xj's gonna get a makeover

It always takes longer than you think with second hand parts. Everyone puts their own little mark on everything.

you got that right! I dont mind, my schedule is just weird so I have to time how I do things. I think all said and done it should work well though.
here are the arms. as far as I can tell they are ballistic fab ends on the x-member side. they have threaded collars, look like them anyway.

Named "is it 7:13 yet?"

Rig looks sick dude.

[ct67_72]

thanks man, pretty happy with how its turning out. I got a tom woods shaft from a friend with a broken joint on the double cardan side. never messed with one. but I got it fixed with parts from a spare front shaft and installed in the rear to go with my new SYE.
Gears are in the mail, HP 30 is in the garage with the longarms. so get that stuff done and it should be a pretty stout rig. cant wait to wheel it again.
Really looking forward to Mabell

Ill be around tomorrow swapping gears/maybe axles if I have time if anyone is in the meriden area and wants to stop by.

[ct67_72]

Nice dude, I like the angry eyes!

[ct67_72]

Thanks guys. yeah kind of turned into more of a build. I was thinking the same. I go through wallingford to get to work. Down 150. usually around noon time.
I really like the angry eyes. I was skeptical on painting the grille black. I liked the body color but I think it looks awesome.
