Mad I missed the run. But swapped my buddies axle out would have been way easy if so many bolts didn't break.

 

One day I'll get out again I just feel like I need to do more to my rig.

 

why? learn to wheel what you've got, thats how you learn what you can and cant do, and youll become a better driver, wheeling a lesser built rig gives you experience that people wont have that just wheel already built stuff, plus its more of a challenge, if my grand had full lockers front and rear im sure it would walk up anything I point it at, but not having full lockers front and rear makes it more fun and tests my abillities.... if that makes sense!
plus the more you wheel it now the more you will get used to it and will notice the difference as you build and change things with the rig, which is a satisfying feeling!

 

I login then go to tech forum and it shows me not loggedin...
Wanting to post some questions and can't...
So jumped to this thread to see if any help available from you guys.
Have a mostly stock (skids, brushbar and orage top injectors added) POS 1990 XJ and really could use some help.
It has several electrical issues and the Flintstone's floor mod.
Mechanically it is good though.
Please email me as not sure forum is working correctly for me.
I'm located downtown SLC btw.
TIA for replies,

True that. Gotta learn the basics first. I went 6 years in my samurai before I put in a front locker.

And wheelin with the broken hub made me remember the fun days of open front ends lol.

 

Good point. So really I just need to get off my a$$. lol

 

Yup.

There are times I miss a more stocker rig to have fun around in.

 

Ok so this is kinda off that wall but if anyone is looking for home audio, security or anything like that I can get stuff for cheap.

 

Sup man welcome to CF & our little BS thread!!! What kinda electrical issues r u having in ur XJ?

Hey TJ I don't need any home audio stuff, but if we are on the topic has anyone ever found a 7.1 suround sound dvd or B-ray???

 

I've seen some with dvd but not b-ray. I'm sure there is one out there, but as far what I've seen no. Most of what I do is "high" end and there aren't any combo units.

 

I agree wheelin ur rig through out the build will give you a greater understanding of what it can do! Like taking it out now that you've ripped out ur rear sway to see how it flexs will give you a good understanding of the leafs to compare when u put ur lift on! Inturn making u wanna beat the crap out of those new stiff leaf packs to get that upword flex back...
I'm sure most would agree that armor (diff guards, tc skid, gas tank skid, & sliders) would be the best to start out with... Trial & error on the trail can get costly!!!

 

It gets frustrating, every time I get money saved up to buy parts something happens and it all goes away.

 

Ya the dude at RC willey said "7.1 is the next big thing", but I haven't found anything as far as 7.1... Dude seen me coming

 

Dude start out with jy parts... I got; tc skid- $10, gas tank skid- $15, & welded up my diff guard for $15 including oil & form a gasket! (I'll help ya make them)

 

I agree. Armor is the first way to go. T-case skid plate is a must. It's just like playing football without a cup.
