Well you can only get these in a 37 or 39, can only from BFG if they sponsor you as a racer/ big name bouncer, or buy them used. And they're a sticky, so you can't drive them on the road. Well, I guess you could and I will, but just around town once a month. They get so hot they just wear out unreasonably fast.

Make it out of colored plastic and RICERS will be all over it.

The new trailer will be receiving the axles, ramps and fenders that are on the trailer that it's riding on. After a coat of paint and cutting all the random crap off it should be a nice little trailer. I think I did OK on the trade.

Loading it on my trailer was rather interesting... Getting it off should be even more interesting.



So uh... there's not an APB out on you for armed robbery is there?

Lucky. Bastard. That is all.


brown santa paid a visit



front and rear YJ lines and a gatorback belt

now if only there was time to put it in.

Also got these in the mail:





Apparently I was the 317th person to hit "like" on Shop317's facebook page. Didn't even know what was going on. Someone sent me a page recommendation so I checked it out and hit like. Next day, I got a private message from the owner or whoever is in charge of the page asking me what my t shirt size is lol

Rotated tires. Check front brakes and checked/adjusted rear drums. Checked fluids and cleaned it up a lil. DD duty will be done this week. Kind of a bitter sweet thing. Love driving it everyday but can't really complete the build with it on the road.

Finally finished with exhaust on the YJ! Everything is new since the motor swap. Super44 sounds fine. I'm not impressed, but I didn't want it to be incredibly loud. It's very quiet up front when running, and that impressed me

hello, new to CF, been lurking for a few months. Just wanted to say thanks for the great info. I was litterally days away from crushing my 89 larado that had been sitting for 11 years. I blew the head gasket and warped the head. After 2 shops (1 being the stealership) and $3500 later, i couldnt just scrap it and was outta cash. Then life happened. New house, kids, open heart surgery..... Anyway, my bro-in-law "totalled" his 96 countrty. i said i wanted it sight unseen for the motor. when i recieved it i found out that the front fender was dented, front clip cracked, and the axle mount for the lower control mount was bent hardly any damage at all. while I waited for the insurance to do their thing, i started to lurk, figuring out what parts to swap. CRUSIER54 if i ever meet you im gonna buy you some beers! Your renix info was invaluable. $10 dollars in parts and 40 miniutes of work and the 89 is purring like a kitten. $45 for Rusty's LCA mounts and the 96 is legal again. Im the happiest **** in town thaks to you guys!

All in all, Im under $500 to get both jeeps running/puchased and registered! sorry for the long post just hella excited to wheel again!

Today I reinstalled my headliner in my 89 after duing the fiberglass resin/bedliner trick
