I appreciate it. Its getting there, handful of loose ends to tie up but the bulk of the "hard" work is done.

Did you ever make a decision on what axles you're going to run? Or is it a secret?

 

ill be dreaming of this jeep, when is that winch & bumper going to appear!

cant wait to see those kevs on the dirt man

 

Awww YEEEAAAHHH!!! Looks fantastic! I'm ready to buy a cheap beater, and put my XJ on stands so I can plug away as needed/allowed.

 

Going to be painting the bumper on Sunday hopefully. Should be mounting it up soon. Need to order a winch still though.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. It's getting close, but I don't think it will really ever be "done" haha.

 

Agreed. I don't think any of ours are actually "done". I'm trying to make a valiant effort to get my "done". Maybe this will give me the motivation I need!

 

I will be at the race track on saturday otherwise this sucker would be out on a shakedown run on sunday.

I will try to get all the little odds and ends buttoned up on sunday and take it to my work monday for an alignment. I also have a fork lift at work, might have to flex her out.

 

Geez you didnt mess around last night. Looks like it is about ready to go. Nice!

 

Only took me about 2 hours to get to that point. Everything went pretty darn smooth. Hardest part was muscling around the axle housing by myself to get it in place.

 

Hells Yeah!!! Lookin great man!
I may end up with a three link after I see how they work out for you guys. Soon as my Daughter gets her crap together I'm getting her an XJ and probably giving her my set up in order to go to IRO 4-link rear and 3-link front in my turd.

 

DO IT. Aside from it taking a while to get my 3-link I have no other issues with it. the quality and welds are outstanding. I'll be sure to post up my thoughts after I get some time on the trail, but from an initial overall quality and install standpoint, its outstanding.

 

Agreed. I daily mine, and it's awesome on and off road. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

BTW, lookin' good Ryan!

 

i dig my 3 link.

 

Wound up with a 3rd place finish on Saturday. Qualified 4th, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th qualifying times were separated by only a few hundredths. The top qualifier rolled a 9 so they inverted the top 9 on the start so we started 4th row inside (7th).


Made the pass from 4th to 3rd coming through turn 3 & 4 on the last lap, drag race to the checkered. Was a fun night for sure.

 

Jeep related post:

Didn't do absolutely anything on the jeep yesterday. Was stuck doing yard work and stuff around the house. I did however order some DBO bump stop leaf plates and energy suspension bump stops. Should get some trenching time in between today and tomorrow.

 

Awesome, man! Congrats on the top 3 finish! I got all excited thinking I was gonna see some pics of the Jeep rollin around. Forgot about the race, but definitely a good trade off.
