The xj is done except for a front driveshaft, waiting on it to get made by a local shop...





I also got the Tan truck finished and back in service with the 456 geared axles and lift that was under the xj.





I also took the 35's off the teardrop and dropped to 32's. It was to tall and I didn't like the look of it, I also narrowed the fenders and cut an angle in the rear because I thought it looked to squared off....

The wife says I can't do all that to her Crown Vicky Jon. She says you are a bad influence.

She is however tired of people laying on the horn because she doesn't drive it like a sports car. She keeps talking about a pop up 30 cal when she hits the trunk monkey button. So far she has the button
