well im never letting anyone drive it again and its not totaled altogether its still fixable lucklybut i need to getthe cash beause i cant find any headerpanels around here that are cheep

 

so i was going to vacuum my rear carpet and when i was moving some tools i felt a little flex in the floor by my drivers side wheel well. so i went underneath and started poking a "small" rust spot with a screwdriver. then i just said screw it and this is what i did for about an hour

 

decided i need longer shocks...

 

Did a trail side tie rod R/R on mine...






Then the guy behind me in the pix did a trail side R(removal only ) Called it a short day.

 

^^ How the heck did that happen!? ^^

 

Not really sure why it was twisted like that instead of busting a joint. Only thing we thought of was maybe the shaft had a ding/dent it right at that spot....then the planets lined up and it twisted.

It's just a late 80's XJ 2dr with a 5spd, 3.55's, rear locker, and a stock 4.0 with some 35" Baja MTZ's.

I was guiding him up the rock ledge and it kinda hoped twice, then on the 3rd time it popped.

 

Made same mistake a few years back with letting one of my kids borrow my car, needless to say I don't own it any more since then. Wrecked the whole front end. Now my son just got his license a week ago and says: Dad let me use your Jeep to drive to school. FAT CHANCE.....

 

When you say header panel what are you talking about? Our parts yards are full of XJ's maybe you could have one shipped if the price is right. PM me with a pic or info.

 

Just picked up a "new" 1988 cherokee pioneer for a case of beer and i drank half of it with the guy. Needs some work (Not a big deal) but so far all i did was put a battery in fired it up and drover her home.
hell of a deal!

 

Sounds like a great deal! Welcome to CF! Lets see some pics when you get a chance.

 

Wheeled it like I stole it and bent my track bar.

 

went river camping yesterday

 

I changed the thermostat and gasket because it was leaking coolant before. First time changing a thermostat.

 

he means the piece that holds the grill, the lights and says jeep on top

 

Did that the day before i left for my 377 mile drive to school.... But i was on the street when it happened lol
