The pics working for you on that one? They're not coming up on my phone.

I'm just curious where exactly people are cutting. I already hacked out a good chunk of the area to fit an impact gun on the shackle bolt.

 

Yeah fine on PC, iFail app, and Safari. Basically hack off the front and rear of the area below where the fender flares out like the door panels, fold the inside up and outside up and fasten it together. The new fold becomes level with the floor of the cargo area.

Some random interwebs pics. If these don't work either try turning your phone off and tossing it under a bus:

 

... or what? Lol


Those pics are perfect. Just what I needed to know. Hope I got enough metal left to fold the hacked up side together right.

I'm gonna weld it all up to hell with drilling rivets or screwing screws.

 

Cut and fold of the rears is easy as opening a beer. Once i grow a pair, or rather get off my lazy ***, i wanna do mines. Some hacking then hammering and yes either weld or rivet. Dukie has a great write up

 

You have a 97+ living in NY, right? Just take off the bumper caps and look underneath. Your motivation will chip, flake, and fall off right in front of you lol

 

I used to hate the look of rear quarters cut and folded. Looks so much better though.

 

 

:sigh: **** you both im gonna look tomorrow morning and see what you yammering bout.

Oh and end caps have been off for over a year. Cleaned and bed lined. Eat it lol

 

So... Let's say a friend was changing his valve cover on Saturday, he was using an 11mm socket and 1/4" wobble extension to get the rear bolt started back in and some freak wind and tectonic plate shifting made him drop them socket and extension down the CPS hole in the bell housing...

It's not up in front of the flywheel, it's back behind and resting somewhere with the torque converter, so the inspection plate isn't exactly an option.

How the hell can he get it out without dropping the tranny?

 

I feel bad for that "friend". tell him get a 12 pack and have fun. I hope that maybe a pan can be dropped

 

My XJ from Ohio was bad. I'm sure yours is, too.

Drop the trans.

 

It is. Always trying to hose it good during summer. Even through frame rails.

Is the 97+ body as easy to ut and fold?

 

There has to be another way lol.


I need a flexible magnetic stick or a optical camera and a set of plumbing grabbers would work...

 

It's not any different to do.

 

Oh really? Well then...

Turn the XJ upside down. People post pictures of it all the time. Tool should fall right out!
