I know several people with xj's. I know of an 85 in Tri-Cities Washington that's a coplete rig with stock 4.10 carriers all for 300 cash. it's a two door, and has a shifting problem. Probably has a bad clutch slave.
I might also know where a front axle may be. I'd need to check on the gears though.
That's cool about your son. I bet he has some fun!!

He loves wheeling more than wrenching and fabbing though! I need to get my gears matched front and rear and my front locked up so we can get serious.

The closest person that could get to your area would be in either Bend or Oregon City, but if you know someone within an hour of either of those I could probably get the axle. Thanks for the offer!

yea i guess i prolly need to post more pics of my rig....aint nothin fancy hoping to get stuff done on it soon......anyway back on topic....on that particular rear bumper how much did you spend on matieral?

I've got $65 in 4" cutting discs,d-rings, and receiver. The two 2x4x1/4" side pieces cost $20. The 2x6x1/4 tube will run around $50. the box tube and 1/4" plate should be around $25. Around $200 cash and your valuable time should be able to get it done. Get the stuff together and some beer and pizza and we can work on it together here at our shop while our Ladies shoot the sh**.

If you are serious, I'll look in to it. My son and his Mom live in Prineville. I could get it that far for free. He comes back to visit once a month. He also practices baseball in Bend year around so getting it there would be easy.
Let me know, and I'll check in to it. How much are you willing to spend?

REVROK · Dec 16, 2009

Putting a pencil to it... 200 for gears and install kit figure gas to visit my sister... I'd have to get it for 100 or less to pull it off... I might pay more just to save the hassle of gear set up and it would be great to visit!

I never put it on a scale, so I don't know the weight. Probable 75 to 90 pounds. That's a wild guess!!!!

kniel3378 · Jan 3, 2010

Alex98 · Jan 3, 2010

great thread.
hope your daughter regains intrest...
don't know who all the people in the photos are, if they are family, you have a good looking family!

I'm the tall bald guy with the blue sweat shirt. The tall kid with the goatee is my baseball playing son. He was down for the holiday. They Lady is my girlfriend, and the little guy is her son and my partner.
We had us a good old red neck new years working in the shop together while finishing up the bumper. We had way to much fun.
