I made pretty good progress today. Got my "custom" exhaust tip installed. Then I moved on to the roof rack. The "free" rack I was hoping to use turned out to be aluminum. And while that's probably fine and it is very light weight, I can't weld it and didn't want to mess with trying to tie it...

Not really earth shattering but I wanted to give myself a break. Decided a simple project I could knock out was a tip for the exhaust. The tailpipe was to short and I figured I could whip something up and burn off some creative juices. I've had the idea a while and got it done. With a nod...

Wow.... epic congratulations! We've all loved and lost, built things we regretted. Here's my all black, cherry 85 I bought two days after basic training in 1990. 38 ground hawgs and stock 272 gears...yup. 2pc rear axles. Yup. A pair of kc daylighters. Yup. Hahaha. Sadly I let my never rusty...

As for mine... I had to put the drawers on hold while trying to finish stuff to get the jeep back on the road. Got the rear bumper built, installed, and painted. Also started working to get the light duty roof rack installed. And whipped up a new battery hold down.

What if you made the support tie in to the bumper? Not sure if that would help/be enough but it would save having to adjust for uneven ground, vehicle flex and angle of vehicle while parked...?

^^nailed it. Good words Kevin. I've owned a half dozen XJs over the years. My 01, while the "nicest" I've ever started with, was a hassle. That 0331 takes one of the best motors ever made and hamstrings it. Hard to beat the platform though. -less expensive buy in cost (usually) than a tj...

It didn't come with one as it went through the government auction. I can look online at their site and see if it has any info with the serial number and showing where I paid for it. From there I think just a bill of sale from me to whoever buys it.?? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Pics added. For those that had asked... I apologize for taking so long to get back. I had a local guy that claimed it and was waiting for his tax return. His wife has since made him back out. :( I'm down to crunch time so if anyone with cash is able to come in the next 2 weeks I'm happy to pass...

Took the XJ for a spin around base last night, first time almost 2 years it's been driven. It goes, stops, turns, and nothing fell off. Yea! Now a few more bits and I can go get it inspected. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Most uncomfortable truck I've ever ridden in was a lil 50. I was in my late teens, about 5"11, and I swear... they chiseled the bench seat out of stone and angled the back forward instead of back... lol Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Hey expo folks and friends. It looks like the wife and I will be relocating in early April from Northern Virginia to Colorado Springs. Given the herd of vehicles, household goods, and stuff... I may have to thin the herd some in order to get the logistics to move in one fell swoop. Figured I'd...

Holy smart idea! Given how those windows like to pop out on trails anyway... great idea sir! Mind if I play with the concept and tweak it for my xj?

What is? Who you referring to?

Me? Hmm.. not sure yet. Base is probably about 15lbs? Each drawer is pretty portly right now. Once I'm done with them will judiciously break out the hole saw and lighten em up. I'm not super worried about the weight as I'm working on making some airbags mount in the rear. That will go a long way...

pics... finally. ;)

Diy handles... Spent some time this weekend working on the latches for my drawers. So far I'm liking the design. Note* have to wait to get to work to add pics. :(

So I think this is more a power question which is why I'm asking it here. If I'm wrong (mods) please tell me to move it. I happened across this fairly small, house sink instant hot water heater thingy. Obviously it runs on 110 but it made me wonder... If I plugged it in via my inverter and ran...

slow but steady... Been making some slow but actual progress on my drawers for the XJ. Lots (and LOTS!) of head scratching and simply staring at the thing in an effort to think through stuff but its finally working out. This week will be devising a functional locking method for the drawers and...

ok...ok...ok....how in the WORLD did you get your t case so spotless inside and out!?!?! OCD minds wanna know. :)

please put me in line (2nd..3rd??). If those ahead of me bail I'd like to get it coming fo Christmas. I'm in Arlington/Ft Myer VA 22211.
