Us folks in the Rockford area should plan something once it gets nice... whether its grab a beer or go work on someone's rig or whatever.


I have to say. It is nice to once again not have to decide between going wheeling or paying my mortgage in a given month.

I'm taking all of next week of work, using my vacation time, to do what work I can to my xj.
to do list:
new coils, new front shocks, shackle relocators, cut off my rear axle shock mounts and have my high clearance rear shock mounts welded on and try to get close to having my spare tcase rebuilt and my sye installed on it. and of course "align" my front end after the new parts

You are comparing a single city in a state that is 1000 times better than illinois.

Gilbert isnt a dump. Ive been to arizona numerous times.

Tuscon is a dump. But its still in arizona, which is better than illinois.

Haha...
