Phat95YJ · 01-01-2012, 08:35 PM

Looks good! Keep up the good work

offroadmeg · 01-07-2012, 10:23 PM

Hi honey. When will it be done? This year? What about my new one? How are you going to put the doors on? There is no way it will be all done this year. How are you going to put all the carpet back. Is it going to have an air locker like yours? Is it gonna have a switch?

blowintwins80 · 01-07-2012, 10:57 PM

It will be like my s10 Meg about 8 years

Well I got brand new calipers and am gonna run everything pretty much stock. Hopefully I won't have problems, but only time will tell. My Chevy 60 on my cj7 has not had any problems and it seems to be more less the same setup.

Hey buddy thanks for the beer and letting me copy those knuckle plats.. The CJ look bad ass and the xj is coming together
