Obstacle : :firedevil
Need to purchase most of the parts from STATES (Stroker Kit, Engine, Acessories, lockers, Axles, Walker Evans Racing Coil-Over Shocks).

Need to shipped all of the parts by Sea Freight +7 weeks (or Air Freight +2 weeks) everything from the states to Jakarts, Indonesia

Need to FABRICATE the Lower and Upper mounting for the Front Dual Rate Coil Over Shocks.
Need to FABRICATE the Lower and Upper mounting for the Rear Dual Rate Coil Over Shocks.
Need to FABRICATE the Lower Pararel Link and Upper Triangulated Link for the Rear Axle.
Need to install all of the Spare-Parts and Fine-Tuning
Need to purchase additional SPARE-PARTS and others small items

This all is what we call challenge (if not impossible) and FUN (I mean lots of it....!!!) :roll:



NO, we are not trying to be SMART or to SHOW-UP our capabilities, but rather to get help, ideas and guidance from all of you guys in helping us to built and complete this HUMMBLE XJ in Indonesia.

We know that most of you guys for sure have seen a better XJ than what we are about to built,

My other links http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-315161.html


OHHHHHHH :callme: , well, maybe I am dreaming a little bit too much. Anyway, I will start posting parts that already here and some progress on the FABRICATION.


I wished I were in the states, where I have access to spare parts, technical expertise, Friends, etc...... rather than be here by ourselves.
NOW don't you guys feel so lucky just being in the STATES ???:wave1:


PS: Is there any way that I can UPLOAD Picture please ???
