    xj-8???

    I figured someone must have talked about these before. How funny that even the Jeep dealer didn't know what to call it. I did find JK-8's on line. It is just a conversion kit from mopar for $5400. I'm kindof offended that they put the "8" on it but use a wrangler to build. Its like they...

    No... its not a jeep you would have seen. I have tried to get the previous owner to join us on the forum and at silver lake. He is a bit of an oddball so... He was the guy I sold the world cab and doors to. I think he still has a scrambler tho, i will check he's only 3 miles away. Also, new...

    She hit me...

    "Sorry to hear of the accident. Is the frame itself shifted or just the front axle?" She caught the backside of the bumber and it broke at the hole where it attatches to the frame, so i THINK the frame is ok. I have to check with the adjuster about making sure it, and the axle, are ok. ON...
