Just broke the lower shock mount on the rear of the jeep. Planning to grind it down, drill it out and throw a new bolt through. Can any one help me weld the new bolt in?

Nope, we just met up, talked XJs a bit, then split. There's an offroad park in Marble Falls....

Just put the new Radiator in (3 core all steel from Radiator Barn) and my boy is running like a champ. In the last month and a half he has gotten a new TPS, MAP and IAC, complete throttle body cleaning, all new gaskets from head down, new head (picknpull) fully cleaned, cleaned exhuast headers, and a brand spanking new top of the line HD radiator. I'm ready for some fun, so lets get something together.


Also, if anyone wants it, I'd sell the old head for 100 bucks. Thats a little more than you can get it from a pick n pull but I saved you the effort of pulling it out . The number 1 cylinder's valve is burned out, but a machine shop can probably re-machine it to running shape. Let me know if you're interested.

Putting some Wheels and Tires up for sale on Craigslist, thought I'd throw them on here in case someone can use them. Pick up only...
BFGoodrich AT's 31's on 15" stock cherokee wheels. Tons of tread...

$325.00 .... The 60" Highlift Jack is for sale also, $75.00 or $375 for all.

Was gonna use them just for off roading, but the boy rolled the jeep, so I have no use for these.. Located in Round Rock, off 1431 close to I-35..

Lift is done and it's barley drive able, AHHHH! The driveshaft binds up when not accelerating and sounds like its going to snap. I'm running with a t case drop at the moment and can't really afford a sye yet. Any suggestion as to what the problem might be and how to fix it? Shims maybe? I don't really know what to do here.

Randman those tires look great, and I've been wanting a jack like that for a while. I'd definitely be in for that, if the timing was better. I just dumped about 500 into my jeep to get it back up and running so the next 500 or so is going to the Audi (he is jealous of all the attention the Jeep gets).

If you still have them in a few weeks though, I will definitely take the whole set off your hands, I love the tread on those BFGs, a lot more aggressive than my Coopers.
