Was super stoked to find my new 703 injectors on the porch Friday. Had plans to get them put in this weekend. But my plans went to **** when I opened the package to find 6 beautiful 784 injectors! FML! I even asked twice in the pm's when buying them to confirm that they were 703's. Still waiting on the seller to reply so I can give him a chance to make it right. Otherwise I'm just going to sell them at cost and keep looking for some 703's

Just talked to the seller and he has agreed to give me a nice discount and ship my 703's as soon as I get the 784's back to him. I feel like I'm putting a lot of trust in a complete stranger but I think he is one of the XJ brothren and will do right by me.

Got a visit from the brown truck Santa!




That is mine DBO diy Mojave front bumper kit. This thing is pure beef! DBO is a great company, and Max is super awesome! It took a good bit longer than anticipated for me to get my kit due to their relocation, so Max threw in a hoop kit for free. Highly recommend DBO and will definitely be doing more business with them soon

Sweet! That's a great freebie you got with your bumper. Have fun getting it all welded up. Looking forward to pics!

Bummer about injectors. Any word on that?

Will definitely get some pics of the bumper build. I'm gonna bend and tack it at work so I can take advantage of our large welding table. After it's all mocked up gonna bring it home and do all of the finish welding.

Just got the confirmation number on my 703's. Seller seems to be a stand up guy. Once I get them and they're in good shape I'll be sure to give him props for excellent service.

That's great the seller came thru. Also pretty cool that you've got the work space to get the bumper ready. And I thought I was lucky cause my roomie works at a machine/tooling shop and is gonna hook me up with some bump stops..

Having a full machine and fab shop at my disposal definitely has it's perks. If you ever need something made (within reason) just holler. Long as you pay for shipping and materials I can hook you up with some beer priced labor rates.

Finally got my 703's today. Just finished putting them in. Best bang for the buck IMO. The idle is way smoother, chrisper throttle response, and per the ole *** dyno added a horse or two. This is definitely a must do.

New to old comparison.

Just finished rebuilding my new lights for my bumper. Traded a 3/8" drive craftsman ratchet for them. They used to be rusted chrome. Bead blasted them ,painted them satin black, replaced the 55w bulbs with 100w and re wired them. Now to get the bumper done.
