05 Flame Red TJ Build

Yeah, I think it's a whole enchilada deal. So, what's another $1600?I need to go set up a GoFundMe account.
Woe is me. My whole Jeep project has slowed down considerably. I've poured $8,000 of my hard earned money into it and now I can't finish it! Have you ever had that feeling of not being able to finish something? I'm starting to feel estranged from my Jeep community, especially those who already had a tummy tuck. Those who had breast enlargements look at me like I'm an alien. I'm starting down the road to depression and can't afford the medicine for that either. A quick fix would be to GoFundMe so I can just get the Jeep finished. Any help appreciated. Signed, Fat Belly Jeep Club Member

No photos. I heard its a 2 door bought from a neighbor or friend for cheap.
If an XJ is bought without pictures online, does said XJ truly exist?
I guess if one can buy a JK and not tell of it then others can surely buy a XJ and not speak of it.
OP
That XJ is still coming...Now the guy is giving it to me. I think I’m planning a 3” Zone, ZJ tie rod upgrade, adjustable trackbar and 31x10.5’s for my daughter. I’ll repaint the front bumper, clean up the frame, rubbing compound the whole thing and see what happens
On other fronts. Full on move is underway. Drinking my last beer from Moab tonight while unloading the TJ’s trailer. No worries, in 10 days I’ll be back in Moab for a day. If I can de-trailer the TJ I’ll hit Hell’s for a few hours. This time with video.
So long to my last but not least Moab beer (actually brewed in Mormon SL City).
If you’re reading this it’s because you’re cool and share the same damning affliction of Jeep madness. A toast to TX and a BIG hello to WA. Let’s wheel the world!

Went to Moab yesterday and visited Arches today. Jeep was on trailer. Didn’t stay long enough to take it off. Brief overnight visit. Town was quiet.
OP
I should pull in Sunday around lunch. I’m about ready to be there. We came up through Durango and in the AM we MTB’ed. We didn’t have any of our gear, just the bikes, so we had no helmets, no gloves and we had to change out the clipless for flattie pedals and ride cautious. Views were incredible. I ate it on Star Wars and dislocated my left pinkie, bent my front rim. It was literally sticking off at a 45* angle. I put it back immediately and we trudged on. It’s pretty swollen today!
In the afternoon we white water rafted and headed out for Moab.
Durango is very cool...
OP
We’ve been in our new home in our new PNW environment for two months. Jeep got an O2 sensor in bank 2/2, a 2’ Firestik, and a beat to hell LCA is up next.
Driving a lot less. 1,000 miles in 2 months, so it includes all the trips to Home Depot. Looking forward to slowing down on both vehicles mileage.

I'm only on page 34, but loving this thread. Reads so well.
Also making me rethink too many things....

WELL. I finally made it to my own post from halfway thru. It was like a good book I couldn't put down, first I was doubting choices I made, then I was glad I made them haha.
Welcome to Washington!!
