New From Ft. Irwin

[XJ Fanatic]

Hey all New here. I just recently got stationed out at Ft Irwin in the Army. I've been wheeling 8 Years now almost 9. Now that I'm out in Cali I figured I may as well hit up some of the local trails. I've got 2 rigs only one of which is out here right now, the other I am waiting till I get married to drag here from PA.

I'd be more than willing to play cameraman or spotter if someone ever has an open seat. Until I get the lift on the WJ

Anyway My name is Brian, I'm a jeep addict here are my rigs:




02 WJ Overland
4.7HO, 545rfe, np247
d30/d44a 3.73 gears varilocs
Full skid package
Upcountry springs
Heated leather and suede seats, wheelin' in style

It will be lifted 4" by xmas, and should have 33's the beginning of next year

Its my dd/tow rig/current wheeler as its out here. I'm not afraid of body damage and will take it on 31s where it probably shouldn't be

Another rig = another post






1994 XJ
4.5l stroker, AW4, d300 flipped
d44/8.8 4.10's spooled
Hydro Assist
Flat belly skid
A bunch of tube
Leaves front and rear

In need of a d60/14bff with 5.13s and 40-42" tires

Does your XJ have a frame?

[COLOR="Sienna"]Hey neighbor to the north. Nice lookin rigs! Calico and Stoddard Valley are right at your doorstep! Probably see you out there some time.[/COLOR]

Nope, Was chopped in half right behind the drivers seat. Unibody rails and all. We grafted a plate to the unibody stiffeners (which is tied into the cage) and added a 2x4 "frame rails" to the lines of the unibody rails.


The plan was to keep it the same so the suspension didnt change, which worked except its so light the 3" rear springs give me about 7" of lift. So stock up country packs will eventually take their place.

Thanks man! Got any pics of your rig? I know where Stoddard is but where is Calico? You mean by the ghost town? I'd love to get out an explore those areas but I never wheel alone, especially in unfamiliar terrain. If you hit it up anytime let me know I'll go beat up the wj some.

Also anyone know of any yards that have wj's sitting in them I need a new trans xmember

Nice did you jack the roof back up and wheel the next day until your tcase snapped in half?

Nope not that hardcore, did jack the roof out and ran a plexi windsheild for a bit though. Then swapped everything into the current body. that took about 3 months of after work/ weekends, and a lot of beer!
