Made the trek out to Carolina Rock Shop in Concord NC yesterday to meet Ary Ebrahimi. He seems like a cool guy, and has a sweet XJ. Now if we can link up on the trail someday...
I picked up a set of 4 31x9.5 TSL Radials on latemodel stock Jeep Sport wheels. Something different to try out while waiting for my 2 new 33x12.5 BFG MTs, and saving for another pair of rims...can y'all BELIEVE IT! for the first time since like Jan 2000 I'll actually have "almost" matching sets on the XJ and the 2 MJs :shock: plus FS spares to go around 8) Getting the 2 MJs able to 'roll around' will be a key 1st step in actually maybe getting to work on them.
The folks at the Carolina Rock Shop seem like they have it together. I have seen their handiwork before on a ZJ bumper/rock rails, and it's first class. It was good to finally meet them in person and see their little shop of horrors. They are real close to Lowe's Motor Speedway, behind the fire station on Pitt School Rd.
Also have a line on a 98 8.25 29 spl ax, 60k on it and has a Powertrax No-Slip, but still has 3.55:1. The seller wants $400. I was considering a no-slip for similar $$$, but I am still unclear if the 8.25 in mine is 27 or 29 spline. This deal gets me another complete 29 spl. XJ Ax to simply bolt-in, and leave me a good running spare for another project or to hookup a D35 Jeeper in need.
I know GA Mike will holler "weld the old one" but looking for other opinions.
Parts is Parts, Next up?...scoring another AW4 and 231 for one of the MJs
