I am planning on it but not right now. It can happen easily though.

I would of hit him in the face with the keys and drove the bimmer away. Then sold the BMW and had 8500 for a bad *** rig to build.

This worked well. It was warm to the touch, but not lava hot like it was.

Where I live, you can't find a XJ for sale that isn't rotted through. I lucked out that mine is mint. And my daughter is coming soon so I use this one as the fam-wagon while she's here. Seriously tho, I'm starting to consider it.

Told my gf I'm starting to really think on what NGAXJING said (above). She said, "Why don't you just buy a Cherokee off craigslist and build what you want cuz you're not selling Blue!" I take this as approval and I happily accept the challenge. Gunna hit the CL ads during Bruins intermission...GO B's!!!

I have them. I get out of wok at 11 tomorrow and plan on getting this done. For some reason I decided to start in the back and ran into unexpected. The upper shackle bolt on one side was broken and I didnt even know. Then one of the front bolts seized in the sleeve and had to be cut. I never thought to buy new bolts before the lift.
