Jon Bowman from Fox31 News here in Denver stopped by today. Jon and I had been playing phone tag for awhile. You see Jon was doing a piece on personalized plates and as far as plates go there is a pretty famous one in my driveway.
The plate was lost while on a trail in Moab Utah in 2004. He’s been traveling the world since then.

Poor Boy Fab Shop; XJ Ubolt/Extended Bump Stop Plates
November 16, 2008 By 1 Comment
Poor Boy Fab Shop; that’s me, Skully’s at home DIY projects! In this ever crappy economy most of us see an ever depleting disposable income. (Although I will admit if I did have the money I still like to fab my own stuff, its fun and saves money for the more expensive toys.)
For owners of any 4 wheel Drive the secret is to get as big of a tire as possible with the amount of lift you can afford. For XJ owners it can be a pain to figure out how to get the big tires under your vehicle as most lift kit makers state for XJ’s 4.5″ of lift you can run 32″ tires. Problem I find that not so accurate. I have 4.5″ of lift with 31′s and still rub in the front and rear. The front of an XJ you can cut to yours hearts content to give yourself room. The rear of an XJ is a little more complicated being it is a Unibody and the pinch seam and lower quarter panel gets in the way. Even with minor to major cutting most still do some form of Bump stop [Read more...]
Trxus M/T’s; a review 15 months in the making
September 29, 2008 By 4 Comments
My personal opinion here; I hate tire reviews written a month after they put them on. A review for a specific tire should be written after you done wore them out. So here is mine……….
I am a long time BFG fan. In 10 years I ran two different vehicles and four different sets of BFG’s on them. (1) Set of BFG A/T’s which are great on everything besides mud. (3) Sets of BFG M/Ts which are an all around great tire which I managed to abuse quite regularly and still got 60,000+ miles on each set. They only sucked on the street on snow and ice until I had them siped which kind of helped, but there is no perfect tire for all terrains.
Last year I had an epiphany; “How do I know if there is anything better if I have never tried them?” So I decided to try Interco’s Trxus M/T’s. I read plenty of reviews of satisfied customers who ran them and I thought I will give them a try. I bought a set May ‘07 and it is now September ‘08. They have taken plenty of abuse as I have put 30,000+ miles on my XJ in almost a year and a half and they have also been on eight off-road trails in Colorado since putting them on. [Read more...]

- Mount Gerlach, Slovakia
Looks like the plate is in Slovakia. To bring some of you up to speed, my plate was “lost” and has been traveling around the world for the past four years. On it’s journey it has seen international places of interests like the Leaning Tower of Piza, Chitsunitza in Peru, skied the Alps in Austria, Norway, China, Australia, South Korea, even supported the troops in Afghanistan. As for it’s American locations…it’s been almost everywhere. The plate has traveled on the famous Route 66 highway, visited historic Boston.
The infamous XJ group NAXJA is responsible for this little trek. Enjoy the full set up pictures here.

The plate has moved on to Bean Town…I mean “18-1 town”. Yes I’m still bitter about the World Series.
