I was rocking a 2" lift and blown shocks on 35s hahaha don't recommend it... A lot of them rolling better might also come from the lighter stock wheels I was running... Went up to 16" fancy wheels and they weigh a bit more. But with the 5 speed cruising the highway I was getting 23mpg

 

BOOM!

 

nice to see her all back together

 

Yea I know, the new rubber will be in Tuesday

So it's been awhile, things are picking back up. Doc gave me my work clearance but I'm still not back to work. Finally got papers so I've been puttin around town getting the hang of the 5speed. Still fighting with my brakes and trying to figure out my track bar but it's just about done with phase 1. More photos to come in the next day or so

 

It's alive!!!!

 

This should hold pretty well. Just took the suction bracket off and lazy bent a bracket that fits to bolt to the dash. So far it works

 

Mid December camping in cat county ew york... 60 degrees all night long. Gotta love it

 

Well, the 98 is toast. Just my luck

 

Damn! That blows man. I feel for you northern guys, I'd go insane worring my ride was gonna rust. Anything other than light surface rust is near unheard of down here.

You planning on building another rig?

 

Wow that rust is crazy...
That actually can be rebuilt....
I've seen guys go to a shop and rebuild it with stronger pcs of metal...
Never seen it on an xj but an mj they do it all the time especially around the rear bed frame(leaf spring mount)

 

Dang! At least this one isn't your fault! 3rd times a charm?
