Weekend is over...what did you get done?

[Shorty]

Does that mean if I get my XJ to run at 'operating temp' then I can get 16mpg?

can't vouch for that-- I started @ 12 and dropped to 9

at some point, I'll actually regear and see where she ends up, but for now I'm still limping around town on 3.55's and 33's

 

[bigalpha]

I'm only on 31's with 3.55's. Must have something to do with the roof rack.

I GOT STUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! :banghead: :smsoap:

 

[Shorty]

...and the 30mph commute, stoplights every 50 yards, 0 compression engine (slight exaggeration), ZJ fan clutch, and the big wind foil commonly known as a rear hatch that offers up butt-tons more drag with 4 half doors....

glad I've got the 2dr, 4cyl for DD duties now

 

[bigalpha]

haha.

I get to do about 55 half the way to work.

I GOT STUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! :banghead: :smsoap:

I can come pull you uot for gas $$$, but you'd probably get off cheaper buying another XJ to pull yourself out with.....

haha.

I get to do about 55 half the way to work.

Must be nice...I get to do 70mph for about 1 minute...then test the 70-0 response time of the Jeep...then back up to 70 for another minute, back to 0, up to 30 for a couple minutes more...then a quick throttle mash to get around the idiot riding the brakes with a mile long gap infront of him which brings me from 30, to 60, then back to 40ish.

After about 5 miles of this I get to my exit and it's a smooth 50 for about 2 miles.

 

[bigalpha]

That's gotta be horrible on the mpgs.

 

[ChuckstrPT]

and btw you suck:looser:

agreed. He sucks, and anyone else that isn't allergic to poison ivy...:viking:

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

Yup...but i've been lucky lately in that i've been working mainly weekends only, and having to open, which means I'm on the road at 7am on Saturday or 8:30am on Sunday....so little traffic means I can cruise on the highway for the majority of the trip.

However if I get this job I interviewed for this morning, i'll have about a 45 mile round trip commute all highway...with stop and go in some of the worst traffic Charlotte has to offer.

haha yea ill be all right its not really stuck that bad my dad just had the keys to the garage so i couldnt get any of my recovery stuff luckily its on my land

 

[XJfreakHO]

Where you stuck at? Buddy of mine lives off Strawberry and has a TJ on 33's with a winch, could get you out pretty easy if your nearby Im sure.

My jeep is still taken apart in kvegas or I would help out more.

 

[01greenxjsport]

damn hes off strawberry thats literally like 10 feet from my property which is where i was stuck at but we got it out thank god

 

[XJfreakHO]

Lol alright cool. Yeah He recently bought a house and moved that way, I have yet to be over there, he got married a few months ago so I only ever see him when we are at a mutual friends shop. Black TJ on boggers.

 

[01greenxjsport]

yea i think ive seen him around town some

 

[XJfreakHO]

Probably, I posted my XJ for sale on craigslist today, done alot of thinking and talking lately with some guys on here and NC4x4, figure I will sell my jeep and start fresh, go straight for tons. Buy a beater xj that needs work, buy tons, accumulate parts. Either that or trade for a DD car or something else that interests me. Even if I trade it I will probably just use it for a while than trade or sell it.

 

[01greenxjsport]

my buddy has a 84 with a 4 banger hes selling for 800 if you want it lol

 

[XJfreakHO]

Nah, won't own a 4 banger XJ, my buddys got a 94 with 4.0 and only 140k miles, body damage galore he sold for 400 to another buddy, I can get it for 400 if I decide I want it. I will probably wait, I am looking at a 95 model right now with 120k miles for 1000.

 

[01greenxjsport]

thats not bad yea and i actually think that hes about to sell it too haha
we were gonna make a cheromanche out of it haha but his dad wants him to sell it,
and the funny thing is theres not a good thing about tht jeep its got the d35 a 4 banger and rough body
