My new beater

Thought I should intoduce my self to all the locals since I've been reffering back to this forum every 15 mins since I bought by my xj a month ago.

HI :compwork:

Now I guess it would be more appropriate to introduce my new toy. I bought a 93 xj country that was in a minor accident, that resulted in some cosmetic damage but nothing to serious but the guy selling it was gonna junk it so I offered him $300 bucks. I recently finished gutting the interior in preperation for a roll cage, and now I'm onto the lift. I'm just about done installing a 4.5" lift and have discovered the best way to install the lower links. It only required 3 jack stands, two jacks, 4 ratchet straps, two of the biggest crow bars I could fit, and a 4 lb deadblow hammer. :explosion
Two and a half hours later presto.

oh well guess I will finish tommorow, but I actually just wanted to thank everyone. I've found more useful information here then I thought I was capable of understanding, ( I was right of course).

P.S. As a fair warning my spelling skills are kindergarten at best.

I would but I will be at work pretending to give a damn. I can however say that I look forward to meeting everyone eventually. Mostly so I can look over your rigs and steal ideas but meeting people is cool sometimes too.
 
Welcome to the group Hollywood, how cool. Your rig has JV damage before it ever rolled over a rock. :gee:

actually the best way is to use only two tools.
1. Large pipe wrench on the knuckle
2. Floor jack

TTIWWP :)
