Hey everybody. First post, but I've been lurking for a couple of months now and absorbing mass quantities of info. I'm pretty sure I talked to XJourney (sorry can't remember your name) at the Napa in Ferndale a while back. I think he noticed the XJ leafs in the back of my truck, and we talked about his cool rig for a bit too. Anyway, he told me about this place. Thanks. Since then, I've installed the TNT radius arm kit on my '87 two door, and also welded brackets on an early Bronco Dana 44 which is now under the front end. New axles/Detroits/4.88's front and rear(rear end is a Dana 44 also) and new set of Toyo 35's! Just have to get my steering worked out and then I can drive this beast. Can't wait to wheel again. It's been a while. Hope to meet you guys on the trail someday.

If you have gathered all of that information, parts and put that all together in the last few months you are way ahead of the curve!!

Welcome to the group.

Hans should get extra credit for inviting you

Look forward to seeing you on the trail soon.

Welcome aboard. Glad to see you made it here. Surprised you had time with all that work you have been doing. Sound like your rig has come quite aways. I am not sure if I have the cool rig, but it works. Sometime we will have to get together and talk XJ. Would love to see the TNT kit in person.

There is a run on the 30th of Oct to Reiter and one tenatively Nov 25

Thanks for the welcome, and yes, I,ve been throwing a lot of parts on it lately! It might be ready for Reiter on the 25th if I keep making progress. Only been there once before and would like to try it out with my new toy!

Welcome new NWC guy. BTW your in the neighborhood of our illustrious chapter president, Hans.

You'll like him...he always seems to be really helpful.

Welcome to the crew! Hope to see you at Reiter on the 30th.

If we are doing Reiter on the 30th, I would rather hit up Evans or Elbe around the 25th of November.

The wife didn't care for the 2-3 hour drive it takes us to meet up with y'all.

Oh yeah, Welcome aboard.

Thanks again for the welcomes! But I don't think I'll be making the Reiter trip on the 30th. I'll be installing knuckles and axles in my front end tomorrow and hopefully pull the transfercase on Sat for a SYE install. Plus a little break in time for the new gears, hopefully I'll be ready for a run next month

 

[JBweld]

Finally got the front axle together. Just have to bleed the brakes and finish my trackbar bracket before driving it.

Can't wait to go test it out.

2drs are where its at. You need to be desperate to ride in the back


keeps the riff-raff out.

It's easier to access your stashed crap in a 4dr though.

Nice jeep. How long did it take you to put in the TNT kit?

About a day and a half by myself. If you had good help you could get it done in a day.

plus they look better without doors.

why yes it is....

Thats why only 1 rides at a time. Not only that, when one does ride...no room for the WIFE. She won't ride in back... (wonder why I bought it?)

I'd like to thank JEEP for another excellent idea.

Megawatt,

Post more pictures of that Rear Bumper for us to drool over.

That is sweet.
