Any Jeepers in here?

[lovemachine]

I haven't wheeled mine yet, but my TJ handles so much better with the front antirock. Taking turns, driving thru curves, it handles like it's riding on rails.

I need to upgrade steering box and reinforced my frame where the box goes to. Broken bolt(one of three) is causing steering box to flex away from frame.

Oh Yea, I need to trim my fenders...

I thought you had an XJ?

XJ has frame rails but they are attached to the floor instead of separate.

I know they are unibodies. We jokingly call XJs beercans...

Best thing about them is that they are cheap to buy and more utilitarian, which is something I value. I have had a 60's Jeep, a 46 Jeep, a YJ and a TJ before and love the XJ for usefulness. Now that I have one I am not daily driving it, I can start working on it for off road since the price is right.

I always think of XJ as great cheap throwaway rigs. Use and abuse them til they fail and buy another dirt cheap to swap parts on to.

I am going to take a different approach and see how long I can keep it going just for the heck of it.

Badlands. I wants to go.

another "out of the box" post in a thread such as this.....got bored at work today, and FINALLY (after 3 years or so) finished one of my HID retrofit headlights - the other will have to wait until another slow day.

Front soft doors are now on. I'm using these for chilly mornings and rain showers. Otherwise, she'll be front doors off, most of the time. Eventually, I'll get the rears, too. I just couldn't afford them all at once. They do a bit of flapping at speed, but still there's no more noise than my old YJ. With the top halves off, though, it reminds me a lot of the YJ.

I have thought of picking up some half doors for my TJ. Just haven't wanted to spend that much money yet.

When I finally get around to replacing my ragtop, I want to pick up 2-piece soft doors as well. The cost isn't all THAT much more than a nice top, especially since I don't need the frame.

I'd go doorless, but my wife wants the doors.

 

[lovemachine]

Tell your wife it can't always be about her.

I tell that to my wife all the time....it never works, but I still say it

Got a howl in the front of my ZJ.............looks like a trip to the junkyard soon.

Is it white? My son is in need of a few doors if it is and your going to junk it.

I'm going to fetch parts, not make a delivery

 

[Sgtusmc]

Went to the Pic a Part yard off of 16th st today with my 7 yr old in tow. He wants to be a mechanic and thought he'd get a thrill out of it. No kids allowed...talk about a let down. Was gonna do some XJ scavenging.

 

[calcot7]

Sure....just don't get stuck on top.

So I'm pretty sure all of the jeepers here are loving this weather
Is climbing big snow mounds safe? Like the ones in big parking lots that the plowers push all the snow into?
