Cracked the unibody around the steering box. Going to bandaid it back together this weekend and hope it makes it until august.

That'll make you hate an XJ even if you like them. That frame area is likely pretty destroyed when you get to fixing it

Definitely not getting any love from the Jeep right now. Cracked the flywheel on my trip to Yellowstone a few days ago. If I had all my tools here, I'd do it myself. But I get to pay certified trans 600 to do it. I posted the Jeep on craigslist up here for an absurd amount of money. I'll fix the flywheel and take it easy with the front and hopefully sell it. If I can't get what I want out of it, I'll hold onto it and plate the unibody when I get back to Utah. I want to get a Tacoma and keep it clean and mildly mod it, kind of like Steve's.

Well I sold my Jeep. It was a good journey but needed to get out of the crawling scene for awhile. Maybe once I finish school I'll get something.

Picking up a Cherokee for 400 bucks next week, haven't decided if I am going to build it or not. Definitely going through withdrawals but it is nice to not have a rock crawler as a daily.

Yeah, I've made that mistake. Cherokee #17 (not kidding) is currently sitting in my garage needing a tranny and a host of other things.

You had a lot of fun in that Jeep.

Definitely was a blast!
This is xj #3 so we'll see how it turns out. I think I am going to try and fix it and sell it. But if I end up having it for more than a month, I'll more than likely keep it and build it slow.
