Very well done post , called the beginners guide however i'm wondering how many will sit and read anyways as i just did . Nice job ! :clapping: :wrench: :clapping:

Well over the last 2 weeks i've concentrated on my truck , after reading the Onyx project again for the 4 or 5th time i purchased a 1997 xj , loaded except leather on the road drove it home , 4.0l , auto o/d , 5.5" lift rough contry shocks , ranchos on the rear , tranfer case drop , Center line 5x9" rims , bushwacker fender flares , 33x12.5x15 tires , Sony sound system , cold air intake , locked myself I'm the shop the past weekend done a 8 til 8ish Saturday , 8 til 10:30ish sunday , took out all the ol dana 30 & 35 gear and installed the xj dana 30 and 8.25 , with all new poly bushings and rancho shimmy shock , had to adjust all the drive line angels . In the end i ended up taking 3ish" out of the front and maybe an inch or two from the rear , took it for a drive without the aligment and its the best thing i've ever done to a truck it hadles better than the car i sold to purchase the xj :rotfl2: . Next project header , front bumper , running lights .

Woke up today with that thing on my mind havn't seen it in three weeks due to my stint in the hospital sence Christmas , i went to the shop despit my pain droped in my new 1000cca battery 3 turn had exhaust fumes , pretty good for not being started in 3 months , put in OD and burnt the pi$$ outta it for 45 min shut it off wet and done some measurments for my dana44 , 9" swap . Went home took meds day dremt about for the remainder of the afternoon soon baby soon dana 44 , 9" rear , granny low 4spd , 315ci , tri power !!! :chillin: :chillin:

This so makes me want to start cutting ! :thumbsup:

Great job man , You give me hope for the future ! So your wife let you work on your gear IN the house ? HHhhummm Does she have a sister ? Haha ! Keep up the good work !

Very nice ride ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Nice rig ! :clapping:

Well now that i've takin the truck cover off it after 4 months , time to get started on some more mods . Long arm -y arm , Sold my 33's going back to 31's . Should be good enough for now till i hear the 35 snap ,

Very nice MJ .

:rotf: All I can think to write is with every action there is a equal and oppisit reaction ! So i'm gonna guess you have one heck of a good day coming your way in the future !!!! Thinking that it sound like you had a crappy day , however ! CrUNCH ! ! ! woulda been a long rant LOl ! ! !

Don't recall ever seeing one with bumperettes on it before .

Nice little ride , love the canyon rims on the mj's :thumbsup: . Do you have any build pictures of your red one ? I've seen the odd glips of it in pictures here and there but would like to see more . Is that the one with the blue oval dana 44 front swap in it ?

Really wanna see pics , sounds like a great project ! :cheers:

Get out your wire'n diagram , locate your grounds clean and inspect them take a good look at your wires were they insert into any conectors , please if you have to replace one soilder it ! 4by'n , bouncy bounce , if you just crimp it it will only work loose again and possiblie leave you stranded or worse we could loose a nother presiouse mj to a fire OR WORSE AGAIN YOU A MEMBER !. Not saying this will cure the problem but that would be my first step . And my 2 cents worth .

Nice MJ ! Welcome to the club !

I still havn't forgot about your pics ! next time i'm at my other "faster" computer !

Yeah modded the rims to make them wider ,also to keep the original style for what it matters .

Well , if it was me in your situation , i'd chop top it ! tell the wife it's to make it more pratical in the woods :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :yes: :ack:

I' m gonna go throw up now ! such a nice peice of art work , as far as i'm concerned it's still a very nice tuck even though she lookin lika bernta marshmelloa . I'm thinking fix'r she'll love ya right back !
