I'm still here! I've been here since 06. I can name just a small few of problem members but all in all its always been level headed here.

that pin has to be a nightmare to remove/install each time.

if you are using stock XJ springs, then there is zero chance they are too stiff. As others have stated, look into better shocks. ES9000 are just your prototypical white body twin tube design shock. Look into monotube shocks (Bilstein is my vote) and I bet you notice a positive change.

I agree with the Napa opinion. I've yet to encounter a napa associate that isn't willing to help or is fairly knowledgeable. Anywhere else is the same year/make/model questions.

curious to see what is looks like

quite a few things going on there. Non MJ leaf packs, non factory front leaf hanger location, and the obvious main reason that they didn't execute these "mods" correctly.

if you have to ask, you already know the answer

just cut it all off or drill out spot welds.

considering one of their postings on FB has a photo of parts i have in my barn, i'd say its a scam.

Motor is in. Yes the intake is temporary lol. Also purchased a Holley Terminator X Max. My wallet hates me.

i have an EGO for the small areas my kubota can't fit in. I'm am super happy with its performance.

i tried posting a vid but the file was too large. it was cool. i tried to balance but could never get into R fast enough.

Dusted off some cobwebs and took it out last weekend. Got to do a teeter totter which was cool

glad to hear. i've heard a bunch of people say the sidewinder is awesome. my first plan was the terminator max, until i found out the lead times on actually buying one. truthfully i havent put much thought into the gauge side of things. i am keeping the body as is.

Making slow progress as of late Due to clearance with the steering box and LS power steering pump along with the overall alternator height, I picked up some brackets to relocate all of that. Pump is sucked in closer to the engine centerline and the alternator is much lower. I also picked up a winters sidewinder shifter. Biggest remaining puzzle piece is the harness.

Willy has always provided me inspiration for my build. His 88 is one of my favorites.

Test fit of the Novak mounts. Seem to fit up really nice

Got the 4.0 out. Will start tearing into the 5.3 next and clean it up as well.

i appreciate the dedication on bringing this thing back to life. i remember following the original build thread.

Been slowly collecting parts. Plans are to LS swap it. Got a 5.3 out of an 01 Silverado along with 2wd 4L60. Just started the tear down process of yanking to the 4.0 and prepping the 5.3. Will be running s10 headers and Novak mounts.

i run this in my wheeler https://www.amazon.com/ARKSEN-Aluminum-TruckBed-Trailer-Organizer/dp/B07YBSM43V/ref=sr_1_17?keywords=arksen&qid=1675955532&sr=8-17&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0

that thing is cool and scary all at the same time lol.
