So yes, moved to AZ and wheel between 3-5 days a week. I love it out here and can't wait for Doom to arrive. I'm still attending winterfest, which is why it's still back home. The JKR has been fun to take out and it's done great, no complaints. I guess that's my update.

Tcase is correct along with some other piddley stuff.



Glad you're planning on doing something with yours. Too many people dismiss the early XJ's, but they do work. Good luck on you build!


Thank you, I am already looking into doing a 4.3l vortec, AX15 and a 231 swap into it, but also not to sure if I need to swap out my axles. probably will be doing a D30 one piece shaft swap this weekend or maybe start my Bastard packs

Yep, 3-5 days a week. I go out pretty much every time I have a day off and I sometimes run Broken Arrow after work to check out the stars at Chicken Point. It's incredible out here.

Also, Doom made Readers Rides this month. Pretty stoked.

Still in AZ, but Doom has updates. New motor is in it, rear disc brakes, etc. More to come. Pics to come.
