I may be able to make it, we shall see. I've been in Tampa hanging with my buddy who's rocking a 7 inch LA lift on 35's for his ZJ. We've slept 6 hours in the past 2 days so we can do as much work on the Jeep's as possible. I'll try to get some pics up today or tomorrow. I did take her in the sand, and Holy Cow the upgraded steering made a world of difference. I still need an alignment but I did a homebrew version for now.

As far as my 2.5 hour trip down here, I stayed at 1846 RPMs going 70. She's loud as Hell but I love it. I've added some things here and there. Some LEDs for better lighting in certain areas. Oh and I installed ZJ seats, now the comfort level of my XJ has skyrocketed.

 

NICE! I want to find some ZJ seats for mine.

 

I got a set you can have. There is of course the part where I'm in El Paso.

 

So my driver front caliper seized... Gotta fix that tomorrow. I had a great time in Tampa. Me and my buddy Austin got a lot done. I'll get you guys some more pictures of the interior but for now this is how she looks flexing.

 

HA! Yeah, that causes a slight bit of problem lol.

Dang man... the rear isn't even flexed in that pic - imagine what your RTI score will be with the front and rear fully flexed out!!!

 

I can't wait to fully flex her out!!! I replaced the calipers today and wow what a difference. My mileage is 15 MPG which I can't complain about. No pics today i got rained on after class.

Justin: Text of FB message me the info for the ride on the 25th or whatever date you said. I should be able to make it with no issues. I'm also trying to make it to the the opening of the ORV park just for Jeeps and buggies in Sumterville.

 

How is the unibody and 35s with no stiffeners?

 

Unibody is doing great. No cracks or breaks. She rides great too!! I'll add stiffeners in the beginning of summer while doing my cage, targa top, and paint

 

Really starting to look good. I'm running the IRO stiffeners and i'm really happy with them. They are coming out with front end stiffeners also that rap under the unibody.
Got to see the prototype while I was at the shop the other day.

 

Should look something like this. Could have went higher but my little one was with me and she doesn't like the rti ramp.

 

Like I promised some interior pics.

The rear of your jeep looks sick man! Looks like it has some serious *****... Good to about the unibody, i'm sure sliders help stiffen it up as well.

 

I don't have sliders yet... And on a update status I hit a deer tonight, that bastard didn't know what happened to him.

 

Well, APPARENTLY, they changed the date to last weekend 'cause the wanted to avoid crowds.... so I'm assuming there will be a lot of other people wheeling there this weekend. In other words - if you go out there and get in trouble, someone will be there to help you out. I got shorted 200 bucks on my check this week, so I'll be going exactly NOWHERE!

I don't know about serious *****, but he has some green ones hangin' off the back.

Jeep ok?

 

Jeep is fine, just ran it over. never touched the body of the jeep just the tires.
