I'll have to try and post the vid on here. There is an old 80 something van buried in the woods we wanted to pull out and scrap. I chained it around the upper A arm and frame then to my brothers 30ft ARB recovery strap. Bounced off that 6/7 times with a 20ft tuning start, pulled the jeep all around but the bumper was fine haha.

I'll be makin my own soon and giving this one to my buddy, the engine shop guy who's doing my 5.3 for some extra work. It's such a whore.


The property is in East Wallingford, that was probably the last time we go up this year with everything like that. I may go up in the car again this mo th or next just to mess around or work on a few things.

I have a few more pics I'll have to get off my real camera later.
One a friend took while we were wandering around near the river.

Movin on over to yet another XJ......

 

[XJLI]

that whore bumper. thing is moab tested and cross country travel approved.

Well after having 4 days off I figured I'd cut the fenders and made a little progress on this toilet.

Hammer time

Cleaning metal and prep is over rated, just burn the paint off

LS block is all final cleaned and on the stand for assembly.

 

[sardo_67]

CNC stuff

Found a thingy to bolt the other thing to the tranny

Quick measuring and it looks like i won't have to cut the floor to fit the 205 under there since its damn near the size of a 231. So I have that going for me at least.

 

[sardo_67]

Did a lot of shit, didn't take pics, sold 37s like a dumb ass, bought 40" Kevlars.

Also put Asian eyes on my XJ, instead of those angry eyes everyone does.

 

[autoboy454]

You change tires more than i change socks

 

[sardo_67]

Only had 3 sets on it.


Probably a 4th, I need 37" Kevlars. Or the new street compound Treps, but I'm hesitant to drop 2g on tires I don't trust in the snow.

 

[XJLI]

those 37s are actually 38s, and they looks great on my buddy's comanche. lol.

The 37s I sold? Or the Kevlars?

KM2s. Pretty sure they were yours at one point.

 

[sardo_67]

Well...... Unibody frame stiffeners suck ass

 

[sardo_67]

Doesn't get any more pointless than this. Washed it

And slipped off the tire and broke my bucket

 

[sardo_67]

Some shit fell off the other day.

 

[XJLI]

All that money under this thing and you're still running white body shocks.

 

[sardo_67]

Yea others are expensive. I got those for free in a Rustys XJ 4" lift kit that was taken off to put on a real one.

 

[sardo_67]

Fuel cell shit.

TIG weld mount tabs.

Then more paint and rust removal, plumbing next weekend.

After that some driving and PSC steering ram shit.
