Never been, but I'll be there for a bachelor party next weekend. I'd tell you I would take notes for you but I don't expect to be sober much if at all :thumbup:

Eh, patch it for what? If it's going to happen again it'll happen again patch or not, or somewhere you didn't patch, or the other side of the jeep or something. Who cares. If it breaks, then patch it. It's the same amount of risk either way.

Ideally it needs a cage but you would just whine about a scratch in the cage.
Basically you have a vagina.
The front passenger rail/crossmember on my MJ was mangled when I got it. I just threw some plate over the rail and cut out the crossmember.

He needs to plate his vagina. At least then something of Pat's could take a beating.

Go buy a helmet.
I'm not sure if I'll have new shocks by the June race so prepare for your back/ass to hurt.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Ideally? Yes. Realistically? Not going to happen. At this point all I'm doing is chasing my tail with this shell, and the time and money for a cage would be a waste at this point. I'm not crying and saying I'm going to part it out, I'm just not fooling myself into thinking this thing is worth it. If I were to build another ZJ or XJ, I would plate it front to rear, and do a hybrid cage from the start in hopes that it would stay together longer. That being said, I'll probably end up swapping the good parts of this rig (axles/tranny/tcase/links/etc) into a YJ or a TJ, unless I buy some sort of reliable DD then I would just use my current XJ to start from. Who knows, maybe I'll build a ****ing Tracker, but I don't give a **** about that now, I'm just going to beat the shit out of this thing for as long as I can then worry about it. I'd bet I could get the rest of this season, and maybe part of next year out of the ZJ before it's totally junked.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
The framerails on my red jeep put the framerails on black jeep to shame. Those got hammered and bent to hell and back, black jeep was decent with only some dents in spots. I wouldn't have been able to get stiffeners on red jeep after the damage.

Dude you got a couple of dents in the body and a bent unibody rail, big ****ing whoop, plate it, tube it and STFU

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
J ust found this.
dont know if its a repost but I thought it was great.
I've said it before, but the Jeep 4.0L engine is the toughest, least maintenance-demanding engine I have ever had personal experience with. Folks on the internet know that the Jeep 4.0L is durable, but they know little of its history.
The original Jeep 4.0L inline-six was hewn from a solid block of granite by lightning bolts. Its cylinders were bored by the Imperial Winds and its rotating assembly was balanced by the Scales of Justice. The Ancient Egyptians used Jeep 4.0L engines to move the blocks which built the Pyramids, only switching to slave labor when it was found to be cheaper than the olive oil used to fuel the engines. Scientists have ranked the Jeep 4.0L engine as one of the strongest forces of nature, racking right up there with tectonic plate shifts for its low-end torque, and being surpassed by hurricanes only for its comparatively low redline.
Mechanics have found imprints of fossilized dinosaur bones in block castings, and serial numbers in Roman numerals are a common sight. The design of the 4.0L's fuel injection system has been traced to the archives of Leonardo DaVinci, and early manuscripts of Shakespeare plays have been used as head gaskets for this engine (which, incidentally, explains the gaps in Shakespeare's collected works as well as the 4.0L's tendancy to leak oil). The engine's ancient roots also explain its ability to run on some very non-conventional fuels (original translations of the Rosetta Stone include evidence of Jeep 4.0L engines running on ox blood) as well as lubrications (during the Middle Ages, Jeep 4.0L crankcases were often filled with barley, with no detrimental effect on power output).
Historians maintain that the fall of the Roman Empire hinged on their inability to design a superior engine, and had the Titanic been powered by a 4.0L Jeep engine, 1912 might have been a much happier year. Yes, had early-20th-century naval engineers had a touch more foresight, the Jeep 4.0L may have saved mankind from ever having to endure Leonardo DiCaprio and Celene Dion in the same sitting.
The only weakness in this otherwise unstoppable force of nature? Emissions. Yes, the engine's design may have come from the hand of Zeus, and its exhaust note at full throttle may have reverberated along the rock formations of Arizona to forge the Grand Canyon, but by the year 2007 its crude emissions control (originally consisting of papyrus strips soaked in the tears of the young Tutankhaman) had become outmoded, and the legendary, nay Biblical force of the Jeep 4.0L was put to rest.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Pat, take a look at my driver frame rail right by the gas tank sometime. I've been wheeling for two years with a bigger crack in my frame than you're currently worrying about. Handled my antics in KotUJ, Rocktoberfest 2011, NACFest 2012, Camp Underground a couple times, blasting up and down a few local trails about like Dry Hill every night for most of spring 2012, etc.
One of these months I may actually pull the welder out and fix it.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
There's no crack yet, just a good kink/bend.
I think everyone has misunderstood me. I'm not planning to stop wheeling the ZJ, or to even take it easy on it, it's just something I noticed today and will keep my eye on to make sure it doesn't get any worse. It was creaking pretty good when the front passenger side would get bound up on the last few trips, and I don't want to be left stranded. For now I'll just FIRI and have it in the back of my mind that I should start figuring out what the next build platform will be. Speaking of which, when are you gonna sell me that damn blue MJ?

If it breaks and rips a giant 12 inch wide hole, no problem. I'm sure Dan will be there to stuff his giant dick in it and save the day. Dan would be more than happy to have found a crack wide enough to fit his swollen chode dick in.
