nice pictures man! How do you like your new camera? I shoot with a Canon 7D and it has served me well so far, I love it

 

i like it man. its a big step up from the d40. still trying to get used to it though. how do u like the 7d? after using a nikon i cant shoot a canon, button wise everything seems backwards, im sure if i started canon id feel the same exact way about the nikons. both are super nice camera companies but i probably will always stick with nikon at this point. one of these days im going to buy some nice glass and eventually upgrade to a full frame sensor body

 

Meet our first baby, Brynlee Faith born 8/7/12 at 1:59pm 6lb 5oz 17.5in

XJ time will pick up again soon I hope, time to yank to motor and start the rebuild

 

Congrats on the new family member!!! Good lookin jeep too, was that a kit u bought for the head lights or did u fab it up?

 

Congrats on the kid!

 

thanks fellas! @josh77, i fabbed them up. hell, one side still aint done. once i found out the motor was toast i lost interest in the headlights and starting re-pulling the motor apart.

 

i was born at 1:59pm aswell. it's a very good time to be born

 

Congratulation!

 

thanks man!

 

well now we've kinda "settled" in with the baby and i'm back to work, i got a few things done around the house including getting the garage half way decent, enough to get the XJ back in there...

pushed it down the driveway to turn it around so i could get the engine puller in there







already got the head off. plan to work on it this weekend and get everything ready for the engine puller, and maybe get it pulled. we will see.

 

got the engine puller over since we got the motor from our donor truck for our other "project".

figured some of you may enjoy this as well, but me and my dad are working on building up our 72 nova with a 5.3tt setup

cluster of wires i have to build a harness from :/

also, some of you may remember my other xj. my old 98... my brotherinlaw bought it from me and we've been slowly working on it. he bought some spare icons my dad had and some treadwright 245/75s, new carpet, headliner, etc. it's looking real good

 

what size lift kit and tires size are you running? really like the way it sits

 

just 2" BB and 245/75/16s. Gonna be 4-4.5 on 265/75s next year though

 

got the front clip off to make it easier to work on. got everything but motor mounts and trans bolts loose. itll be out next week hopefully.
