[FlexdXJ]

Knucklehead, I sent you a PM. Hoping I can help in someway. Keep up the good work!

 

[Jes]

6 hours to wire a stereo? Maybe you should stick to the bolt on parts. :roflmao:

Had to fabricate brackets to mount the speakers.
Maybe I should just stick to the bolt-on mods? :spin1:

 

[Bryan C.]

I will be there tomorrow, probably around 11 or so.

it wont bolt on but i can modify it to fit the clayton crossmember.
if you don't want it & feel like donating it i am sure i can make it fit & this rig certainly will need some type of t-case protection.

There were a few new faces at the build yesterday oldmanxj and crazymoose came out to lend a hand and cheer on the knucklehead who is a whirlwind in the shop.

and a few returning veteran builders Bryan C and Jes:

Bryan C made progress mounting the RADesign shifter and the remote winch controller. Jes made a custom mount for the ARB compressor and began to make a cover for the hole removing the stock shifter left. Meanwhile Tim installed the Clayton longarms and shocks as well as the Currie steering. Tim also installed the rear axle earlier in the week.

a meeting of the minds

Tim and Jes dialing in the toe

there are a few more pics on my photobucket page but I don't know how to link to the album so here is a link to another picture and you can see the rest from there http://s285.beta.photobucket.com/user/hiimmred/media/2013NAXJA Giveaway Jeep/CIMG3726.jpg.html

Thank you gentlemen!

 

[Letterman]

I wanted to be there, been sick all week, missed 3 days of work . . . and I don't get paid to stay home, need to get rid of this cold to get paid, so I stayed home to get better. (also did not want to give anyone this cold)

Looks like some nice work, and big thanks to Oldmanxj for the cross member donation.

I am almost healthy now, so I hope to make the next one.

 

[knucklehead 61]

the factory will be closed this weekend.

I'm very interested in helping when I have a free chance. However I'm new to the Sierra area and have no idea where the fun factory is. Somebody please tell me where this magical land of XJ's and wrench turning is at.

 

[Bryan C.]

San Jose. Where are you located at? And welcome to the area.

 

[Joe98XJ]

OK wow SJ will be a haul for me. I live in Coleville about 30 miles north of the 108 on the 395. I'm closer to NV then anything else in CA.
