Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 08-01-2014
Ripped a sidewall on a nasty, jagged rock. Ended my day way too early. However, I think I found another one.

My biggest fear.
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 08-04-2014
Yeah, it sucks. I said screw it and replaced it with an el cheapo I had. They don't make the style Pro Comp I have anymore, so they are getting hard to find...
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 08-05-2014
I gave up looking for another Pro Comp so I just mounted this like-new el cheapo. Fawk it. I'll run it. Mismatched tires are cool.

And bought this sweet sticker I had to have...

Hey look, I wheeled this POS again. Nothing hardcore, just some BBPG outside of Harrisonburg.

On the way home, pulled up at a stop light in front of one of the frat houses, the one near the old 7/11. Some frat bro on the porch yelled "GET NEW DOORS DUDE?!?!?!?" I lawled.

Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - Senor_Taylor - 09-03-2014
I need to wheel some time...

Yeah, that'd be cool. Cooler than the pavement pounding it does now.....
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - Senor_Taylor - 09-03-2014
The pavement makes her feel safe.
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 09-04-2014
We can fix that...
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - Senor_Taylor - 09-04-2014
If you go anywhere that won't tear the shit out of my truck, I'll tag along.
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - *insertusernamehere* - 09-04-2014
Lol Taylor you're basically saying "I wanna race but i don't wanna go fast" I feel like you should want your truck to get somewhat damaged if you're into this
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - Senor_Taylor - 09-04-2014
Just not true. Colton can vouch for me. You can only afford to do crazy trails if you have some OTHER form of transportation. You don't know because you don't do it.
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 09-04-2014
Well, I've had 2 Jeeps now that I've DD'ed/ wheeled. The second one was wheeled a little harder (blacks at Crozet). They received a little body damage here and there. They were both my ONLY source of transportation, but luckily my parents and my brother had an extra vehicle if I needed it. Yes, I've had to use one before
. My current XJ gets beat like it owes me money, but if I had to, I could DD it. And 98% of the time I could beat the shit out of it and it drives (almost) like a Caddy on the way home. Of course, it cost a lot of money to get it that way. In Taylor's case, I understand. He's away from home, it's his only ride, and he can't afford for it to be down. Other than body damage, it could be detrimental if he was to destroy something off road. But you can still wheel it. Round up spare parts, and the mods you do to your truck need to be ones that make the biggest difference. Example, skip the offroad lights and get a winch or bumpers/skids. And remember, body damage never hurt anyone. Chicks dig body damage.
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - Senor_Taylor - 09-04-2014
Yeah. We've talked about this. Once I get my suspension squared away, armor is first and foremost.

I know, just restating. If you let me drive I'll show you how capable your truck is.... :lol:
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - Senor_Taylor - 09-05-2014
I know how capable it is. I'm just not willing to tackle the insane stuff and knock a hole in my transfer case. I still haven't wheeled enough to be bored of shoe creek and GWNF
Re: My Dumb 99' XJ Low Rider - ibjeepin95 - 10-06-2014
So I got a new phone. Ditched the iPhone and got the Galaxy S5. Much better. So I'll update more often since I have a good phone that can take pictures. Yes I have a digi camera, but who uses those anymore? First, I'm getting ready for some more wheeling this fall. Got a CB antenna mounted up. We'll see how long it last in that location....

I got a Warn M8000 for a smokin' deal back in July at All Breeds Jeep Show. $260 for a winch that was used very seldom and was inside 95% of the time. Got it mounted in my ORS bumper and used a sweet switch panel 98GOLDTJ made for me. Has an in-cab winch controller. I'll get some pics of that later. Anyway, the control box is a temporary mount. I'll recess it into the grille later.

Will do. Doing Shoe Creek to get my dad out in his new Jeep. And it's not keyed. I 1/2" wrenched it while someone else was turning a few wrenches on my Jeep lol
