Anyone catch it in the Ten Factory booth at expo?

We're starting to prep it for Baja. Going to drive it down, pre-run the whole course and drive back.
It's ready!

Saw that.
Noticed your factory lower control arm mounts are still there.

...backup plan?

 

[FatCity]

Glad you mentioned that. Ryan and I are having a Mexican stand-off on who's going to lay under it and cut that junk off....
It'll be gone before Baja.

See this is on the cover of 4 wheel and off road. Congrats to that!

Thanks!

Do you have any pictures of the rear door handles or the rear doors open? I'm curious to see how you got the flares to work with the rear doors.

Super nice build.

this never got answered, but i was wondering the same thing too..

I bought a copy in the new Orleans airport last week just because you were on the cover. Best airplane reading material I could have asked for. You guys officially built the coolest XJ to date.

We cut the fenders in half. They're pretty sturdy still. Right now I open the rear doors from the inside. In the future, the plan is to get door poppers like the low riders. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/130734731760?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true

I know it's been asked before, but do you have any plans on selling the brackets for mounting the ttb? I have a 8 lug 44 ttb sitting in the carport waiting for me to return home in a couple of months to start throwing it under my 01. A set of the brackets would make it an easier start.

No plans to sell it.
I have about 150+ drawings in the computer all with similar names for the different pieces.
It would take us too much time to weed out the final cut parts from the mock parts...

 

[FatCity]

Been prepping the TTBXJ for the Baja 1000 pre-run coming up.
We decided to finally tub the rear. The 37's rub like crazy. Not anymore though...
