MJ,XJ,gave up YJ,failed BDMT, back to MJ!!

MiNi Beast · Mar 28, 2008

Well, thought I start my post for the XJ build. You may know me and my MJ but had to get rid of her for the XJ. More room for the kids. But Not looking back for now. So the low down is I kept my 33x9.5 tires and the heart of MiNi Beast. my 8.8 410LSD disks, so thats going under the XJ replacing the 8.25, mounting the 1 1/2" UBE and 4.5 RE springs. Front is getting 6.5" springs with the RK 3 link LA set up. The XJ is 2wd, but already has 4wd conversion started less the tranny and tcase. Which I have a AX-15/231 combo waiting to go in after the lift.
So my very first Jeep...89' Wagoneer
Then my MJ, bought for $100 down in FL and drove back to MI...

ME:

Then the 3" lift with the 31's...

Then maybe you seen me at the 9th Annual Clean up...

Maybe afterwards...

Recognize me yet...

No? Maybe when I got pulled out three times...?

Maybe you seen me out on the trail at the Fall Colors Tour of 07'...

member?

But I did at least get her up on 33's...

But shortly got the XJ and the MJ had to go...

So sold MJ and started collecting parts for my build...
Got my clear corner lenses from K2 motor, sweetness :rock on:

MiNi Beast · Jan 29, 2010

gave up, zip screws it is. tack weld the bottom, fuck it.

MiNi Beast · Jan 29, 2010

Well floors are in in the seating area. Self tappers I used then going around and doing some stitch welding to tie in all together.

unclebeaner · Jan 29, 2010

gettin there

Freak · Jan 29, 2010

self tapping screws? Srsly? Welding a little harder than you thought? :teehee: your progres is makin sandviper look like he is drinking too much beer! :beerbang:

SANDVIPR · Jan 29, 2010

I guess I can take that as a compliment coming from you....:fish:

Seriously- final assembly will be happening next weekend!:woot:

That will just leave the brakes and driveshafts.- and 2 weeks to get those items buttoned up- should be pullin your ass off the rocks at TT in 3 weeks or so

oke:

:sonicjay::sonicjay::sonicjay:

curbdog17 · Jan 29, 2010

Looks good roger. I think you will be ready soon that I thought.
Nice work.

94rangeron35s · Jan 29, 2010

seriously zip screws? come on man weld that shit in there so its solid..

MiNi Beast · Jan 29, 2010

I am welding it, just the screws help it stay in place while I weld on it.

unclebeaner · Jan 29, 2010

pull out one screw at a time and plug weld them?

MiNi Beast · Jan 29, 2010

the idea. welding around the edges then welding the frame to the new sheet via plug welds like factory.

unclebeaner · Jan 29, 2010
