XJ
« on: October 31, 2012, 01:34:57 PM »
Smike..
might need some help here...

finally got the XJ into the shop to do a preliminary DMV check for my salvage inspection Monday..
ends up the rear spring hangers are soft as hell...

there are some other issues being addressed by Scotty’s right now, but I wanted to know if I got you the jeep tomorrow or Friday would you be able to mend the soft steel...

pictures attached..  seems its accessible from under the rear seat...
Also have a winch bumper and winch... figured since it will be down there and all ;)

I can postpone the inspection.. but if it can be done...

Driver side.....




Inside the rear seat well




No Flash




The Driver side is soft to the touch.. the passenger side is getting there...

motor mounts, window and general NYS inspection stuff Im having scotty's do.. just because its their job and im having them pick it apart.  Even with a phone call I dont want the salvage inspector to have a NY reason not to pass this fucker..
