Reminds me of when I was younger. There was a guy I knew that thought he was badass. He had a huge 4-wheeler. I couldn't stand they guy. He bet me that he would win a tug between his 4 wheeler and my 4wd Ford Ranger...

Yeah right.

We hooked up. He gunned. I bumped the gas once and he almost fell over the handle bars.

Front shocks?
Steering stabilizer with Hydro assist?
Track bar with leaf springs?


Money has nothing to do with research. I have many homebrew and junkyard parts on my jeep and it works great and is SAFE and it is because I did research and followed advise from others and did it rite the first time.

Can't even put xjmans rig in the same category as EL NINO's & Nikos XJ. They took their time to make sure it's a slinky offroad, and they didn't cut corners. That rig took ages and alot of trial and error to make it trail ready and a suitable DD. Theres is anything but a "mud-truck".

Lol same thing happened when me and my friends moved to lafayette from summerville. Some of our "new friends" just happened to be all the girls that hung out with them, And now they were only hanging out with us. Got a call saying "get that truck of yours and we'll hook em up and see who's weak!"
SO instead of my jeep or my buds f150, We brought his brothers 91 cummins dually Lets just say with the brake didnt even have to hit the gas for him to start spinning, stuck it in granny gear and creeped his *** bout 30 feet lmao

o im the retard. and no i didnt call it "cummings" i clearly wrote CUMMINS. i thought you were referring to the 4.0 specifically. and my bad if i didnt completely understand what motor you were exactly mentioning in that unclear statement. and yes i do know that CUMMINS are 6 cylinders. and im sorry that your a judgmental *******.
