Is it me, or has someone else noticed the "lack" of posts lately? I know you XJ buffs have something on your agendas? Here are some proposed posts for you all to take and run with:

1) Anyone fabed TJ flares onto their cherokee? If so, post your findings.

2) Anyone know of anyone who can convert the Chrysler 8.25 to a full floater? C-clips suck!

3) Rear/front shock conversions, let's here how YOU did it.

4) Custom fabrications- ingenuity is nothing more than a lightning bolt away. Show us what you have created.

5) Suspension tricks- how to get more out of your ride

I could go on, but I feel my point was made. I came to this site a while back and found it chalk full of informative information. It seems many of us are not sharing the wealth these days. If anyone in the Phoenix area wishes to get dirty, on 5 May I am putting "pumps" on my XJ! Skyjacker, 8" of elevation, a woody from hell, and enough :beer: to make myself and others happy! The fun part will be after the lift, waiting for my new Tom Wood shafts :( There is a God......

Well I got a custom front bumper in the works for next month, homemade rock rails and rear axle shock mount relocation for next couple of weeks. New exhaust scheduled for June. EZ-lokcer in July. While trying to hit the trails in between.

There isn't nearly as many XJers on this board as wrangler or grand owners. Jeeps Unlimited has a good cherokee forum(not knocking yours tiff), it has more posts and moves nicely.

The Cherokee forum on JU has never had the problems that the other boards had. XJ -JUers were not looking for someplace else to go.

I still use the XJ board on JU a lot, because it has a much larger user base. This area will grow, but it will be by word of mouth more than anything else.

I dont do much in the way of mods to my Jeep anymore due to the fact that im selling it and getting a different one. And the only fab that I have done lately is straightening out my SmittyBilt after a incounter with a mudpit, yes that was one wicked mudpit. If you want a good article on TJ flares goto www.jeepinnorthwest.com he has a whole write up on it. Sorry XXJ

I drift over here from time to time to see what's up and try to fill in a few of the 0 response posts. My XJ was a faithful trail rig and I still use it for camping, but the TJ gets the hard core trails now.

The most original suspension mod I've seen lately was putting longer bolts in the axle end of the lower control arms and using them as shock mounts.

For those of you who haven't been there, there is loads of good XJ info on my site.
I'm still in the process of moving it off Geocities, so if you hit a dead link let me know.
