your XJ in the Reno Offroad EXPO?

[EricsXJ]

I am planning on having a booth at the Reno Offroad EXPO again this year. I will likely have an open spot for an XJ to be on display with mine. If you have a good looking XJ and would like to have it on display let me know. It doesn't have to be the most modified rig in the world. Even a mildly built one would work as long as it is clean and shows pride in ownership.

Dates are March 18, 19, and 20th but it needs to be put in the booth on Wednesday March 16th.

As would yours... but you are still across country right?

 

[831_xj]

Yeah, until June

Docmoe has a shiny one too!

or maybe if Rob707 has his done in time?

 

[EricsXJ]

Yes we have a lot of nice rigs in our chapter.

I'd also include Lou's, although I haven't seen his new cage yet.

I guess if you needed an example of how not to build and drive an xj mine could be there.

You've been driving it hard the past few years that's for sure. It would have been the perfect XJ when I first met you at Moon Rocks. It was mint condition back then!

It's too bad little Waggy leaks a little.

Define "a little".

I wish, but still have a couple more months probably before it's ready to go.If there is a open spot next year, I'd definitely be interested.

If Dr. Smash is finished building mine by then, I'd be happy to bring it out. It's not super pretty, but it is very well built and clean. I'm also local so that helps.

I think he showed me pics of it but that was a year or two ago. How long has he been working on it?

I don't know, some. Actually it has come home to the same spot each night since I did the valve cover gasket so it is hard to tell what is fresh.

It is supposed to get a lift soon but right now it is mostly a survivor.

A little leaking is fine. How is the interior?

Almost 2 years. There is a build thread on Reno 4x4, project stabbing in the dark. He just got the stroker in, basically just need to fire it up now and it's done.

Just looked through the build thread. Looks like a great build. If the jeep is available I'd love to have it in the booth.

Smash says he wants to start it up for the first time next week, so I'd say we are on schedule to be done in time. Golen already did the initial break in on the dyno, so things should go pretty well.

So, can you catch us up on build specs of your rig? Its been a long time since I talked to you, kinda forgot what it had.
