The Gymkhana XJ Build Thread
Hello all this is my build thread. I read the rules and it doesn't see anything about linking to other sites so if you want to see what I have previously done then check out my website xjbuild.com
First of all what is the gymkhana xj?
It was an idea I had to make a gymkhana style video with an xj.
If you don't know what Gymkhana is watch this:
If you do then watch this:
This is the video I made of my Gymkhana XJ
Currently my cherokee looks like this. My plans are to cover it in decals and then paint it black. Then remove the decals to create a see through camouflage design.
I hope it turns out good and will try to keep this thread updated but I will always be updating my blog so if you're really interested then keep checking my blog. I'm not trying to advertise that's just where most of my build info is.

here is a truss.....it is a metal brace that is welded to your axle, it helps to keep you from bending tubes and other carnage.....it is a must if you are jumping a jeep

truss the axles and get or at least check your motor mounts you have now, nothing ruins your day like a broken motor mount while under power like you were.

I don't want to sound mean or negative, looks more like something from the Dukes of Hazzard than any Gymkhana driving I have ever seen.
