    Might be picking up a 96 4dr jeep xj from Waco. 33 super swampers and 4.5 lift. it has the go doorless mods but if i just take the front 2 off will the frame still twist when i flex? i really only ask cause you have a 4dr. will be taking it to hiddenfalls for some mild stuff to get a feel for what it can
    CJ or Jeff wanna chime in?

    I think the uni-body will twist with all the doors on. I don't think taking the doors off is going to help much. The doors only contact at the 2 front hinges and at the point where it latches in the back.

    Freebird chicken is the cause of the only time I ever took a dump in rynos bathroom at the dexter house. That has to have some effect on my life expectancy

    Why would you get chicken at freebirds? You's gay?

    Melanie's family spanks it to Bush's. It's chicken.

    I ordered the yokes to convert to 1310 flange driveshafts. Should be here mid week. Jeep will get atlas installed with new driveshafts and new Artec cross member that has link mounts built in for future 60 install. Work on this rig is going to be slow with oil being so damn cheap right now. The rear axle build is going decent. I have done some shaving on it. I plan to order locker, gears and shafts for it by then end of the year. I'm going 40 spline on it. Over kill but I won't have to worry about it. Right now I just want to get the atlas in before Clayton. I don't know if I'm going for sure or not but if I do I want to take this jeep.

    I got the tom woods drive-shafts for cheap. It will work fine for now with the little tires. When I swap axles I'll go 1350.

    Last summer I pulled the carpet out of the jeep. Heat coming in through the floor was terrible so I put it back in. I have a mouse problem and the jeep smells terrible. I want to pull the carpet back out. It gets wet whenever it rains with the top and doors on because of the half doors. What is the best way to knock that heat out? Will bed-liner keep the heat from coming through? Or bed-liner plus floor mats. My other jeeps don't have carpet but they don't get so damn much heat out of the floor either.

    What about adding a heat shield between the exhaust and the floor board? or using the heat wrap on the exhaust?

    beat the crap out of the JK this weekend at Canyons. I had fun running a little rig but the crazy long 116" wheelbase with 32" tires resulted in some to be expected carnage. All the skids underneath are beat to hell. Pass side rocker looks almost boatsideed already. Driver rocker has a smaller dent. Rear license plate mount broken as well as banged up rear bumper. The box tubing front bumper even got smashed up from winching out of a drop in with the weight of the jeep all on it. I also cut two tires. One is big enough to put fist in sidewall. The other is like two fingers but still too big to plug. I had fun but it is time to do some upgrades.
