the floor to...
Well after a major design change the back loop is done. A strong cage will have as many nodes as possible together to transfer the forces through the cage and not dissipate the energy by bending a...
Rear hoop nearly finished.

With all the carnage from Easter weekend there are a lot of parts on order. While I'm waiting on everything to be delivered I started on the roll cage. So far I've completed the main hoop and have...
While I'm waiting on parts to fix the locker and axles I fixed the steering issues, permanently! I welded the frame back together and then fabbed up a steering box brace. It ties into the steering...
Yep sheared all the little pins that are held in place by the springs. I haven't pulled it out to see what the malfunction is but it made a mess. My son was driving when all this happened, my wife...
Easter weekend 2015, one for the history books! We had a blast wheel'n but did we ever destroy some stuff! Both axle shafts, the new locker, rear drive shaft, all grenaded, tore the steering box...
Awesome news. I'm so glad everything is going so good. She looks like pure gold.
Tell me more?????
Nice build!
Excellent question. I don't know the "technical" answer but I tighten mine until it quits squealing under a load (A/C, power steering etc.)
She's much more pleasant to look at that those other 2 mugs.:D:smiley-scared003:
Well, that escalated quickly! SOLD!
Really?!? Whatever in the world could possibly be consuming all your time?:D
I failed to mention I might be open to a trade of some sort. Try me!
I have an ARB bumper like this one for sale:
