Did some wheelin this weekend. Jeep ran great until the way home. Blew the head gasket. Got the head pulled and the only damage was the gasket. A guy in my Jeep group came down with his dually and trailer and gave me a lift home.
I also had the pleasure of meeting a CF member. Troglodyte, he's a cool dude. He has the white and black XJ on 4.5". He winched me out of a pond and I pulled him out of a mud hole.

Been a while since I've been here.
Been wheeling at some local spots.
I've ordered a couple electric fans. 1,730 cfm each. I'm going to order one more and do the same thing that Dirtbound offroad sells. I got one of their fan shrouds for $40. I also picked up a set of RC lower control arms, trac bar and some Dick Cepek shocks. I'm wanting to go up from 3", thinking 4.5" but 6.5" is looking good.
Hit the trails last weekend and realized my gauges were in a horrible spot, so today I moved them. Also figured out that my blower motor shorted out.

Say do you have a link to the fans on eBay? Ahh never mind I think I found them. Looks like @ $40 for a pair rated at @ 1500 cfm and looks like I can get them in red.

Here's the link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271053704114...84.m1497.l2649
I'm going to go with different fans though. These are cheap and don't do the job.

Been a long time since I've posted here.
slight improvement on my XJ. So far, heres the list of mods.
RE 4.5" coils
ACOS
IRO double shear adjustable trac bar
Ironman adjustable LCA's
RE 3.5" leafs
Ironmam SRB's
Ironman shackles
extended brake lines
KM2 33x10.5's
Aussie locker up front
LSD in rear
stock 3:55 gears(for now)
Dirtbound offroad extreme winch bumper
Smitybilt XRC 9000lb winch
Dirtbound offroad 1/4 fender armour
Rigid industries duallys on the bumper
Detours A-pillar brackets with cheap lights
Hooligan offroad LED light bar brackets
50" light bar
Hood vents
High flow water pump, with high flow thermostat housing
Homemade storage system in the rear

Still need to regear, wire up my flex-a-lite fans, wire up all my accessories in one nice and neat location. Also, have a set of d-window rims I need to install.
Anyway, here it is. I'm satisfied with the way its turning out.
