An early x-mas present

[ClarkPeach]

My brother decided to take me out last night to get me an early x-mas present. The edges will be getting filled in next Tuesday night. :wave:

I've got two legs, you know. ;)

[RTicUL8]

LOL! I guess you do...:D

[Apostle]

what happens when you no longer own a jeep?

[ClarkPeach]

Not really a concern of mine. I plan to run the XJ into the ground, then winch it out and keep going. :P

Seriously though, even if I no longer own a jeep down the road, that doesn't mean I will stop liking them. Pretty much the same thing with my mitsubishi tattoo.

[G.P_XJ]

nice tattoo! If it were me i woyld have gone with this...

Why not? DSMs can be as reliable as any car when you take care of them. My current one on the other hand, has not left my garage in a year and a half.:D

Here's my whore of a car...

And here's how it was back in August 2008, before I tore it down...

One day it will be back on the road/track...

Get the Crank Walk or something?

I was a 1G guy.

Not NEAR reliable enough, especially if you compare it to our XJ's


But NUTS they are FAST for Cheap.

[ClarkPeach]

Nope, no walk. Bottom end has 13k on it, and I already fully built the top end less than 5k ago. Just wanted to tear it down to have the trans rebuilt and add a welded center diff, as well as forge the bottom end while I was at it. Ended up running out of money and time, but the plans are to gut and cage it, E85, 35-40psi boost and hopefully squeeze out a 10 second time slip.

No doubt that they can be made fast for cheap (can't beat the styling, either). XJs are WAY more reliable though. :P

[xj4xforlife]

Hay. I have that same tattoo!

:dunce: Stupid question:
I'm still new to the whole ricer thing and was wondering what does "DSM" stand for??
I have an idea but not sure and its been driving me nuts ever since I bought my 2G Eclipse back in Sept.

Diamond Star Motors - basically the collaboration between Chrysler and Mitsubishi that resulted in the Talons, Eclipses, Stealth's etc.

[Grant]

take it off the jack stands

[JJacobs]

Diamond Star Motors.

a buddy who instructs in the SCCA program I run, about 200 HP ago. A very quick car indeed.

Haha how funny.


Either way, screw those DSM things man, they were fun in High School, but I grew out of it.

[Seiler]

Yeah, I've been down that road before.

Nice. I just hope Jeeps remain timeless. I remember when a '79 Trans Am got you any girl you wanted. But, I'm glad I don't have a Trans Am tattoo now.:D
