New Mexico Roll Call.
With a few pics of roof racks recently I was curious how many have put a roof top tent on their XJ? Online prices seem to be around $1500 - $2500. Would think that one could do the roof rack for $200 in materials, $300-500 for the canopy and call it done. Might also consider military or HF trailer beefed up carrying supplies and the tent.

What should I do peoples? Well remember that 92 5speed I had well, the my cuz kinda screwed me over cause his uncle owns the jeep still. So I went to talk to him about it and told him that I need the title or come get the jeep will long story short, he offer to sell it for 100 bucks it not a horrable shape just needs some work. I know can get my money back in parts easy, but do I need another jeep sitting in my yard waiting to part out or should I just let it go?

Hey new Mexico, found a 99 steel blue xj at a no name dealership here in town. I didn't go check it out, but this is what I saw from the road, 99 steel blue xj, 4x4, looks like it might be a limited, and the owner is asking 2450 cash for it. I'd jump all over it for parts for mine, but I don't have the cash right now. Figured I'd let you all know as stock 99 are hard to come by, and the possibility of it being the limited. If I can work some major overtime, I may try to pick it up within the next few weeks.

Or, Fix it up then sell it.
Or, Forget about it.

You can part it out on CL if you want to take some space in the yard. When your done just call the scrap guys to pick it up.

Haha...seriously! My stock JK is probably a better "pebble crawler" then that thing! That guy is seriously delusional if he thinks he's going to get more than 5k for that thing.
I need some new tires, possibly rims too-- Looking for some 33's or 35's.
Looking to do some trading for them, if you have some that are willing to do some trading/negotiating for let me know.. 702.821.6655

So I decided that I'm goin to keep that other jeep now, should I just replace the motor or just part it out? I have a spare motor out of a 89 the bottom end is good I know I have to swap the head or even get a reman head, depends on overall condition of the other one. I still need a front header panel and little odds and ends. Either way I'm getting a better end of the deal parts or keep and beat or even swap everything into the 98 and just keep that. Its just my time and some money not much.
