I’m terrified Classic Motorsports will see this fate one day. I think the reason it still exists is because of the older guys reading it and the super high end products that advertise there are too good to advertise on the internet. 

If it wasn’t for this picture I wouldn’t have been able to identify the new random taillights I saw at work yesterday. Also, those taillights look better in person, promise. Now I want to see these fancy new headlights I’ve heard about. They are supposed to use some type of never before seen tech. 

That’s not true. Manufacturer testing gets a super limited window of time throughout a year. So if you’re not able to go on the one or two days in a year that are opened to you you may be screwed. If I recall right I remember reading once that manufacturers were only given a few weeks head ups on one availability…

Do you have close ties with this company or another in proximity to it? 

That’s why when you work with a specialty company while restoring it you take that into account, which that company apparently did not. 

Something tells me they weren’t talking about gas mileage. 

I’ve owned three Taurus’. I killed one, one killed it’s transmission and the most recent one is about to go to scrap because I can’t in good conscience sell it. Besides that I own an XJ that will never ever ever be sold. It may go through a few hearts and renditions but it will still be my Jeep. In reality right now…

To me it appears to be basically a full blown race car except instead of a plastic body to look like a modern car it is an old metal body. 

So Torch hasn’t started for the day to make a graphic huh? Haha

Pause for a moment here. Just so I can gauge how wrong you are and where you are coming from what current vehicles do you find attractive?

Like Rob said with most of the running gear being shared that should be easy. With 3D printing and such making new badge molds and such should be easy enough. Plus when one spends six figures on a car certain expenses can be expected. Look at the price of Engine out services for certain exotics.

I think if I get a job in Toledo I just need to hide my XJ in your hoard and hopefully you’ll accidentally put it back together. 

I despise heights but absolutely love any kind of flying. It feels more secure I guess. 

I can tell you now that you would regret not doing it more than doing it. At least in the long run. 

Not that it relates too much. But some higher ups at the company I work for said that the lights for it contain technology unheard of it lighting systems anywhere in the world. And they would know what they are talking about since they have some ridiculous light contracts across the world. 

I figured it had to be along those lines. Unless somebody is making axle conversions which seems like it would cost far more. 

I am happy to say I’m a part of that community albeit in Indiana. They are a second family to me. Side note I’m digging those Rubi wheels, do you use a spacer with a different bolt pattern to get those to work?

I always kind of assumed those places checked your identity and made sure you were in the proper tax bracket to even talk to them about a car let alone drive it. 

Was there such a thing as an early 2000’s Jeep that wasn’t a pain to swap the heater core? I know my XJ’s was terrible. 

How much does an amazing XJ go for down there? Asking for an XJ addict friend that’s totally not me.
