I screamed at my XJ today! Damn radiator started to leak! At least they are fairly cheap. So now, I need new rear springs, a radiator, and some offset rims. I guess it is true:

"J"ust "E"mpty "E"very "P"ocket!


However, I am still not trading my Jeep for anything!

 

Got in a little bit of a fight with her the other night when I was trying to replace my battery. I had a minor mental breakdown in the Advance Auto parking lot, threw my ratchet at my hood, and started kicking the **** out of my rocker. It's all good, though, cause the underside of my hood is already rusted, and I have body damage on the side I was kicking.

 

heres where ill be getting my next radiaor.... $180 for an aluminum radiator

i decided im cutting a hold in the floor behind the passenger seat to allow room for the exhause tube to fit over the rear cross member then ill patch it up with sheet metal. i also pulled all four bad shocks i managed to mess up in one day of wheelin

 

I was checking out radiator barn just a little bit ago. The thing that surprised me, is I can actually get an aluminum one from my local Napa dealer for $155 out the door. I thought that it was going to be more than that, but surprise, surprise, they were the cheapest for a change!

 

I worked as a flat-rate mechanic for 15-years, and if somebody that wrenches can keep it together all the time or does not have a temper, then I don't trust them, lol.

I am not as bad as my older brother, though: He had a piston ring break and damn near cut his thumb off, so what does he do? He punches the 350 Chevy he was rebuilding! He only needed 5 stitches for his thumb, but require around 10 for the first 2 knuckles and fingers on his right hand! I ended up rebuilding the thing, since he could not use his right hand for about a month!

 

Roadtrip! Minneapolis to Detroit!

 

Being from Battle Creek, Michigan, it is always better to do that route with about 1.5ft of fresh snow on the ground

Which way are you going? You going through Wisconsin and down I94 or through the U.P.? I know it is about 100-miles farther going through the U.P., but man it is pretty this time of year!

 

Got her wet for the first time:


(River crossing in Iceland)

 

Awesome jeep

 

ever hear of the Polar Bear Club? very similar

 

Just felt like updating...last time i posted she was stock

 

Those flares look huge... custom?

I drove al the way to Napa to be told they dont sell leaf shackles ... They informed me I can only get them from a dealer. I left before I said something asinine.

 

very nice! I wish I lived there.

 

Go to rusty's. You can get real nice ones. With or without a lift. Very beefy.

 

Done & done. Finally re-installed my antenna for the last time. Got the paint right.
