Project "Nothin Fancy YJ" Cage

Russ - Hey buddy! Been a while! This is Mac...I'm Sam's brother. Some how, we ended up sharing the same screen name a lot of the time. We'd love to hook up and go wheeling sometime soon with you. I remember seeing the orange Rubi the week you bought it, and it looked SICK. We're planning a shake down run for Brandon and the "nothin fancy" YJ on Nov. 13th, and you're welcome to go. I'll keep you updated, or just drop me a PM if interested. Thanks for the props!!
 
Here is the shop mascot. Needs some more training but someday she will be a good dog. :D

It is! My name is Mac (the guy with the Green XJ), but my younger brother's name is Sam. He needs to get his own screen name, as he often uses mine to reply, and it get's confusing. I'm not sure where we are heading on the 13th yet...It was going to be Crackers Neck, but since it's closed, I'm not sure.
The Rubi sounds like it's coming along quite nicely!! Looking forward to seeing it.
 
The 13th

It does suck about C.Neck but there is a cool new trail at Callalente you might want to try. It got a little hairy for me and my 6 month old shiny rig but you might get through it allright. I'd like to see that XJ in action again. The guys I went with just called it the creek bed so I don't know if it has a trail name yet or what but the owner can show us exactly how to get there again if we go. By the way, that cage is sick and I want the same thing. Take it easy.
 
sams screenname should be "chunk" We need to get up and go ride someplace in early dec. The Buggy is going to get some...."attention as soon as we get back from Harlan. later, dave
 
Haha!! "Chunk" is perfect Dave!! :laughing: Sam loves it too! He's working on an alternative for you as well ;) Looking forward as always to riding with you losers. Got some decent damage on the XJ now, so it's awn.
Russ - Callalente sounds awesome for the 13th. A few buddies were telling me about that new trail out there...Thanks for the props on the cage.
 
Awsome job on the cage guys! Quick question for ya, What kind of bender do you have? Getting ready to pull the trigger on one and just curious what you had and how you like it.

Thanks man! It's a ProTools 105HD Bender. I really like it. Bends good, and got a pretty good price on it from one of the vendors on Pirate. Let me know if you have any questions...

looks good, you gonna run any fenders on it?

No plans at this time to run any fenders at all. It will most likely get a rad. hoop, and a tube along the bottom of the hood line.

Cannot complain....have a new "project" to mess with.

Your shop keeps turing out some fine work....maybe I can afford some one day!! LOL

Doc
 
Yes

Hey- this is Mac's friend Brandon- we are going to Caliente this weekend. We are meeting on Hwy 421 at Valley Grocery/gas station on Sunday morning at 10am after the early church service. This gas station is west of Boone on 421, about six miles before the Tennessee line. It has a big Blue awning on the front. Come on out if you want! You can email us- carolinajeep@hotmail.com if you need better directions.

Well here is a little update....got the traction bar built and shocks mounted and steering on so it is pretty much done and went back with Brandon last night. We will go wheeling on sunday to see how it all works.

Here is a shot of the traction bar and mount. We believe this mount should hold up but i guess time will tell.
