Thank you.

Got a free CB today, forgot what kind is is but it's very small, should fit right off the center console by the tranny wall under the dash, came with a free magnet antenna. Have to figure out how to soften the antenna mating service, it put a couple scratches on my roof when I took it off, don't care much since I'm painting it at some point but don't want it to keep happening nonetheless.

I'm digging your build and that classic look! Also, your dad's truck is rad. Looking forward to seeing your XJ progress even more!

Clean rig man, I went to IUP as well. Where you from? I'm from Carlisle. Question though, did your 31's rub the front well when you flexed with your disco's? I have a 3'' lift with 31's and don't know if they'll rub if I install disco's in my 00 XJ.

I'm from NJ but I'm pretty much moved out and living in DE when not in school at this point. I'm at 4" now but I did rub when my flares were not trimmed and I was at 3.5"s. My shocks have built in bumpstops that help a good amount of the rubbing. I still have to put in proper bump stops but that'll come when I go up a tire sizes on the same lift.

So I went to an open wheeling event hosted by ESJA, was a lot of fun and had no trail damage.

Nice trail pics! I just got back from a run myself!

I'm finding the more I go out the more I need 33s haha. Didn't get stuck but got caught up in a rut, high centered my axle and had to reverse out. But besides that it was a blast.

GreenXJ98

Same here. The only thing I got stuck on was the high middle part between some deep ruts in the mud. My diff was just plowing along until too much mud built up in front of it. I made it through all the crawling and technical stuff pretty well, I just need to get those diffs higher off the ground. 33's and fender trimming is next on my list.

I surprised them in a few spots, following people in 33-35s. Lots are on 33x1050 which is what I want so that'll be nice to have one day.

Registered just so I could sub and rate this.

Keepin' it clean. Well done.

Thank you! haha.

So...drove the jeep to school today, when I got there I smelt burn oil once I got out. My D30 pinion seal was slinging oil all over, I have some random, what looks to be a brake line, leak by the rear driver's side tire which is questionable since I have no braking issues and the line was recently replaced. I'm going to spray all the mud off tomorrow and try to really see what is going on.. :/

The leak could be the wheel cylinder part the line attaches too. Mine was leaking like crazy from there for many years. Could be just that easy.

unidentifiedbomb

That was replaced recently too with the line. But i'll look at that, thanks.

I hated my drum brakes, i.e. why I've upgraded to rear disc. so much easier to work on
