Post by: Mitch on January 14, 2007, 01:05:29 AM: sucks to see ya on your side, but for some reason I am thinking your XJ will come out even better now because of it.

On another note, it looks like you finally have a new picture for the members section ;)

Post by: ayoung on January 14, 2007, 01:10:19 AM: how did you manage to flop it right there?
Title: Re: It finally happened!
Post by: dsgray16 on January 14, 2007, 02:27:06 AM: thats a very good question

the trail takes a sharp turn to the right there and drops off at the same time, it drops off by like 3 feet all the way to the right, and not at all all the way left....i stayed to far right i guess

what it really came down to was that i wasnt paying close enough attention ::)

Title: Re: It finally happened!
Post by: SPYDER on January 14, 2007, 10:48:36 AM: im surprised it took you so long. mine went over a couple weeks ago...sadly nobody was there to see it nor did i get any pics....and i can't even prove it cause there is no damge...damn mud

is that the last hill?? that section of trail doesn't look familiar for some reason.

Post by: Krome on January 14, 2007, 12:54:25 PM: i found attending nej events helps you remember what the trail looks like, i remember what it looks like and i dont even wheel much!

have a nice day:)!
Title: Re: It finally happened!
Post by: SPYDER on January 14, 2007, 02:19:39 PM: if events were on a day i had off i would attend them, hence why i wheel more not with the club but with my close friends....i come to events when my jeep is drivable and im not working.

my sister who was riding shotgun obviously saw it...i went to her side.

I never noticed that he trimmed that far. did you weld the sheet metal back together?
Title: Re: It finally happened!
Post by: heapxj on January 18, 2007, 05:41:57 PM: I trimmed to 1/4" of the door, then traced that line around to the back to make it symetrical. I had to cut the wheel well in half and move it back 4". The floor had to be cut to do so. Then I welded everything back and covered it with rtv for good measure. Yesterday I sanded the Rtv off the body , painted and put a strip of Protckto Trim around the well to match the front. Here's a bit of the passenger side http://mrmontez2000.proboards70.com/index.cgi?board=create&action=display&thread=1166880000

Post by: ayoung on January 18, 2007, 06:23:37 PM: wow that looks like a ton of work. did you have rubbing issues up in the wheel well? my issue has only ever been with the actual fender lip.

came out nice though
Title: Re: It finally happened!
Post by: heapxj on January 19, 2007, 01:45:59 AM: Thanks guys. Yeah the tires were rubbing. The axle is moved 1" back and the tires are 36's, so something had to give.
