Hell yeah thatd be sick , only reason I stuck with the 44/9 is cause I got them dirt cheap already built and I still wanna daily drive it ha.

Getting frame stiffeners and shackle relocations this week sometime along with my driveshaft shortened. Then gotta buy shocks come next paycheck haha. That's all that's limiting me now is these shocks haha

Gotta get a new steering box as well sometime. My stock one is not liking turning 35s as is

Post some pics of your rig! I'd say lets go wheeling but floods closed all the trails so I'm waiting until we get good snow for some Crown Point snow bashing

Hey guys! Not sure if I could be counted as Foco but I live in greeley for school and I dont see many xjs around here so I figured id come chat it up with you guys. Itd be cool to get to know some of you guys and potentially wheel with some of you when the trails are up and running again.

Need some help fellas. Couple months ago I bought the 'ol HudFab XJ. Having some tranny problems, and it will start, but won't go into any gear. Read a whole bunch by searching too. I can hear the flexplate rattling in there and it's going to get replaced. New tranny filter and fluid also. Looks like the crossmember was welded into place and dropping the tranny won't be easy. Once I unblot it and take the TC off is there enough room to just slide the transmission back to access the flexplate and torque converter? It's a 1991 tranny and a 1998 motor. I'm up here in Greeley. Thanks.

Iirc that Hudfab xmember is a three piece if he did it like all his others and the center section unbolts.

That's you! I saw you driving towards foco from the northwest on 287 a little over a month ago when my friend and I were heading up towards the poudre. I love that rig

Definitely man I barely got to go this summer too. You start building your rig and next thing you know youre rolling up on winter and youre still working lol. I like your build man how do you like being low cog? Check out my build if you have time.

With the crossover steering and Bilstein shocks it handles awesome even in the twisty canyons on aired down tires after a day of wheeling. I liked the part about the cops in your build thread, sounds like another day in Greeley with someone getting shot

That was me. We just came back from the Flats. The chutes are freaking hard when you got full width axles! Trying to plan another trip maybe later Oct. or early Nov. like a day run up sevenmile.
