Awesome thread man, huge fan of drifting and 4x4ing. Have had a combo of 240sx's and jeeps over the years. Your living the dream bro!

that's a pretty rare color - you'd be better off just pulling it out and touching up the paint - or leave it as a badge of honor.

Agree. Top three colors on an xj. Gold, purple, forest green. Not sure on the real names of the colors. I feel ashamed seeing as how mine is purple. Everytime I see a gold one I have to stop and check it out. Much less a lifted one.

So I finally sorted out my slight overheating issue.. always seemed to run a little hot while going up a steady grade... or at low speeds... ended up getting a champion aluminum radiator locally and made a triple fan shroud and picked up some perma-cool 1450cfm fans... it's running about 30 deg cooler now..

Lookin good.

On a side note: I'm pretty sure I saw you on some TV show a couple weeks ago. I can't remember which one. 'Ridiculousness' maybe?

Would have never thought I would see you on a jeep forum lol

Also never in a million years would I expect to see te37s on a jeep.

Went out to Cougar Buttes recently and put some marks on ol' goldrush... thinking of going a bit further with it now and putting some real axles underneath it.. probably some dana 60's..
definitely going to be putting a cage in it soon as well.









rashed out... will be posted a video of this in the next few days or as soon as it's done..

Damn. Looks good though, and those tires seem to do great. I wish we had obstacles like that, southeast wheeling is a lot different. I love following your rigs on IG lol.

What did you do with the windshield wiper fluid bottle? I cut my fenders the same, just haven't done the driver side yet.

Build back-halfed XJ buggy. Leave the XJ front clip and dash but narrow it. Then spend lots of money on axles.
