Met some dude at the 'yard a couple weeks ago pulling spare steering out from under one I was getting cruise switches from. Asked if he'd heard of and apparently we're a bunch of cliquish pricks. Then on the way out saw his 'rig' in the lot- it made McCantard's last project look like a show queen. :doh:

Not yet. Got a guy comin to look at it in a few days and a few people emailing me about it.
Dutch you really don't want my friend's YJ... I mean I can give him your number, but you'd be trading WAY down. It's not exactly uh... offroad capable. I've seen it flexing and well, it doesn't. I've seen a bone stock XJ flex better, this thing wouldn't do well on the rocks. I'd be using it as a DD, probably wouldn't be doing much offroading in it. But if you want to talk to him lemme know and I can set you guys up.

I want a Wrangler :gee:
CJ5-7-8, or a YJ.
It'll be my DD and I'll be able to do some trails.
The XJ I'm building is purely a trail rig, and will take a while to build. I'll be surprised if it'll be half done by the time I ship... it'll have completely sleeved and tube-reinforced framerails, a HP60 front and 70 rear, stretched wheelbase, either a 350 or a 460, blah blah blah. I don't plan on finishing it anytime soon, and I don't plan on doing anything to it unless I have exactly what I want for it.

To be honest the yj would be a better trail rig and the xj would make the better daily

I know. But I'm familiar with XJs and they're much cheaper to modify than Wranglers of any flavor.

Think so huh?
Wranglers are on a Frame already. And don't they have stronger axles?

Really? Dude that's awesome! I had no idea they had frames.
What do the axles matter? I can't think of a single dedicated trail rig that has stock axles under it.

The difference is, you can build tube fenders for the front and cut out rear on a yj and fit 35's on the stock springs. Stock springs wil flex fairly well too

Mason did you ever get your p/u to start consistently ???

True, but I would need some serious bumpstops and have to rely solely on the droop on the opposite side to get that flex. I'm looking for a Jeep that's already lifted so I don't have to worry about it.
Yeah it turned out to be a loose wire on the injector pump.
