It's indoor outdoor carpet from lowes. It's was only 50 cents a sq ft. I got a 12x6 ft sheet of it. I've always used it for floor mats in all of my cars. It nice because it dries out quick and doesn't ever look dirty.

Very nice! We've got the same rims, the same color, and the same height lift! Kinda funny.

Mine is a Maroon 2 door, not 4. And I just got rid of almost all of the maroon paint, went semi gloss black and kept the factory maroon in the form of racing stripes.

What 3" did you go with?

I have Rough Country 3' springs, an AAL in the back, and stock shocks. It was all free, so i'm waiting till i bust the shocks and the springs sag till i replace anything else on the suspension for now.

I have to replace the front pass U-joint this week, and redrill the stock trac bar. Also the oil filter housing is leaking so i need to replace the o-rings in it this week.

Lifted XJ214 sorry to here about that.
The SRT 4 my baby. Just pre-waxed, polished, and waxed her today. Now back under the car cover, and in the corner of the garage she goes, so i can work on the XJ.

Clean car!

I'm a DSM guru, had a 93 GSX that ran 11.03 in the quarter @ 135 mph. Have you done any work to the car?

My bro is a die har DSMer. He's had so many of them. I love those cars, but I'm a die hard Pentstar person. I have a 50 trim SBR turbo,Tial WG & BOV, SBR BFMIC, Lowered 1", and a huge list of other goodies. I just got a new motor put in it last year due to a spun rod bearing. I dyno'd it with the new motor at 364hp/394tq. It's a fun little toy.

Sweet. I had a TRUE Mitsu "big" 16g, and was running that thing to its max. Was pushing 31-ish psi, depending on ambient temps. HUGE injectors, 3'x2'x3" intercooler that was custom made, ACT2600lb race clutch, o2 bypass, 2g throttle elbow, 1mm oversize valves, 272 cams, cam gears, kevlar timing belt, and a bunch of other crap I always forget.

I was pushing over 500 HP at the wheels, and I pissed it all away cuz I was stupid.

Someday I'll get back into the DSM world, I want a chance to play with DSMlink. My car would have been SOOOO much better if I'd had more time, tons more money, and the chance to play with some good tuning goodies.

Ouch, what happened? I hope you're ok. I'm sorry to see that you totalled it. I couldn't imagine how I'd feel if I totalled mine.

Well I relocated the trac bar. But now I have a big problem. My pass front wheel has some major positive camber issues. I'm wearing out the outside out the tire with only about 500 miles on it. Now my question is....What are some things that i sould do to fix it?

I know that the U-joint is bad, and I will replace it tomm. I have read a about a lot of people having problem with negative camber, but it seems few have a problem with poisive camber issues.

List of what to check so far:
-U-joint replacement
-wheel bearing replacement
-check-Ball joints

What am i missing that could be causing this? You can see it in this cell phone pic. It's that bad!
