Well shoot, guess who's back

[DutchVDub]

Worked out a deal for another XJ last night, ugh and here I thought I'd learned.

Picking up an 87 Pioneer. Nothing fancy at all but the price is definitely right. Simple enough plan for it; 4.5" Long arms, HP D30, 8.8 Rear, and some 35's. Basically building my last XJ all over again.

:anon: My name is Dutch and I'm addicted to XJ's.

You still doing gears? Someone was looking to get some done.

Where are you located these days?

 

[time2getdirty]

You idiot.

I can still do gears, although I'm a bit less inclined to go out my way to do so. Basically, bring me the parts and stripped down axles or don't bother me.

You idiot.

I KNOW!!! :confused1 :banghead: :banghead:

It's about dang time, get that thing built so we can go wheelin. :rof:

Was me looking for recomendations for an installer for...custom...geat set up , As I am not needing work now but will in the not too far off future .By custon I do not mean a gear swap such as lower gears but rather an installer to do a Jantz Jana 76 install ...this is sonething I want to do most likely fall 2017 after the wheeling season and I upgrade under the hood thus the desire for a bigger ring and pinion in my hp60 .

Hmm, sounds interesting. I could probably sort that out, but I've never done it before. I hadn't even heard of it until you posted it. Seems cool, but I would be concerned about relying on proprietary bearings and adapters.

:laugh:....... welcome back

 

[Fred]

x2!

 

[UnlimitedMatt]

DUTCH! Good to hear you are still kicking.

Get it built so we can do a night run on Spring Creek.

From what I read tge Jantz stuff is top notch. Hantz states it is pretty straight forward install , but not the best install for a first time installer , but as you know there are many folks who do this work who make 1st time installers look like a pro .

Pics or it didn't happen...

Awwwww geez! Next you'll tell me you took french lessons for working on that RENIX heep!

Welcome home! :::cheers:::

 

[DutchVDub]

Oui, je parle français. pourquoi, ne pas vous?

No pictures right now. We can't get it out of his back yard until I get some axles under it. It's in full on hover mode right now. Like I said, the price was right.

 

[xj-grin]

You idiot.

Welcome back, man. Stop by for a PBR! :cheers:

 

[DutchVDub]

I keep meaning to hit you up every time I ride through the Springs. It'll happen, one day it'll happen.

 

[dirteexj94]

Welcome back Dutch

 

[redneck23ms]

Welcome back. Are you getting the Xj from aaron?

 

[DutchVDub]

I don't know who Aaron is, I'm getting the jeep from my buddy Steve who is getting out of XJ's in favor of a sweet Early Bronco he is paying not nearly enough money for.

 

[redneck23ms]

Ah. I know Steve. I know a guy named aaron that's selling a similar xj with no axles.i don't think it's nearly as nice as set as is though
