Edit* I'll be back on campus tomorrow evening. Just shoot me a message and I'll shoot you my number and we can meet up either at Hawthorne or Greek Village and I'll show you where it's at. There's plenty of mud and I'm sure I can get a few other guys to head out there as well.
Woah! I did the same thing on my old tires when I went out there!

I wont be there till sunday but I'll message you when I get back to school

Default Update!

Well I just got back to school after my winter break. The best way to start the semester is 2 snow days! So now I finally have time to update my build thread.

My Christmas break looked a lot like this





Over break I got and installed:
  • 4 Harbor Freight 100W lights
  • Spark Plugs
  • Spark Plug wires
  • Distributer cap & rotor
  • Spectre performance air filter(stock replacement)
  • Stock front skid off an older XJ
Still to be installed:
  • Stock transfer skid
And then I went wheeling!





And then when it snowed here I did my first snow wheeling!



Sorry about the big pictures but it won't let me resize them.

Anybody have any advice on installing the stock transfer skid?
I have some holes to put it in but there is not a captured nut because my XJ didn't come with one. I do still want it to be removable. Any suggestions?

Went to the junkyard last weekend and got a zj skidplate. Tried to install it to find out that you have to drill new holes Hopefully this weekend will get it installed. Also trying to get a grill bar for my bumper from a buddy at school

Looking good man. That trail I took you to is now closed so we went out today and found a new one just down the road. One of these weekends where I'm not swamped with school work I'll hit you up and take you back there.

Well I finally decided to remove my rear swaybar. It only took me about 30 minutes and was well worth it. When I went to remove it I found out that it was already out of it's mount on one side.

Found a bike jump on a trail and it was perfect for the comparison

With rear swaybar




Without rear swaybar



Much better

Needless to say the other tire was stuffed

Haha yea, it was about to collapse when I drove up it.15 will do fine for them. I'm going to refinish them before I let them go. Just shoot me a text or call me and I'm more than willing to give you a hand. Maybe you can roll over to my house and we can have a beer and do work.
