that's about the most cutting I've seen on an xj, so tell me...

what does that unibody feel like now?

is it weaker than you ever thoguht it would be? or is it stronger?

that sheet metal above the floorboards is a joke, isn't it?

 

[macgyvr]

Its definately not as weak or flimsy as I thought it would be...

I haven't jumped on the jeep in the middle of it or anthing, but it still seems pretty strudy...

he's going to put a cage in it and wheel it till he gets it paid for then save for something with a frame....

seriously, start screwing around with it.

this is an excellent time to learn more about the unibody, which you could apply to yours if you decide to cut....

I'm damn curious.

I wish I was closer so I could get my moon walk awn.....

go jump on that thang

 

[macgyvr]

will do!!

my roommate should be home anytime from work....that and i've got a really good beer buzz right now....so one of us will go jump on it and see how much she flexes....

and i have been scoping out what he's cut, i've got a couple of idea how i want to cut mine, and i've been looking at his to see how the pop can is put together.....

well i ended up getting hammered that night and we did jump on what's left of the XJ. And my 250 pds just made the suspension move, the unibody still seemed to be way more stiff than i expected.

As it goes, he's gonna plate the uniframe, add a cage, and add a rear crossmember to go btw the rear leaf spring mounts, and wheel the heck out of it....

So, what size tires is the X-less J running? They look pretty small next to those 42's. Are they 36's or just 33's?
Hard to tell, and just wondering

Thanks

Looks good. You guys will have to come wheel over here in Illinois sometime

 

[macgyvr]

the X-less J is running 33x12.5x15 tsls.....

not sure when we will get to wheel again....
