-bumpers front and rear with tire carrier, whore 8000# -9000#
-headlights ,Auto Pal upgrades

Anything else I have forgotten to put in here , but as far as this goes, I know there is already a build thread under XJryder buys a new /89 XJ, but it didnt have a "Official Title" to the build

My time frame is October 10th 2009 for the O'Daniel Jeep Jam
I know its a long shot because there is alot of stuff this rig still needs, but I am hoping it all falls in place.
Remember this is a rig for ROC who alot of you already have met,

any question PM me , or -nbkfox7@hotmail.com-,

The next is sheet metal, I need wheel wells made, I need to fabb out the wheel wells, box in the back end and start the rear cab window area, Philbert I need those clips, and body dope for the seems ASAP.

I have to pay for most materials I take from work. some stuff, I can get away with, but some stuff is in the computer. If It runs out early, the computer will know something is wrong. Some stuff we need, I have at home, and will donate. Some stuff I will buy from work, and will trade for old parts! , And some stuff you will have to pay for, but I will put it on my account, so you get the "Player price"! I'll be able to make it over Sun., Or Mon., and will start making us a Body and paint shopping list!

- any how last night I switched out Steering columns, and instrument gauges, because Economy said cosmetic, nothing mechanical. so I have to take those things back

- started taking out the alarm system, and going through all the wiring, and I will be
- removing wiring out of the 01 XJ
- remove the brackets out of the 01 to weld into the 89,
- remove door pins out of the 01, and driver doors

Went over to Matt's after Mike and I went over to put Bryans old XJ on his trailer, "Fun,Fun". then I came back to "real quick" cut out the wheel wells, some other brackets, and then opened up the floor to expose the TC for Matt, then realized at 11pm I couldnt stand too well, so ROC helped me get home, and this morning after trying to get out of bed I finally made it down the hall to the couch, I decided that I would take a break today and stare at the parts on the trailer, I will be fabbing out the wheel wells sometime this week, I will take pics of my progress , and a big thanks to Borderbum, and Tuffjarhead, Paps, Bryan, and Roc for all the help this week. Big thanks to Stiller off 9.89 the Bear for giving me some air time on the Operation Notchback.

Heading over to matts tonight to work on the xj if anyone else would like to help out..

tacked in the inner wheel wells, cut some extra sheet metal apart, Brandon finished tacking the upper panels, then we wanted to test fit the rear wall, and back bench seat. After Brandon left I put the cover and panel back on the steering column.

Bill when ever you want to come over we wil be doin stuff every day

-Today I ventured over to 9.89 the bear and talked about the build in more detail, Stiller wants to do a whole segment on this build, in the morning or on his airtime next week, having that airtime can greatly effect getting more accomplished, and being able to maybe get in touch with other veterans in need. Anyway I thought that this would be great to help .

Brandon came over today and we fabbed in the rear sides, and I cut the rest of the rockers out so we can weld in sliders. Then we started figuring out how big it would sit and DAMN!!!!!!Its gonna be a huge bitch.

Next Tuesday at 8 a.m. the T&T morning show will have a Operation Notchback Special, and have a segiment in hopes to raise the rest of the for the build, Listen Tuesday Augest 4th for our Notchback Special. The $6,300.00 is what needs raised.

So what is happening to this when you get it done? your asking for these donations, is the truck getting donated to some one, or someplace? I'm sure you already told us, but I may have missed it.

I wish my lawn was Emo so it would cut itself.

After this XJ is built it is given to Roc,( Title and Keys), who is a Iraq War veteran . The deal was I would build a DD/Trail rig/ Family vehicle ,that is an off road, Daily Driver that the whole family can enjoy. The only catch is that he has to get screened for Traumatic Brain Injury, PTSD, get his back checked out, his hearing and all medical things due to military service(12 Years of it). He gave alot for us to enjoy our freedoms, and I thought it would be a great thing for all of us to be involved, community to get behind this and instead of showing support by talking about it. They put our where our mouth is. I have invested $2600.00 in this so far I am almost tapped out, because I am using my disability and donations from others(thanks Hoosier truck ckub,Economy Autoparts,Auto Bumper Exchange)to complete this project, and guys are donating time in fabbing metal(thanks BorderBum), meeting me at the junk yards so we can get all the interior(thanks Paps), guys are giving parts(thanks Bryan)Donating labor(thanks TuffJarHead), ETC. Its coming along great, but I need so much more(Lift Kit, Engine,head machined,Tires,Radiator,Electric fans,Exhaust system,bumpers, whore, and all the little nickel and dime stuff that can break a project). The last thing is the Paint Job ( 2009 Burnt Orange). So I hope that everything comes together.

couple pics i have after completing the floor, fabing rear fenders, and mounted dash. we have more done as of meow.

I talked to you.S. 93.3 and they said that they will be checking into putting this
"Operation Notchback" into their events calendar to raise for the build

$6,300.00 is the remainder of the tally to finish the build.

Thanks again to all who have and are helping with this build, alot of hands have been apart of the success of this build, thats what make Jeep guys and girls awesome.

Remember Tuesday August 4th at 8 a.m. 9.89 the Bear Morning show

What machining needs done on the head and engine? My wifey works for napa and might be able to get some strings pulled on that. No promises but...

Also might be able to get some hookup on parts either free or cheap thru napa. You might have to put somthing on paper and meet with the napa people but it may be worth the time. Let me see what she thinks and if she thinks they would back this some I'll post my number so we can talk and figure some of this out.

That would be great the 4.0 motor and head are out of a 01 XJ, the head floated a valve, and needs machined, revalved, the motor has sat with the head off in weather so the motor would have to be flushed, all the cylinders hoaned, new rings,new bearings,etc., and reassembled, ARP bolts for the head,head gasket, new timing chain, new starter, new alternator, plugs, wires,rotor,cap, gasket set, pushrods, valvecover, hoses, radiator(3 core) BRX hoses, and electric fan setup (2200 cfm) from Baseline 4x4 outfitters. That is the list for the motor, I will drain and install a new tranny filter, and gasket/fluid.

- need new you-Joints, driveshafts balenced

- exhaust, header, muffler, etc.

- then we have to get everything together ,brackets , lines, coolant, refrigerant,etc.

- I have the 01 XJ that we can remove all the wiring from so if anyone wants to help I need people to come over remove seats out of the 01 to remove wiring

- the Jeep is ready to have body work done, and then can be put in primer, TuffJarhead will be doing the rollcage this month, I just have to get him the ($400), which I have tommarrow

and thats is what needs done right meow.
