Little Rock

 

Nice... Is that at the 4x4 place in North Little Rock/Sherwood?

 

Yeah. They are good guys over there. I recommend using them for whatever you need done. They definitely have treated me right. She's been there for awhile. Can't wait to get her back. I'll be looking to go wheeling as soon as I do.

 

Cool... Mud Connection in southwest did my lift and tires and I bought my front bumper from them too. I would also recommend them highly, very professional and reasonable pricing. I did talk to the guys in NLR and they seemed like a good bunch as well.

 

Yeah Mud Connection does good work too. I had a centerforce clutch installed by them on the XJ. 4x4 off-road outfitters is a little cheaper on the prices. Mainly on labor. New store trying to get business and get established in the market. Plus they do spray in bed liner which I wanted on a lot of things.

 

Good to know we've got a couple options for things. Mud Connection was a hair cheaper on the lift plus closer to my house out in Saline. I really need to get up to NLR and give those guys some of my money though, competition is good for everybody. I am hoping they keep it going, their lot has been pretty empty most times I have driven by on the interstate and Mud Connection is usually packed.

 

They do appear to be slow but actually stay pretty busy. They only have 4 bays which stay filled daily. They are pretty smart with their scheduling on getting customers in and out by only bringing in your vehicle once they have the part and can do the job instead of having to keep your vehicle for extended amounts of time. Probably because they don't really have a gate or many bays or space to stack up vehicles to work on. They also do a lot of work with the dealers al around them. They couldn't have picked a better location. Super personable guys if you talk with them. Not straight business. Brad the owner is a honest stand up jeep guy and was just the pres for the AR crawlers. Def don't have anything bad to say about them and would recommend them to anyone. After I get my xj back I'm def taking back my JK. Even having one of his guys do my hemi swap in my JK.

 

Cool... Wasn't thinking about the gate thing. And yes they were real good to shoot the breeze with and talk all things 4x4. I will definitely consider them as the XJ grows.

 

xjbob, are you in Springdale? Over by Southwest Jr. High by chance??

 

Nevermind. I see Shiloh Stadium in the background. I've seen your rig parked over there before.

 

Im from Blytheville,Ar. This is my first XJ.


More pics this weekend.

 

Nice... What size lift? Year?

 

Thanks man, not sure of the lift. My guess is 3 inch springs front and rear and 3 inch spacers. It's an 87, 4.0, welded Dana 44 rear and Dana 30 front with an Aussie locker.

 

the guy I got it from had no idea the front had a locker, we was talking about scrapping it bc of a grinding noise which turned out to be a bad carrier bearing.
