Went to the local junk yard today (Potts Salvage) and when i pulled in the gate, this pile of half wit fabrication was sitting there... I couldnt help but laugh, and take pics of it... They told me who built it, and it doesnt suprise me one bit...

I gotta know who built it, prob know them. Hope you know someone at Potts or else you got ripped off. Tried to sell me a 203 that he called and argued with me that it was a 205 for $400. Walked away and wished I hadn't wasted my time or fuel driving up there.

Austin, Normans grandson told me that Ben and Lucas Lewis built it.. I know em so it doesnt suprise me. I know Norman quite well, he's helped me out alot. I know others that wont deal with him, but ive never had any problems with him.

If I need anything I call a buddy of mine that's friends with Austin, he picks it up on the cheap and I don't have to deal with them. Got a front ZJ drive shaft for 5 bucks if that tells you anything.

Guess you know him better than me. Kenny Kizzar was like that with me back when he had jeeps before the whole WERock thing. He's told me I could come up and play on the course but I don't have a cage and I know I'd end up on my lid.

Ive never had any dealings with Kizzar, anytime i called them about any parts the price was sky high so i just waited around on Norman or Joe down at 28 to get in what i was needing. Ive actually never been to a WE Rock event to really see what its like, drove by there a million times but never been out in the field to the actual course.

What a monstrosity.

Someone, at some point in time, thought they had a pretty awesome XJ. I appreciate seeing something different, but c'mon... really?

Radius arms done right are great. Look at just about any XJ long arm kit and that's what they use. I seem to recall everybody thinking one on a K5 frame was awesome about a week ago.
