Good luck getting the brake lines off I am a bought to rip all the brake lines out and start over. But good luck.

Any one every eat one. My grandparents cooked them for use when I was little. So the other day I was driving along and there was one walking across the road so I thought what the he!! I am game for some turtle. This is the first one I every cooked so I will let you guys no how this turns out. My friend think I am some kind of back woods hillbilly or something like that. I even invited them over for supper and they told me that they already had plans. :roll:

A little update here. I got my track bar in the mail last Friday and I just started putting it in tonight. Found out that I might have to drill the bottom hole on the axle out a little bigger because the bolt they sent with track bar won’t fit in the hole that is there. Also I got the front SS brake line installed and then I figured out how I am going to run the rear lines with the 8.8. Also I think that my rear shocks are to long. Great so I am going to measure and try to figure out if I can use the on I have or if I need new ones.

go to pirate and look there they can be dicks over there but man there is some good info. I found a link that talks about putting 5.0 in might have some good point for you http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45309

That was what i needed. I new that it was something like that but I wanted to make sure. Thanks Pete and Eagle :bowdown:

thanks pete i looked at that. Is that a MJ pop valve

O hell I am confused about this MJ to XJ pop valve thing. Ok going in a circle staring at the nose were do the lines goes: The nose one goes to the driver side front On top first whole Second one on top Back side of the valve On the bottom closes to the cab And last the one on the bottom front _______________________________________ And now the XJ pop valve: The one on the nose is pluged On top first whole Second one on top Back side of the valve On the bottom closes to the cab And last the one on the bottom front Ok now with that out of the way here is the question?? Which whole do I need to plug off to make the XJ pop valve work in the MJ? I think if I can get the layout of which line goes where I will be able to make this work.

I think that TnT is great I have seen Comancheon33 truck and that thing can flex. But for about 1/2 the price you can get the the Rock Krawler for around 600.00. If you talk to a vender i would say that you might be able to get it shipped to you for that. Look at my sig and you will find a link to a guy that i used. The only thing is I think it will move your axle forward about 1" which I think the TnT will do the same thing.

i think he was at one time or so was on here I think

Here is a video that a guy form MIOBI posted mostly Toyota’s but Comancheon33's truck is in there.

It is not Dustin. o that’s right one more thing to add to the trail damage is a front bumper as seen in the pic above it is missing will it was about to fall off so Brad helped it come off. :nuts: As far as rock rails go I would also agree with wheel to wheel and a little exo cage. Or maybe come up with a way so that a chain saw comes out from the front and cuts the trees down before you mow them down. :popcorn:

this is on a xj but may be you can build somthing like this http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=919788

ok ok i am a little slow today lack of sleep. Also i fixed it

Special thanks goes out to Comancheon33/35 and his friend that came down to MIOBI (Make It Or Break It). Man these was my first taste to the off road world and it was a blast. There was 3 XJ, 3 MJ, 2 Toyota’s in our little group I think please correct me if I am wrong. Trail damage was as follows one XJ busted a knuckle. Dustin decided to mow down half a dozen trees so there was a cab corner and a good dent in his box. Brad the Toyota I was riding in busted a radius arm and his winch quit working. I bet there is more but that is what I caught out of what people were saying. In all Sunday was a great day to be out wheeling. So here are just a few pic that I have hopefully Dustin has some more to add.

I no that we some of us go to Pirate will I found this and laughed my a$$ off. So I thought I would share with you guys. http://www.vidmax.com/index.php/videos/view/1647 This is one of those posts that you might be offended by because it is a little more than this site gets to. So if you don’t like the sight off porn or the F-word stay a way not that this in "hard porn" but just a guy that got caught cheating. SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS ONLY A WARING TO THOSE THAT GET THERE FEELERS HURT!!!! :nuts: SORRY I AM CLIMBING DOWN NOW

Looking good man all Not to hijack but you are still making it down this weekend to wheel and MIOBI. I won't have my truck done but I plan to make it out to meet up with some of you guys. :popcorn:

Thanks for your guys input and i am going to go as close to 90 as eagle has suggest and then later when i add the angle it will be all set to go. Thanks Guys

Thanks man, so what i need to do is take CW angle iron and my shock mount That would work Right?? Or is there any why that I can make mine work?

Since my shock mount are not right any one have a pic that the can share. Thanks I am headed to CW project page right now,
