Good deal man. I love mine, especially for getting into the back of the bed. When I get back the end of Jan, I gotta catch up with you. Got a job for the Army in N Florida.

We'll keep in touch and
Not only for that, for people slamming their doors into your truck...
The other day I was at the mall shopping for Christmas gifts l...me and another car pull in parking spots right next to each other and she opens her door into my passenger side door! I was sooo heated! Thank god the xj still had the door moldings but still, I kind of wished I had the sliders so she can really think about what she did to her car while I have peice of mind of mine...

They're great for that. I've already had a few people do that then scream "You dented my door!" Or "You damaged my paint!" No, you're the dumb one for not looking where you're going or what you're doing. Hell, I had a guy on a bicycle run into my truck and complain that the bumper is dangerous because it didn't dent. Uh....that's kinda the point dumbass. Lol

Default It's almost 2017!!!

So about a year ago I had an accident in the XJ and well as you can tell the the roof took some damage which I straightened out with a winch on the A pillars. But it's still not perfect I'm thinking about getting a donor XJ just for the body. Because I'm really going to build a Nice rig here with JK 44 axle swaps, RCV Shafts, 37's with a long arm kit tire carrier basically like the JCR build. (Not a copy cat) just love all that went into it. I want this thing to be BAD ***. Yes yes I know it's costs a boat load of money to do what I want to do, and it will take time but, that's the nature of a project and can work. no? Dad and I are planning on installing a Lift at his farm sometime early 2017.

my main issue with the roof damage is that the doors never lines up right again, there's this annoying wind noise, and obviously water leaks.

OR I was also maybe thinking of Chopping the roof off of a junkyard one and welding in place?

Anywho I have no idea. But some insights would be nice, I have many plans for her since I acquired her again. And I don't plan on ever getting rid of it. It's all positive vibes from here.

I'd look for a TJ Rubicon D44 its a lot stronger than the JK "D44" which is weaker than the D30.

really? I was planning on JK Rubicon axles. Everywhere I have looked everyone says they are stronger. Anything is better than the low pinion D 30 I have in the front right now

Thanks it was pretty easy fabbing them up. I did my own quarter armor since the OrFab bumper leaves few options and am quite pleased with the result
