XJ in the tri cities

Postby Ace_Cherokee » Wed Mar 07, 2012 8:17 am

After 1200+ miles, three stops to fix the alternator and three stops to fix the cross member, I finaly have my Cheromanche in town! I will try to post pictures in a reply, but lets just say some redneck engineering went into getting this vehicle up here. For now I say "Thank God for 550 cord!"

It kept me awake that is for sure!
Working on your rig is like a really great date: you start out expecting it to be something simple and straightforward; four hours later you're laying under her, panting and cursing, and things are a lot more complicated than you ever wanted.

That's the best ad for para-cord I've ever seen.
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

Is that long stringing thing under your rig a trud or an exhaust pipe?
