Not only am I a Dodge owner, but I also have a 93 XJ that I am building for the more treacherous offraod adventures....are there any others about?? Mine is still in stock state, but there is a 4.5 inch lift and 31's waiting for install. Also looking at either getting or fabing my own snorkel set-up. Future plans include a new front bumper w/ winch , on board air, full cage, and ??  not bad for a $700 XJ |

XJ's ROCK!!! I would like to get one for a daily driver/daily off raoder, those 4.0 HO's are great motors with alotta power for all the XJ wieghs, not to mention the lifts and parts are cheap, and the AW4 is one hell of a good auto tranny. That thing looks like it is in great shape for $700  Chris |

ya, it's not bad. it needed a t-case, drivers window and steering column. was a theft recovery and the owners wanted to get rid of it.
now it's my project......
also have the SYE for it but will need to get a different driveline before I install it.

yep...it is kind of a slow site , but i have got some really good info from them and haven't had any problems with people making me feel stupid for asking questions.... I've lurked about over at naxja and wasn't real pleased with some of the answers people were getting....like you should know this already, why you asking....stuff like that. Like I said too, Jason over on Jeeperz is very knowledgeable about the XJ's and has always had good info....... and the peeps arer friendly too  |

Jeeperz is a pretty good site for info, just really slow, the first page of active topics take ya back a week!!! Maybe one of you guys from over there should give em a link to this place, I would, but it might seem funny since I have never posted there before, nor do I have a Jeep.

not big on jeepsunlimited, I dunno what it is, just always have trouble sortin through everything, but I check pirate4x4 pretty regulary, I just don't post. Talk about a site that will really blast your question had ever been asked. Other than that i get a lot of info from the guys i work with, southernjeeps.org, naxja.com ect.. Southern is probably my favorite because it's pretty fast, but the guys are all real nice when i have dumb questions
little update I got the entire front of my lift done, man that thing is mean lookin, 6.5" likt and 34x10.50 ltb's. Still waitin on the rear leaf springs though, oh-well hopefully soon enough, than it's time for the winch, roll cage, bucket seats..... man i gotta start saving up!

When you're ready to order that d-shaft, let me know. We're in Tom Woods' dealer program and get a 15% discount... d**n it's nice to be outside of TEN's sites where I'm able to offer deals to others interested in bettering their vehicles without being burned at the stake! I caught HELL today for offering up a bunch of deals on used parts that I listed one of their sites. I've been considering wiping out my galleries on a handfull of their sites and finding a new online home! |

That is going to look sweet panthers65, keep us updated...
Oh ya, apt3178 I have no problems with you promoting deals and your knowledge on lifting trucks. Othere member's opinions and help is the best thing for a site like this. Great to have you!!

In that case.... We're also set up with High Angle Driveline, Fabritech, Weld Racing, JB Conversions, Randy's Ring and Pinion, Orme Bros., and a bunch of others. We aren't really set up to get discounts on trinkets, nick knacks, and "pretty parts", but if you're looking to bomb-proof your truck we can get the parts to do it at reasonable prices.
