Looking back...

[grundlepunch]

i would have bought a DD other than the jeep way sooner!

and i would have definitely not wheeled that line on O trail that tweaked the jeeps body, haha

GNAH!!! im so fucking pissed at that trail! It was so sweet and i had so many lines planned and then my rear diff cover was like a and peeled up.

then i helped Adam get out in reverse in front wheel drive..... then i took the magical trip to the pick-n-pull

That trail was brutal... it ate Adams driveshaft. I think Dana might have f'ed something on that trail too.

idk i like it to this point, but i'm trying to make sure i listen to everyone else's xj woes and built it right the first time to avoid breaks, trying not to cut corners ohhh and get unibody stiffeners before i twist it, right will

honestly i dont think havin stiffeners woulda prevented it, haha...maybe made it less-so though

it was an incredibly hard fall

So many people have built the shit outta their jeeps & either barely wheeled their shit or never wheeled it. Then they disappear or part it out.

i suffered similar damage with stiffeners

all it did was make it harder to repair

or spend 2-3 years building it to ultimately part it out and buy wrx's

the key is to still make it drivable?

a lot of people are never really into wheeling

its 1 of 2 things i think

1) i bought this jeep cuz i think it looks cool, ok now what can i do to it? man im not sure i better join a club or forum and they will help me make it look cool

2) man all my friends like to go wheeling so i better get a jeep so i can fit in with my friends.

i've been wellin for 8 years now and had many "offroad friends" come and go

I've been looking at Audis

If I was going to do anything over again, it would have been to just put everything on that I bought and bought the deal I found on the locked/geared/protected rear end I found. I also wish I had just gone to 265s in the beginning and just relocated my flares.

I wouldn't have gotten into a 3/4 ton axle build

Actually, the very first order for tires I ever placed was for a set of 35x13.5 BFG Krawlers(blue label). Now that I think about it, that would have been tits. XJ44 rear, and probably would have worked on a 44 front of some kind while I beat the shit out of the 30.

The online store had the Krawlers on backorder, and it was taking too long. So being the moron I am, I called up and changed the order to 36" Iroks. Little did I know that would be the downfall of my wallet and wheeling career.
