I guess this is where I start, huh? I'm new to the site.....Here's a pic of my '03 TJ. Currently sitting on 37" Creepy Crawlers, D44s front and rear, 14" ORIs, and stretched to 103" wheelbase. I'm in the process of building a 60/14 bolt combo, and the idea is to run 39" Reds.

Spa City!!! Love that park!!

No, I live in the OKC area. But I love that park. We were there in October, and we're going back in March.

Nice Jeep! Red and black are the best colors! ;D

Just moved from Mass to FLA. Looks like I'm gonna be a Southern guy now... Anyway, here's my crap can in it's slightly less bruised form. M&M Chassis #21, HEMI 5.7, 14 Bolt/Ford 60, ORI's all around, and Stickies.

MoparMan · Feb 14, 2016

Welcome to the South! Sweet looking rig, good choice on the HEMI! :dblthumb:

FlatlandFSJ · Feb 14, 2016

Love those M&M builds. Welcome to the state with no mountains, where in FL did ya end up?

Marc72 · Feb 15, 2016

Thanks... We landed dab smack between Orlando and the east coast. We look at it this way, 8 hours to TN is still way better than the 19 used to be. At least we can do it in a day now.

Sorry ZJtrey but I don't have. I bought the buggy. There is a good build tread on Pirate. Look up Ground Control Racing Cadillac Buggy and you can find it.

have you got a build thread on this beast? I just built a transaxle buggy but I couldn't find enough information to make me comfortable with using a northstar.. kinda wanted a V8 but i went with a 3800SC/4t65e

Hopefully you can see it in action this year at the farm :cougar:

Cool Comanche. I really dig the full size tools box for storage. The rig looks clean, I bet you could hurt some feelings in it.

I overlooked the intro's lol. I'm from Dawsonville, GA. My rig is a paid for 08 JK 2DR that is currently going through a 1ton swap.

97 D60 4.10 front
03 Sierra 14bolt 4.11 rear

Getting ready to set it on 37" Mastercrafts for the time being since this thing called responsibilities and budget seem to get in the way.

Great site here, I've been lurking around for years so I figured it was time I posted up. I'm from WV and my rig is what's left of a 1985 Jeep XJ that I call Chief. Converted over to a HO 4.0 and AW4 cause the factory 2.8 wasn't an option. Hung a narrowed F250 Dana 44 loaded with a Detroit 488's and RCV's. 8.8 in the rear with a spartan and Moly shafts. Custom 3 Link up front with Barnes Enduro Joints and inverted factory springs out back with longer relocated shackles. Rims are Ultra X103's aluminum beadlocks with cut 39.5 TSL's. It has an AGR RockRam hydro assist, the frame is plated, it's boatsided and stretched to 109 inches. More stuff but it's really just a cut up half ton rig.

TurboStart Denver · Apr 26, 2016

Well I haven't been in the woods in about 3yrs! Between work, family, and broken XJ it just hasn't been possible. Well finally work actually wants me to go, the family is old enough, and the XJ is back together. Its the average setup, 8.8 welded rear, lock 30 front, 4.5 lift, and stroked 4.0 and of course a TurboStart AGM battery. I live in the Oliver Springs area so when ever you guys are in the Windrock area hit me up.

Dam dude that **** looks good!!! Gotta buddy that has a red XJ. recently found out he was gay and a cop so I ain't messing with him no more. Ain't that right will?
But that's a really sweet rid man !!

Red97 · Jun 12, 2016

Been lurking for quite a while, figured it was time to join an participate.

Picked this rig up a year ago
Suzuki sidekick, 1.6 8v, 3 sp auto, 4.24 tcase gears 5.13 axle gears 35" baja claws. Front axle is a tracker 3rd with chromoly samurai shafts.

Nothing special, but has been reliable as a hammer.

xj_dalton · Sep 8, 2016

Hey guys, I'm Dalton. Now that we've got that out of the way, I drive a 2dr xj with a crappy 3" lift(previous owner), a holey exhaust, and a man pedal. A buddy of mine turned me on to this page since I'm a local
(Anniston, AL) so hopefully it is as good as he says. Don't let me down.

ForMud · Nov 7, 2016

I guess I should post up here first.....Not much compared to some of the rigs on here... Whats left of a 86 Chevy PU, 350 on propane, TH-350, 203/205
HD70 rear welded, 60 front locker, both 5.86, linked rear with 16" struts, unknown front leafs.
44" x 15" Bogger on Stockton beadlocks
1-3/4" DOM cage, full hydro steering.
112" wheel base, 72" height, 20" belly.
Future plans are linking the front end, remaking the font frame and fenders...As soon as $ permits.

Sorry for the shitty driveway picts, but I never seem to take any of it in action.
