my jeep cought fire on easter....:(

[256offroad]

well i no longer have an offroad rig....as i was driving my xj over 4mile post it started to catch fire so i pulled into the brusters parking lot and it began to burn more and more and more so much that a fire extiguisher wouldnt do jack...esp since my hood was to hot to open to spray the fire out...so now i have a burned xj sittin in my driveway...the entire interior is gone all the engine bay stuff is burned everything but the lift and tires are burned or melted...ill put some pics up later...so it looks like i am gonna be drivin the chevy agian...
this jeep has been my ol project...i am only 17 years old.. i bought this jeep thinkin it was gonna be my offroad rig...it started out with cut fenders and rusted on plastic ol buckshots...it sat for 3 years before i got it..i payed 500 bucks for it..got it running wheeled it twice...bought a 4.5" rc used lift put that on there...then bought some rubicon takeoffs and painted it primer red and wheeled it twice more..once was sat at coal mine for easter...so this has been ruff for me...esp since i bought it in december and it is already gone....

im not even in this chapter but I couldnt help to read it, i hate seeing this happen to a fellow wheeler. I really hope to see you back up with a new rig on the trails asap!

those are rubicon take offs!? Looks like the originals to me!

Still hate to see that happen. Best of luck in the quest for a new Jeep. Maybe you can go a bit newer

i think he meant that he "took" them off of a rubicon. not knock-offs (aka fake) like you're thinking. but i could be wrong

Or you could chop it and build a xj/buggy. Also dont give up on it yet. Find a wrecked one that has everything in it and fix it.

Thats what I was orig. thinking, because i've never heard of any fake moab wheels....not to say that there aren't any, i've just never heard of them.

yea i pulled those wheels off a 06 rubicon...they are fine...cept the spare..the mtr is shot on my spare tire..but the wheel is fine.
