What did you do to your XJ today

Rear hatch has been stuck closed since NWFest...

...Went to the Yard and grabbed a new handle assembly from a ZJ.

Turns out, I mangled that ZJ handle a bit getting it out.
And by a bit, I mean "beyond use"

My original hatch handle's inner rocker arm had broke off.
So I got "creative" and drilled a tiny hole and used the head of a screw in place of the plastic arm to actuate the hatch latch!

Yeah, what's wrong with the mud under all the cars?

When Jeeps go to heaven in Canada, its all asphalt.
Who knew they were sick and tired of idiots like us beating them into ragged old heaps of metal on the trail?

:dunno:

p.s. I had to go back to page 197 to figure out how to do that smilie ^
 
not really mine... but I am doing a little work on it...

look what pulled into my garage tonight... 2001 TJ Sahara... it is getting a 3" budget boost installed, JK rubicon shocks, t case drop and 33 x 12.50 x 15 with crawler wheels (that comes in a week or 2, already on 31 x 10.50s)

you jew.. you'll get a passport and go to canada to wheel, But you wont go to moab, the PINNACLE of offroading..

:smsoap:

if the Canadian goes to moab, ill go. i miss that guy. i dont miss anyone in moab.

and lots of ppl go to moab open open. why would i drive 2,500 miles to go to a place where open/open or locked buggy makes no difference..
 
fewer people? EJS was not a zoo.. It was comfortably busy.. I never once wished i would of come a different time.
 
installed the coil springs I got from Torx and put in the hockey puck bumpstops.

had lots of fun. there were lots of people there coming and going. even saw some one tow a stock xj in on a trailer to wheel there lol. this was kinda funny we thought. the tow rig looked to be more capable then the towed

all in all i had a good time. lots of dust and am glad to be back in my own bed. i think im going to get a 5th wheel trailer and build a camper/bed area on teh part that goes over the bed so i dont have to sleep on the ground lol.
 
I started it!
Now I have to put my exhaust on before my neighbors complain again. Last time it was my stang with straight headers in my garage.
 
Took it down to the Puyallup River to go fishing.

Then tried to blow it up on the way home. Got some scary noises coming from the engine.
