the jeep is looking good. i might end up going doorless on my xj. when you gets yours done you will have to give me a ride in it so i can see what i think. oh and seeing your jeep flexed made my mind up on the bastered pack. now i just cant wait.

ruff88xj

i ended up with about 3'' from the bastard pack and with a 1.5 shackle for about 4.5 in the back. I might do a shackle relocation box to give more angle. When i do go doorless i'm either gonna to the blazer tire carriers for tube doors or just build my own, since i dd mine a 120miles a day

nismo_2005

yeah tube doors would be a must. ohio weather is the only thing that worries me though. the jeep gets parked out doors. and you know how rain is around here. especially days like today

ruff88xj

i hear ya on the weather, i keep leavin my windows down... I should invest some time into bed lining the floors

nismo_2005

yeah i think i am going to do that to my xj. it already has a one piece rubber floor that is molded just like the stock carpet but bed liner would be a little tougher.

ruff88xj

most of mine is still solid, there's a hole on the right rear wheel well in the hatch area...im gonna cut out the wheel well on my parts jeep to replace it.

nismo_2005

i have one spot on my rear floor pan by the back seat i need to take care of. other then that the floor is solid.

ruff88xj

If you want, I can cut a piece out of my parts xj to replace the hole

nismo_2005

i might just take you up on that. i cant wait till my xj is trail worthy so we can get a meet together and go wheeling.

ruff88xj

A friend of mine and I are trying to get to gether for a wheeling trip, he's from michigan we're planing either a badlands, wellsville, the mounds or bundy hill in late June or July. He's got to finish up cj5. My buddy is hopefully coming home from England mid June and were cutting a trail at his gma's out in the boonies of hocking county. When do ya want to meet up?

nismo_2005

well im in hocking so i can probably help cut that trail and get at least one more person in. as far as meeting up whenever is fine with me. shoot me a time and ill see if i can make it work.

ruff88xj

Well I'll have to see if come home or not to go over there, hopefully he does..... We have a lot of fun memories on the "trail to nowhere" lol. If yah got a dremel I'll be glad to meet any evening this week lol. I can't find mind.... I want my doors off. Lol

nismo_2005

its just a cheap auto zone dremel but yeah i got one and you more then welcome to use it. it needs some better disc the ones i got were burning up quick with just cutting plastic.

ruff88xj

i bought one while i was in AZ to go doorless on my 88, i got the whole cutting kit that came with it. Use only once when i had to cut the harmoic balancer broke off it. i haven't seen it since lol.
