sweet. i was thinking about using iron rock for work. good to know more about them and that they are good.

Use Iron Rock no doubt about it!! Please dont go to burnsville offroad. That where the PO had some work done to my jeep. and I have been there a few times with my dads yj. They arent nice at all, dont give you the time of day at all to talk or ask questions. They are very rude. and also over priced. they think they are the best place on earth because they did the hemi swap, big deal. they are all stuck up. also with that, they dont know what they are doing, besides a couple of them. most dont know. it took them 3 different times to fix the door lock/window crank linkage stuff on his yj door. and it still doesnt work till this day.
I had iron rock do some work last week because i was fed up with trying myself and getting way to pissed off. me and xjrev10 did my front spacers and kept running into problem after problem, took us 5 hours and some beers. we still had the disco's and shackles to do. couldnt do shackles or disco's because things weren't going our way. brought it to IROR last wednesday, took them 3.5 hours to do my front sway bar disco's, Rear lift shackles, take out rear sway bar, adjust steering linkage, and install all new cat back exhaust. all at 75 bucks and hour. I calculated what i thought it should be and guessed about 550. got there to pay and it was 450. that includes the 175 for new exhaust. ( I had the other parts so it was only labor charges)

They have many used parts and are very fair priced and fast. They also talk to you a lot and give you all the time you need. You can ask them anything and they are very knowledgable about everything. They actually care unlike Burnsville off road.

Had to vent a little bit haha sorry guys, but you get the point. IROR!!

yeah iron rock offroad all the way, thanks for supporting them, they are a great group and i have talked to some of the BOR guys and they all wouldnt take me seriously because i dont have a wrangler..

xjrev10

amen to that.. they must be the guys that call xj's "buses" and are jealous that xjs can do most that a similarly built tj can do and xjs do it better

aircruiser

they call them station wagons haha

xjrev10

well that just makes xjs sound bad. i think i like bus better. someday i am going to build a yellow xj with a stop sign and lights and everything. it sound be a hit. and to really chap their *** ill put a rubicon sticker on it.

rustylaredo

ha ha lmao do it man. thanks for all the advice on shops. good to hear IROR is as good as thier products look. I do all my own work but its good to know a shop to recommend.

As some of you may know im involved with the Northern MN Jeepers offroad club. We have been working on getting a trail to call our own for a while. Well to make a long story short we found an area and had to work with landowners, DNR, ppl and the state to get funding, wetland stuff etc. Everything takes soooooo long when you are dealing with the state but we finally got all of our funding and now the Northern MN Jeepers are the only offroad club with a Grant in Aid trail!! The trail is not cut yet but we can start anytime with the weather would shape up a little bit. Very thick back there in the bush. My guess is that it should be done by the middle of next summer. No idea when it will be open to the public. Trail connects Eveleth to Gilbert.

aircruiser

ugh why does it have to be so far away??

bhulty20

Hey thats sweet Austin!!! way to go man! Let me know if you want an extra hand!

xjrev10

sounds like something might be happening down your way sometime in the future. gotta find a good offroad club down there and see what you can do. MNJ worked on getting this trail for over 10 years.

aircruiser

yeah lie bhulty has mentioned there is a spot but nobody knows where the owner is and if its legal and its loaded with crap idiots dump there.

anywho on a lighter note, has it snowed up your way yet??



bwahahaha

bhulty20

wow haha nice!!! We have had a few days of snow. nothing on the ground yet though.
and this spot aircruiser is talking about gets pretty boring after going about five times. pretty small spot but good for a quick outting close by home. no one ever seems to care about us and we always run into people back there. I'd say its pretty safe.

Hey Austin what are you talkin about down our way? You know something we dont know?

aircruiser

yeah man i dunno, ive been back there twice. last time i went was in spring and there was some pretty good mud. but yeah it was kind of lame nothing to really challenge just try to make through the mud. im more into crawling and trail riding, with some mud ofcourse.

bhulty20

Agreed, place gets old fast!
