alright its been super slow build wise, not much going on though due to money, i got my iro hd tie rod, ill be putting it on sometime this week, my bumper should be here this week too hopefully, but im really working on gettin a job so not much might be happening for a little bit, but give it time

i made a list of things i wanna do:
- iro long arm upgrade
-sye and front ds from junkyard
- adjustable coil spring spacers and adjustable shackles, so i can go a little higher and experiment a little with and figure out what height i want
-regear to 4.56s and a lunchbox locker for the rear
-double shear tracbar conversion from iro
-redo my exhaust completely, its a little ratty, love the way it sounds with the flomaster 40 so ill stick with that
-header
-and MAYBE a cam swap to hold me over till my motor goes and i stroke it

thats my wish list, the list is in the order that i wanna do it, except for exhaust, thats a cheap easy fix and will do that whenever my buddy gets his welder, would like to buy my own haha

 

i herd that you can use a front ds out of a zj and they work alot better

 

yeah ive heard that too, i think they are longer, ill grab both and see what works better lol, driveshafts are only 15 bucks at my pick a part, and it wouldnt hurt to carry around a spare, you never know

 

nice XJ build man, looks really good

 

thanks man

 

ok well i might have a job finally, i went in to ace today to get some bolts and the manager says hey are you working? i said no im not why? and he said well we got a guy leaving and your here atleast 3 or 4 times a week so you might as well just work here, so i said yes your right! so i gotta fill out an app and go back in later today, wish me luck everybody, if i get this the jeep will become what i want it to be, and it wont take another three years haha

 

that is so awesome man congrats and goodluck.

 

thanks man i need it! haha

 

Hell yeah man. Congrats. I applied at Peterbilt last week and haven't heard anything back.
It was gonna pay $20 an hour.

 

whoa!! thats bank right there haha, i think ace is like 10 for full time, good enough though

i did get some things done today, i put in my new hd tie rod, aligned it as best as i could(way better than before), i replaced a wheel stud, finally pulled out my rear swaybar, and rotated my tires lol, ill get some pics of the tie rod installed tomorrow, my cameras dead we're supposed to get some snow tomorrow, nobody knows how much though, great weather people right? so maybe i can play in it with the jeep if its enough

 

Good deal on the job! Hope we get some snow, too bad it isn't the weekend though.

 

We actually got some snow yesterday... in TEXAS! Which is crazy, we only get it like maybe once a year... Most of the time its like once every 3 years.

 

yeah i know, i think next weekend my and a buddy are going up to george washington if you wanna go, not a big thing just a couple of us, maybe my buddy in his yota too

yeah my grandpa lives in OK and he was saying they got like 5 inches, he said it was crazy

 

I was actually born in oklahoma and lived there till i was like 10. Blizzards and Tornadoes is oklahoma... in the middle of everything.

Fingers crossed on the job. I'm sure you'll get it though if the mngr already said you should work there. haha.

 

yeah i really hope so, i gotta wait till one guy leaves, which will be in another week or so, but im still looking for another job just in case that falls through, im not too lucky when it comes to jobs for some reason haha
