I say we cut it just like that one too!!!!!!!!!! I got the sawzall you get the blades..

whats up new here }:( wish i new somebody like geoff :eyeroll: seems like a cool guy wish i had somebody to help me work on my ride

Update...
Cleaned out the garage and put the M101 trailer into a storage unit, got the roof rack off and got her into the garage.

Got the "rock sliders" :eyeroll: off.
The tranny & TC are out, replaced the rear main seal (THAT was a huge pain) The only thing left to do is turn the flywheel and buy a new clutch (2weeks out)

The long arm mounts are on the subframe, bolted & welded all I need to do is install them.
After seeing how well Alan's sliders held up I went that route & bought some from AJ, so I have those to install as well.

Ill get some pictures up with in the next few days :clap:

Sweet glad to here about you adventure into the rebuild. But we need PICS NOW not later. GLAD to see you again scooby

pics or ban. }:)

ok ok ok ok.....












Not much to look at but its a SLOW work in progress

COOL! I like progress, even if it's slow. Thanks buddy.

I'm also really glad I didn't have to ban you. }:)

got a little done tonight...
got both lower control arms off

Coolio, man.

I was re-reading the thread and the paint options... I'm thinking I'm eventually headed toward black rally stripes. Don't ask me why, I just feel it coming.

Got home & got to work on the XJ...

Cut off the old mounts and finished removing the old lift.
Installed the springs, and arms.
Need to do the brake lines tmro.

Well today was semi productive...

Thanks to Alan for the the phone support (needed to know how his trac bar was mounted)
So got the trac bar mounted, Brake lines & shocks installed.
Then made sure everything was torqued & lock tighted.
Only thing really left is a new clutch & then the sliders & some other misc parts that Ill get from the junk yard in the next few days.

Good deal Paul.
Glad the progress is moving well :cool)

Way cool!

Well the lift is done, tires are on but looks LOW in the front (sporting the stink bug look) :eyeroll:

So might toss in the old spacers to level off the front.
Tranny output shaft seal came in today so once thats changed out I can put the TC onto the trans.
Still have the flywheel to turn & need to buy a clutch too, then sliders.

Also Dan Simpson from CCV asked me if they could use my XJ on an EDGE EVENT 8|
He needs an anchor point for a part of the challenge, so hope Im able to get done and help! :rockon:

Thanks for the update, Paul!

SISSY. SHOULD'VE PUT THE SPACERS ON LAST NIGHT LIKE I SAID! LOL
