For the record, the pic is of MDXJ's rig, but he did the same rocker conversion on mine, and is working on my quarters too. He does do nice work, doesn't he?

i didn't think that was your rig, but it does indeed look good. i think i'm going to do mine with 2x4... maybe 2x5. i really don't know yet. i had a 6ft section of 2x6 that i traded away. i almost wish i kept it though... i really have no idea right now... i've looked at a bunch of others' build threads of this and can't decide. i like formatt's though, i'll say that.

It'll get put to good use.

LoL - thats kind of funny. I've seen both your Jeeps in person and that post and pic threw me off for a second until I figured it out. There for a minute I thought, "Man, Rob went crazy over the past few months" :looney:

Are your rockers now air tanks like his are?

And yes, he does very good work. He fixed my striker plate perfectly!!

If ya weren't hours away I'd let ya work on my jeep too, if that's all ya got to do!!

haha yeah I hardly have the time to do those few things, living in a townhouse, I always have to go to other places to work on it, pain in the balls.

 

[5spd_xj]

Ahh, yeah, that sucks When I move out, I told my girlfriend that my ONLY two requirements are a NH address and a garage, the rest is 100% up to her heh

I had similar requests, i needed a garage, or a larger driveway. I currently have had 4xj's and a crew cab fullsize in my new driveway with nobody blocked in. I love my new driveway

 

[js_customs]

My endless list of crap to do..

1) replace upper and lower ball joints- doing those tomorrow
2) replace my LCA's
3) drill/tap new holes for rear bumpstops and put them back in
4) Get 4.56 gears installed in the D30 and D44- just ordered gears/install kits today from national drivetrain
5) Get ARB installed in the 44
6) disc conversion on the D44 (hopefully)
7) make up some brackets to bolt my sub down so it doesnt slide around
8) get a transfer case skidplate and sye and install them
9) install gas tank skid plate
10) get OBA done

Not sure if I'll get to the disc conversion in time, I might just buy a new set of shoes for the 44 and just run it for a while. I'm not sure if I'll have the funds to get the SYE or transfer skid plate since my axles are more important, but we'll see.

Would love to get this done before NACFEST...

OK, So I have bitten off way more than I can chew and I have not even started yet. I have 2 "built" D44 complete axles, A TnT Y-Link, Springs, Leafs, Shackles and Unibody stiffeners to put on a 90 4 door... Anybody in the Maryland area(vehicle is in West Friendship, Howard Co.) willing to help with the project. Welding skills a BIG PLUS! More than willing to return the favor and YES THIS IS A TRAIL RIG, NOT A MALL KRAWLER! I have a weird schedule though. Wed. and Thurs. off
Also the work will be done outside on blacktop. I have access to air tools and we will have a compressor to run them. Can also compensate with food, beer, and possibly some cash. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can turn a wrench but I know when to ask for help. Post or message if interested and willing.
