Well, I bought an xj about a week ago. 92 briarwood edition on 30x9.50's. Took it through potato ridge Monday night. It does pretty good.

I broke down and ordered a new computer for my Cherokee. I am Not sure what else could be causing the problem so let's keep our fingers crossed.

Hopefully that gets it, good luck! My folks had an 87 that the computer went out on but I don't remember how it acted.




Where does everyone get their steel? I am down around silverado ranch area and there ain't crap around.

I picked up some 1x1 tube for building a welding cart and a 1/4" plate for a welding table top from Curtis steel. Gotta go back and get some more square tube for the table frame and some thin plate for shelves on the cart.

Talk to some of the machine shops in town. Gilbert's Precision. Precision Crane. Precise Machine Tooling. Henderson Electric. Zocalos. T I G Works.
More than likely they will have a scrap pile to pick through.

It will get a chain I haven't gotten that far yet, this was just a mock-up. I am going with some expanded steel for the platforms and need to pick up some casters somewhere.(maybe HF, maybe not)

I almost pulled the trigger on the 180 but having 110v could be useful if I bring it into work. I think you will be happy with it!

That's the biggest reason I wanted the 211. Can't complain I got the 180 with tank and all for only 600 bucks used
