Potential New XJer in Littleton

kick ass man! post some pics and stats bud!
youll be happier building it yourself (aside from the busted knuckles and choice words of course :D )


edit:
just saw post on cojeeps!
that thing is super clean man! good call
 
Yeah he grabbed the one posted up for Nick. Very clean rig, I was eyeing that thing hard.
 
Here is some progress on my rig. As some of you know, I got a bumper from Dutch - he offered to help me put it on, so we got that done today. While we were at it, we did some fender trimming. I had some reservations about the trimming (not wanting to be haunted by crooked-azz lines from a wheel cutter or sawzall), but Dutch and his plasma cutter did an awesome job! Bumper fits nicely!

Many thanks to Dutch for his assistance...sorry to take over your garage 'til the wee hours last night man! Phase 1 of the project is almost complete! Turns out the spare rim I have has a big crack in it and won't hold air with the bigger rubber. I do have spare rubber for it, but probably a trip back to the junk yard will be in order soon for a scrap stock rim to use for the spare. Still searching for the right roof rack. Then Phase 1 should be done. O I forgot - it also currently has a bored out throttle body, with a spacer soon to come.

Phase 2 - gears and rear lunch-box-locker, SYE, and winch.
 
:droool:

love that alignment machine. sure is spensive but oh boy does it make life easy! very nice!
 
id hope not, its a 70k machine....
just wish i had access to one...

$55 isnt too bad for an alignment at all :thumbup:
 
Looks good man... Im not really a fan of the all chrome wheels though. I had the same ones on my old rig and did this to them.
