Pics of my Jeep

Finally took some pics of my jeep. I climbed up a landscape rock at work and got out to check it out. The drivers' side rear tire is almost fully stuffed. I thought it made a cool picture.

Anyone know a good engine re-builder in Nor Cal?

Anyone know of a good engine builder for 4 strokes in Nor Cal. I have a friend that needs to do a valve job on a 450R? He took it to the local honda dealer and they said it needed a valve job. I think he ought to take it to a small atv shop. Any suggestions?

Anyone into Jeeps here?

I bought a 2001 XJ cherokee last spring just for another toy to play with and to use as a commuter to work. My quad is mostly set up for sand dunes so I wanted a toy to use in the mountains and desert. It was completely stock when I bought it. I installed a 3.5" rubicon express lift kit and 31" bfg ATs with black rock crawler steel wheels. Its been fun to hit the trails with it. I did the AAL in the rear and the ride totally sucks. I'm debating between switching it to blocks and longer shackles or buying 3" leaf spring packs. Anyone have any recommendations on the best springs? I've been debating on rubicon express or OME.

ESR website updates

I was browsing around and noticed that ESR has updated a few things on their website. www.esr250.com. THey have added the TRX7R pipe and the TRX9R. THe 9R doesn't have much of a description. THere is also some price increases. My dad bought the 7R for 279 and now its listed at 299. Still cheaper than the thier competition.

How is this R is worth? Fair offer?

My uncle has an R that he wants to sell, but it has an electrical problem and he never gets around to fixing it or selling it. He keeps telling me to make him an offer on it. What do you guys think a fair offer would be? Here is a list of the items it has. He built this quad from scratch using ebay, OEM parts, and atc250R parts. The frame is really cracked up. I'm considering it to be junk. I have an 88 frame already that is in better shape.
