Why don't you just wheel the XJ?

1.) Block lift is not safe.
2.) It wont make it o Gilmer.
3.) I'll get serious death wobble on my attempt to get to Gilmer.
4.) If I do make it to Gilmer, it wont make it back. I wheel too hard. lol
5.) It hasn't seen "real" trail yet. But I know it will rollover thanks to it's high center of gravity.
6.) It's not running.
7.) I'm trying to sell it not add more battle scars than what it already has.
8.) It's uncomfortable on the lumbar.
9.) It doesn't have a radio for me to jam to on my way there.
10.) It screams "pull me over!"
11.) All the fat chicks wanna try to jump in my poor o'l XJ and see if they can make it. If they make it, they're not fat anymore. If they don't make it, they walk away in tears complaining of how fat they are.
12.) It smells like wet dog on a hot day.
13.) I don't want to embarrass anybody's rig after they witness a beast on the trails.
14.) I don't feel like spending my money for the new XJ on anymore replacement parts for this one.
15.) I feel like getting to know the terrain riding shotgun first before I take my rig up there.
16.) Most likely for RoM 2011 i'll be up there competing, I mean; Dominating.


:cool:
 
There is a limited for sale right down the street from my house. 4x4 body is straight, but the clear coat is flaking off. High mileage, but runs good, could be had for less than $1k.
 
1.) Block lift is not safe.

Remove the blocks. Heck, bring it to my house and I'll remove them for you.

2.) It wont make it o Gilmer.

Why? What's wrong with it? My Uncle's a television repair man, and he's got a bodacious set of tools. We can fix it. We can fix anything.

3.) I'll get serious death wobble on my attempt to get to Gilmer.

Fix the trac bar. Make sure everything is torqued down tightly.

4.) If I do make it to Gilmer, it wont make it back. I wheel too hard. lol

You'd be amazed at what we can fix on the trail!

5.) It hasn't seen "real" trail yet. But I know it will rollover thanks to it's high center of gravity.

So, again, let's pull the blocks out and you can follow DG's ungawdly tall XJ around. :)

6.) It's not running.

See the above comments on fixing things.

7.) I'm trying to sell it not add more battle scars than what it already has.

Don't ram it into stuff!

8.) It's uncomfortable on the lumbar.

Pillow?

9.) It doesn't have a radio for me to jam to on my way there.

iPod? Fine, come get my tow bar and flat tow the XJ with your WJ.

10.) It screams "pull me over!"

Don't drive like an idiot or do anything illegal?

11.) All the fat chicks wanna try to jump in my poor o'l XJ and see if they can make it. If they make it, they're not fat anymore. If they don't make it, they walk away in tears complaining of how fat they are.

I'm just gonna leave that one alone......

12.) It smells like wet dog on a hot day.

Fabreeze

13.) I don't want to embarrass anybody's rig after they witness a beast on the trails.

And again you sound like Flores....You may wanna know that after all his smack talking, his XJ had to be pulled outta the park because it was not drivable. ;)

14.) I don't feel like spending my money for the new XJ on anymore replacement parts for this one.

Motorsports are 80% driver 20% machine (well, except Nascar...that's 20% machine, 80% too much beer).

15.) I feel like getting to know the terrain riding shotgun first before I take my rig up there.

While riding biatch has it's place, there is not teacher like experience.

16.) Most likely for RoM 2011 i'll be up there competing, I mean; Dominating.

Sparty....Sparty..... Wake up man, you're dreaming again.

My gawd, you have more excuses that my last wife did when I asked her why she was leaving me!

lol. alright. i dont have the stock suspension though. what do we replace it with?

2.) It wont make it o Gilmer.

Why? What's wrong with it? My Uncle's a television repair man, and he's got a bodacious set of tools. We can fix it. We can fix anything.

You sure? That's what the last guy who checked it out said. I don't know where he is.

 3.) I'll get serious death wobble on my attempt to get to Gilmer.

It doesn't have one. lmao!

 4.) If I do make it to Gilmer, it wont make it back. I wheel too hard. lol

Ok. we'll see.

5.) It hasn't seen "real" trail yet. But I know it will rollover thanks to it's high center of gravity.

So, again, let's pull the blocks out and you can follow DG's ungawdly tall XJ around. :)

We have to find a new suspension first. no. first thing we gotta do is make it run.

6.) It's not running.

See the above comments on fixing things.

Can you fix it? I gave up.

7.) I'm trying to sell it not add more battle scars than what it already has.

Don't ram it into stuff!

That's hard for me lol

8.) It's uncomfortable on the lumbar.

Pillow?

blehg

9.) It doesn't have a radio for me to jam to on my way there.

iPod? Fine, come get my tow bar and flat tow the XJ with your WJ.

the WJ doesn't have a tow package lmao!

10.) It screams "pull me over!"

Don't drive like an idiot or do anything illegal?

i dont. cops are just racist.

11.) All the fat chicks wanna try to jump in my poor o'l XJ and see if they can make it. If they make it, they're not fat anymore. If they don't make it, they walk away in tears complaining of how fat they are.

I'm just gonna leave that one alone......

you wanna try and jump in?

12.) It smells like wet dog on a hot day.

Fabreeze

tried and failed

13.) I don't want to embarrass anybody's rig after they witness a beast on the trails.

And again you sound like Flores....You may wanna know that after all his smack talking, his XJ had to be pulled outta the park because it was not drivable. ;)

yeah, well im SpartyKrunk! Not Flores. lol

14.) I don't feel like spending my money for the new XJ on anymore replacement parts for this one.

Motorsports are 80% driver 20% machine (well, except Nascar...that's 20% machine, 80% too much beer).

What does this have to do with my excuse?

15.) I feel like getting to know the terrain riding shotgun first before I take my rig up there.

While riding biatch has it's place, there is not teacher like experience.

Didn't seem to work out with you and your last wife huh?

 16.) Most likely for RoM 2011 i'll be up there competing, I mean; Dominating.

Sparty....Sparty..... Wake up man, you're dreaming again.

I thought it was because she had to where the pants in the relationship because MM wanted to wear the dress, errr I mean kilt.:jester::jester:

j/k MM, I'm sure that she had her reasons, I just couldn't resist the joke...But look at it this way you may have never met any of us if you where still with the first. Besides you have a keeper this time....

easy EASY fix. pull a flores and find some kid with an XJ and swap him your lift "keep the spacers" for his stock stuff. spacer it, tear out the inside. buy my one seat mount it cage the MF and wheel the piss outa it... gently
 
LOL! Aye Magi...she sold my first XJ....and my Porsches. It wasn't until after the divorce, and hooking up with DG that I got another XJ and Porsche. :D

So, yeah, I'm very glad the evil lil sprite ran off. LOL!

Ya shouldn't need stock suspension Thumper, Go to Walmart or Autozone and spend the $150 to buy a hitch and pull the Heep over here. Or find a hitch on CL. Hell, rent a UHaul truck and trailer for $75. We'll do a wrenching party at DG's house.

LOL...I'll trade my suspension for your long arm setup if that's what ya want to do. ;) Heck as I said before, I'll trade my FSJ for your XJ (even though the more we hear about it, the worse it sounds!). I'm not sure how you're planning on getting $1,300 for a non-running XJ with a trashed interior that has a case of the perma-funk and a dangerous lift, but whatever. It's your ride, not mine after all. I'd suggest that you have TOI teach you his selling secrets though. Heck, if the FSJ doesn't sell soon, I might even employ him to sell it for me. :D

I'll tell ya what Sparty, if ya don't want to drag it here to work on, start a thread, pick ONE THING to fix and post up about it. There is enough power in the brain trust around here that someone (cough....cough...Magi....Burboun....cough...cough) will prolly have a simple solution for ya.

ETA: Oh, yeah, thanks for the nice comments about DG and your support guys!!!

Thank you MM, you liked the railroad spike in Chia's upper control arm mount we did at Barnwell a couple trips ago didn't you...who has the pic of that or did we even take a pic. Burboun and myself do have some pretty interesting/simple quick ideas but do not count out the rest of the group. We have a great group here that yes we fool around and pick on each other but we still come together as need arises with no hard feeling(that I'm aware of anyways)

Sparty I have a front receiver hitch for an XJ (off of mine) that I no longer use. I'll cut you a deal

Oh, I didn't mean to count anyone out...we do have a bunch of knowledgeable peeps here! (and yes, I did like the spike...I tried to get pics, but it was a bit dark).

We're kinda like a huge, dysfunctional family here at RRC. We'll give one another grief, but always ready to help...provided that we don't have to drive too far. hehe

I'm likin the idea of a wrenching party bro. If we fix the XJ, maby you or DG can do me the favor of towing my XJ to Gilmer lol.
