How long of a brake line are you running in the front? Where did you get them from?

Well I finally got my XJ back from the Tranny shop after a week and $1489.08. They apologized for keeping it so long and gave me a aditional yr. warrenty. So now I have a 3 yr. unlimited mile warrenty. I was a little unhappy with out my jeep for a week. It is nice to have it back. It runs alot better and smoother. Had a low stall tourqe converter install also. anyway. just giving my updates. take it easy out there

What a perfect morning!!!! Got up to it raining in Az. Perfect weather for some trails. Couldnt pass it up. Forgot the camera so used my phone. Anyway heres a few trails shots this morning.




My buddy in his Ruby......


A bit of a tight spot. The rain made the rocks a little slick so got a little worried but came out of it ok.

Well got up this morning and noticed a leak! I guess I hit a rock pretty hard saturday wheeling. Bent the front diff. cover. So I ordered a riddler cover from Rockmen. $109.95 with free shipping. But hey you play , you pay. I will try to take some picts of the install when I get it and let you all know how it came out. Take it easy for now.

This is one of my more favorite xj's. i like the simplicity of it and it appears to be very capable.
