7 years since I graduated. We did a couple things for the senior prank, we had the typical skip day, kinda funny cause no one knew an exact date so half skipped one day the other half skipped the next day. The 2nd thing we did was our principal was retiring the same year we graduated so for graduation we all silly stringed him on stage after we walked! And the third thing most of the guys did was walk across stage in only our robes. Nothing under them!

i thought thats what everyone did..lol. one kid did that and cartwheeled off the stage so everyone saw everything lol. that and the cameraman filming it from the side fell off his 6ft tall stand haha. the camera fell over too and smashed into pieces. plus one of the drop outs from my class tried streaking but the cops took him down as soon as he jumped the fence..lol

So what's everyone up too? I got the new to me 98 in the garage. I got some 34 in swampers from a buddy of mine that upgraded to 35s on his TJ. They seem to fit ok but I'm going to do some trimming anyway. I started replacing the muffler yesterday but ran outa welding wire. (I weld my exhaust. No clamps!!) Also finally got the 87 Comanche Chief to my new house so I can start working on that. The 89 MJ should be getting a new (well 92 XJ 4.0/AW4/242) drivetrain soon. Projects projects projects!! O and the 91 MJ needs a new master and exhaust too! I have it for sale but no bites at all so I think I'm just going to keep it...

Its amazing what a set of tires can do for a rig. Went from 31 in STS to 34 pretty wore out swampers and the difference is night and day. Im liking how the short arm wheels for now and the fact I can fit 34s without much fender cutting. haha just thinking out loud.

outkast, pic is working for me, snap that 35 yet?
as for more randoms, helping a buddy swap a built 350 in his V6 camaro and he lives on a farm, bunch of tools we needed were in a shed close to a mile on the other side of his farm. he got his 4x4 silverado stuck half way out so we took the zj and it walked out no problem, even did a circle around his truck to show him up haha. couldnt get him out tho seeing as i have no tow points yet haha.
almost rolled it too, didnt know i was going past a drop in some weeds, back end started sliding so i hit the gas and turned out i drove past a 6ft drop and the ground was giving way..that would have sucked.
random pics from today
testing flex haha need to bumpstop
and i didnt get any action pics so i took an action pic of me washing it hahha

Amazingly haven't broke that little bastard yet, starting to think the fact that they are non c-clip makes them a bit stronger. I really thought for sure how hard I was beating on it Memorial weekend that something would have snapped but nope only one new clunk from the 20th track bar bushing.
Those ZJ's are super easy for front tow point since you can actually bolt a hook directly to the front frame rail where there is a nut strip and backing plate.

that makes me feel better about my d35 then haha. and thanks brotha jeep **** is always nice haha. im thinking about going with the KOR rad support shackle mount tho so i can keep the front bumper stock looking without using the weak stock points. seen to many of them bend haha.
gf has gotten me excited to get the other jeep going though. this weekend we are going to duluth and not sure how much time i will have but im gonna start tearing the old one down.
and austin, im gonna try to figure out how i can load the jeep onto a trailer so you can get the old shell with the 4.0 and tranny. almost thinking of swapping the axles off the other jeep to the 2 door so we can just push it but going to be hard since the LCA mounts are plasma'd off haha
