That USED to be one of the cleanest XJ's on the rocks. ;) :D

Looking forward to seeing the beast at "Best of the West".

I hope your planning some stiffening mods forthe rear frame sections. Cage?

definatly a cage, and time its done it will need a paint job, but I'm torn between the green it is now, and that patriot blue they are putting on some of the new ones. if I keep it green, I like the grey rocker, and I'm not sure I want to mess with that come painting time, if I go blue, its all one color.

if its done, and the wife will let me take off with or without her, I'll be there.

Nice work on the tank Brent. I'm planning that for the ZJ next season; I'm sick of not wheeling, and just want to finish the front axle swap for now.
Can you give some details on the tank work?

Wow! Can't wait to see it finished.

106.5'? Very ZJ-ish. Now just drop some coils in the rear and you'll be cool like me. (and don't give me that stability crap).]

Hopefully by next season I'll have the 8.8 and long arms done so I can try and follow you up some stuff.

what you need is a set of lockers, and less lift, and some sway bars :D
