Btw mine is a 5 speed I6 1989 xj with almost 8 and a half inches of lift and I only paid 2000$ for it. Then I spent the remaining money on wheels, tires, and a high lift jack. lol.
Niiiiceeeee

I need a job though for the winter. I have applied EVERYWHERE (like 10 places) around here....theres not much to choose from. I called them all back and asked them if they reviewed my application and still no job. I am about ready to just say f*** it and work at McDonalds

I did me some snow wheeling just not too long ago

It was very fun, the only downside was on the ride home my jeep was making a god-awful noise. It sounded like something rattling/clanking, and it only went away when I took it out of gear and rode neutral...I was very worried, then all of the sudden it was gone. Guess I just had something wedged somewhere. Who knows. If it comes back, it wont be driven anymore til I fix it so nothing catastrophic happens.

So, its been a while since an update, not that anyone cares lol

So here is whats happening my way. I have had an everlasting struggle to find a job these last 3 months. I have applied to 21 places, no interviews no nothing.

My tires are bald as sit, and my jeep isnt all that safe to drive with them, and I dont have any gas 90% of the time.

So I get a call on my way to a fellow Jeepers house to do tube fenders on his TJ ...my friend ben (another fellow jeeper in our club) has 4 free Cragar D-Windows for me...I am ALL over that. They just need some TLC.

So I have them...I get a call yesterday from my friend Brad (ALSO jeep club member/founder). He tells me his dad sold him a truck for dirt cheap that has 31" BFG A/T's and he is picking up my wheels, blasting them, painting them, mounting, and balancing those tires on them. FOR FREE! What a great friend.

And then today...I got a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know where my first paycheck will be going...his mailbox

Great week! Updates coming soon!!!!!!!

EDIT: Oh and XJ?2010...I thought you were talking about JKS Disco's. I already have the RC disco's....and YES they ARE a ***** to disco hahahaha
