Looking good, we got to get our rigs out together sometime. I was in Naches for Labor day weekend. We have a similair look with our exo's... :cheers:

I can tell you this... My last wheeler was a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ. It had 4.7 v8, auto, Atlas 3.8, Ford 9 rear with 35spline shafts, front 960 35spline, full belly skid, solid link longarm (rockcrawler), custom gas tank skid, and belly skid, Arb front bumper, winch, custom rear bumper, kevins sliders, and 5 17inch beadlocks with 5 37 krawlers. I weighed it with 3 people and gear for 3 people for a 3 day Rubicon trip (camping gear, coolers, 5 gallon water, 5 gallon fuel, bbq, It was full in the back, and had stuff on the roof and one back seat was down with stuff in it. The rig weighed 6952lbs!!!!!! So 1 tons, bumpers, winch, sliders, armor, I doubt you will keep it under 5000lb, also the factory # is usually low....

I talked to the guy at no roads reuired. Seems like a great thing they have giong, so I want to support it. There is a small chance I will not have my Jeep on the road. I may be in middle of putting in limit straps and doing a big belly skid....we will see if I can wait till after next weekend. I am dying to run my MJ at speed! I have yet to tune for speed due to no limit straps and its killing me. Built to go fast too, yet I have not. Do not want to unload suspension till straps are in.

The back door kills me too, bt still WANT IT SOOOOO BAD!! My buddy (with the white lj in moab pics) actually toom the pics. I did not see it, he did. He sent me the pictures. I did not see the picture text till about hour after he sent them. Had I seen them sooner believe you me I would have been out driving in circles trying to spot it! It drove by his buisness, he knew enoug to take pics for me but not to chase it down...lol.

Ya....i feel they cut the mj just behind the doors and cut the xj just at back side windows and morphed them so the "frame" for bed area would be there. I really want to see the doors open in the back. I think inside will still have the wheelwell and narrow bench

Spotted on State st. Heading into downtown Olympia. Back doors still have cut shape for rear tires, so not sure how it was morphed together. Pics are vest i could get...

Looks like Kate, the kids and I will be there....oh and the MJ too.

Did I read that correct; that you plan to tow your TJ with this MJ?

Looking good! Get it done by aug/sept and meet me in Moab next year!!

Love love love the trailer!!! Congrats

Yes, great show. Good to see you again this year. Your rig was looking great as well, vast improvments over the year on your rig. Looks ready for some serious wheeling!

Went to No Roads Requird (don't fear the jeeper). Name and location changed. Its now at Fast Specialties in Vancouver, Wa. I got to run my truck on there Mustang Dyno. 170 horsepower, 218 torque to the rear wheels. Figure a 25% drop from drivetrain, and a 10% due to it being a Mustang dyno and flywheel is around.. 230hp/295t. They had three classes. JK, cj/yj/tj/xj/mj, and other. I recieved Best of Show for the CJ/YJ/TJ/XJ/MJ class. The old MJ had a good day...and got a new sticker.

Pm me, we will swap numbers and make it happen!

Here is a couple pics of me putting MJ to work this week. Ballons for Taylors b-day party last weekend. Working on removing a flower bed area to widen driveway. Notice I picked up some 31'son for the trailer too.

No, but I have. I was third in our group and by the time we got Jamie and Luke through we wanted to move on since ther were about 8 rigs waiting behind us. No question I would have made it....just would have been slow and methodical and annoyeed the hell out ofto the beater exo'd rigs behind me. LOL.

Did a bad job taking pictures, was just to busy enjoying the MJ. SORRY! Here is a few I did get....

They do not have built in reverse lights.

....just arrived in Truckee. Grabbing a bita at the Blue Coyote.

Been working my arse off. 12+ hrs today and tomorrow. Leaving thursday morning for rubicon and fordyce..... Will update during trip with pictures :) What days will you be on the trail? We are doing the Rubicon Monday and Tuesday and Fordyce Creek Thursday and Friday. Willy Were hitting rubicon this friday bout 12a out of georgetown. Coming out sunday. Fordyce monday and tuesday. If you see a couple doucebags flip them off for me (they will be on trail same as you) they will be in a coilovered green toyota tacoma and a red YJ. :D

Yes, bendtech, j2squared set up air over hydraulic, and beadlocks are just do it yourselfs that I grabbed off craigslist when my Allied broke in half. They are temporary till I decide what wheels I want. To answer other question about trimming....the snips are broke so i just used air cut off and then smoothed with air and a grinding bit. Off course tapped it all first to avoid chipping paint.

Due to some people canceling we just went up to Naches for the weekend. Jeep did well. Did not take many pictures ...

Willy, To be honest I think with Wes it would be drop it off and pay for it. I have known him and wheeled with him for years. I planned to be there everyday working with him. He has three kids and the reality was it just didnt work. I finally just let him have at it so he could work on it on his time. He didnt have the time to be slowed down by me or to work around my schedule.

Hey guys. I want to say thanks for all the compliments and kind words. I have to give credit to Wes Hepp on this last set of upgrades. He did an amazing job on the suspension, cage, and front bumper. He also did an amazing job putting up with and working with my opinions, concerns, and odd ball wants for this portion of my build. So, thanks for the compliments and cheers to Wes for taking my MJ a step above what I wanted and expected it could be.
