Welcome aboard Nick! Frank summed it up real nice, you won't find a nicer group of people. Or more helpful. And thank you for your service to our great country

Welcome aboard! You're gonna like it here

I was thinking about joining the wrench fest until I read that you were looking for "good members" lol. Seriously not sure if I can make it but if I can I will be there. Sounds like a fun time. It's the most fun you can have with your clothes on. I mean, besides wheelin. And drinking :obs...

glad your rig is back in one piece Dan. Just in time for me to roll my project in

You guys rock but I might need to reschedule. Something came up and I'm not sure I'll be around that day. Or have time to get the parts. I'll let you know, soon as I can

You guys rock. On the NAPA site now, filling up my cart. Going with the regular (not performance) stuff - disc, pressure plate, release bearing, misc pieces and oh yeah a master cylinder. Also looking at a flywheel, they have two options and don't specify what they fit - 148 teeth and 164 teeth, 9 5...

oh what the............. :shock: ............ how long was I gone for??? apparently long enough for John to find and rebuild another XJ! Congrats on the find, she looks great and she obviously needs to be 100% for your daughter. *If I ever get off my lazy azz and back in the saddle, I'll be cranking...

Your other potential gotcha could be the flywheel if the surface has seen better days. Look into getting a new one or finding a used one and having it surfaced. I might still have one that'll fit your rig that just needs to be surfaced. Tx John. Been awhile since I checked in, been a busy month :) ...

Thanks guys and Kurt I'm not sure what else to say but thank you. Again. Hadn't thought about the master and fluids, good stuff, I'm taking notes. My plan is to do it once, and do it right. Gonna start ordering and collecting parts and fluids and whatever else I might need. If anyone thinks of other...

I'm not in a hurry but I need to replace my clutch and I'm looking for some help. My rig is driveable but the clutch can't take much more abuse and I don't want to be 'that guy' when we're out on a run Far as I know it's factory original, with ~144k on her. Planning on replacing / rebuilding the sla...

One bad-azz build you got there John

Welcome aboard! You're really gonna like it here

You mean lowers? Or you already have adj lowers? I set my angle with the lowers but I'll let smarter people weigh in on the best way to do it. I still have adj uppers to put in. Maybe I'll do that after I weld the two pieces of the front lower back together

Wow. Really amazing what you did so far

Well the only ujoints left are front axle shafts. I have replaced the drivers side ujoint recently and didn't feel anything wrong when I removed the hub assembly. Perhaps I should pull the passengers side and check it even though there is no play. I haven't replaced that one. Maybe the sound is tra...
