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

[Lowrange2]

I feel your pain. Ours is 875 sqft with me, the wife, 3 kids, 2 dogs and a cat. The house we are trying to buy is 1800 sqft on 3 acres with a 4 car garage.

First thing I am going to do is put a chest freezer and beer fridge in the garage.

Nice, I was originally planning to have a nice shop built but I'm not going to be able to afford it yet. Kinda has me down.

I'll get the house paid for and then build a shop.

We'll be on 2 acres that belongs to me but my 2 acres is in the center of my families 200 acres. Best of both worlds. Lots of land and no property tax. lol

No I only have 12" travel shocks.... :clap: I want coilovers then I'll be blasting through URE at SxS speeds... Did you guys see that Tellico Announcement? New place to wheel and it borders Tellico! Also, Scott has about 150 acres 3 miles from the Eldorado Outpost he is working on. :clap:

I did hear about that, I wanna go to it! I hate it closed down before I got the chance, and will Scott be opening that 150 acres up to the public?

We're in a 800 sqft house. Me, my wife and 3 girls...

We'll be in a 2,200 sq ft house by February.

There's two things that I'm going to have as soon as we have the new house.

1) A recliner

2) A Koi pond in the center of the living room floor.

IDK how you do that LOL!

There are 4 of us in a 3,000sqft house, 5bdrm/4bath and its not enough room. Me and two boys and the wife.

It's no fun. I can tell ya that.

You've seen my house. It's itty bitty!

The huge yard is the only thing that keeps me sane.

Trust me, I'm READY to get into the new place.

No it is for his classes primarily. He did say he would have open rides and run it like the Flats and Farm I think the other place was called.

Totalled my red DD Jeep and my camper last weekend. It didnt do much damage to either, but the red Jeep isnt worth much, so they are totalling it, and they dont make parts for the camper anymore, so it cant be repaired. Hate to see the Jeep go like that, but I was going to get rid of it soon anyway. Ill be taking all of the goodies off of it, if anyone is interested in bumpers, LED trucklite headlights etc...

Here is the carnage. Not terrible, but enough to total it. Pushed the driver side axle back about 2 inches as it bent the lower link bracket on the axle. Im still driving it, but its got a few issues...












My bumper pretty much destroyed the Hyundai Sonata that swerved into my lane. This doesnt show the entire passenger side that got crunched. Didnt even dent my bumper.





Going to pick up my new to me tow rig/DD on Monday. Its the cleanest 7.3L diesel I could find in this area, and its already got all the goodies I wanted to put on one anyway (Exhaust, intake and programmer, etc). Need it to pull my buggyfied Teal B*tch, and whatever camper we eventually get to replace the popup.

 

[shortxjdoug]

that is a beautiful 7.3....bravo sir. the only diesels ill ever buy have already been built


pulling all the good parts off red jeep before the total?

 

[stumpXJ]

Yes sir, that is the plan.

 

[shortxjdoug]

Yes sir, that is the plan.

im interested in a lot of the stuff....its just a matter of generating extra cash

 

[stumpXJ]

I hear ya, ill be posting it all soon.

Essentially the list is:

Rear bumper with spare tire swingout, integrated reciever hitch, 14 bolts for attachment, etc.

Front winch bumper with short hoop, built off of Tylers bumper plate.

T-max 6500 competition series winch with factory wireless remote, and brandnew Viking synthtic line. Zero pulls on the winch or line.

Like new LED Truck-lite headlights. Zero damage from the wreck. AWESOME headlights.

Full set of Rugged ridge floor mat liners. These are the ones that'll hold an entire drink if you spill it on them. Fronts, rears, and rear cargo liner, all specific to XJ in black color.

Thule 5 foot load bars with gutter attachments

Aussie locker for front Dana 30

Its also got a like new SYE on a 231...doubt ill pull it off, but if someone wanted it...

 

[stumpXJ]

Its also got a Rugged Ridge adjustable trackbar and braket, RR fixed lower arms, slightly longer for 3-4" lift etc....

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

I'd love to have a 7.3, but they're hard to find for a good price in good condition. Sweet trucks!

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

And I may be interested in the rear bumper, depending on how cash looks. Ordered my steering today and hope to be picking up some new suspension from KP in a couple weeks.

 

[stumpXJ]

Say the word Tim, it can be yours...

 

[FlexdXJ]

Nice Ferd!

 

[KPTHEMP]

PM sent

Picked up a better pair of front axle shafts then helped a buddy put a budget boost on his '99 XJ yesterday. I replaced the battery tray in mine this morning, then laid out the cut lines for hood vents that I found in the junkyard last weekend.

 

[PacificEd]

Put me second in line for the rear bumper. Might be interested based on price.

 

[stumpXJ]

I hear ya Ed.

Sorry...didn't mean to turn this into a for sale thread. I've replied to a bunch of PMs and will post a FS ad soon.

Went to URE again this weekend, not too much carnage for me, just a punctured tire from the back of Daniel, scraped my driveshaft to hell, and got a nice little scrape on my left rear door, fun weekend!!! Also saw a guy in a JK try to drift outta the campsite straight into the bank on Falls Dam, and now the main shaft outta his steering box on that thing is sheared off. Still don't know how that was the thing to break. Anyway, my buddy got a sweet shot of me in a shallow mud hole on the back of Daniel (after the tire incident)
