I've been lurking here for a while. Never actually introduced myself. My name is Tim. I've been into wheelin since I got my first XJ and tossed some 31's on it. It wasn't long after that that the rig morphed into a leaf-sprung, full width, stretch wheelbase, chop top beast that it became. It had a 383 and a ton of mods. Was my first build and kinda hacked, but it held together and wheeled great. I've had a few XJs since. Currently I built an XJ for the wife. 93, 4.5" rustys spring lift, rubicon express drop brackets, currie & rubicon control arms, Round headlights (oh yeah, i said it), and 33x12.5s on black street locks. You might've seen it, bright red and it has the american flag mural in the back. I have an 8.8 in the back yard and an Auburn Ected locker in the garage going into it. Also just put on the Daystar front bumper and have some sliders waiting in line.
I sold MY last xj because the commute to work was getting expensive. I now drive a honda but only until my other toy is done. It is a 73 Toyota FJ-40 that has been in the works for around 5 years now. Almost done. A LOT of work in this one. Here's a link to a build thread on it.
http://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/187533-about-time-i-did-buildup-thread.html We are actually getting ready to move to CO after the first of the year. I'm going out there to get my engineering degree from UCCS. Well, that and stretch the legs of the 40 and XJ. Right now I work at Sportsland in Rogersville... Woo hoo... kinda burnt out on it, boss wont let us do too much fun stuff. Mainly camper shells, nerf bars, bug shields, blah, blah, blah. I do come across soome pretty good deals now and then being in the industry. Usually try to throw em up on here first. Don't want you guys to think I'm just some ass peddling goods on your site.
I've tried to make it to a meet & greet a few times but something always comes up. Maybe sometime before I leave. Thats about it for now. There are a few pics of the XJ' on Myspace.
