Sold the XJ

[hightimes2]

for the few of you I have met over the past few years I sold my XJ today so I will no longer be part of the community but I will still lurk over here from time to time

It has been fun Randy

 

[Frank Z]

You'll be back.....

 

[Kittrell]

........they always come back.

 

[YELLAHEEP]

What's the plan now Randy? 'Wheelin' something else? No more 4x4?

Definitely pop in once and a while!

 

[JJacobs]

I'll still be seein' ya around Randy, just not at any 4x4 place! April will be here before we know it.

 

[hightimes2]

yes jon you will be seein me this summer at bandimere :laugh3: hopefully if things go right I will be in the 13's this year. As for as getting out of 4 wheelin that is a no as much as you guys will :flame: me I will tell you anyway I will be building a YJ for my next rig.

spend the extra 100 bucks and get a TJ man. A YJ?

Nothin' easier to build than a YJ.

 

[jdogg4]

Per price cheaper to build up. Leafs VS coils. More options for lifts with the TJ. Long arm short arm. Vs just leafs.
Less parts to deal with with the leafs you can do an easy SOL lift and 33s easy. Can pick up the YJ for cheapr to.
I just see alot of YJ guys doing all this work to convert them to coils thats alot of time and effort that can be saved just going with a TJ setup.

Well if thats his plan that is.

Over all yes cheaper is for sure.

already have the yj.

 

[jdogg4]

already have the yj.

Well that takes care of that issue. :thumbup:

 

[hightimes2]

Yeah I've had my YJ for about 10 years now

 

[jdogg4]

What all are you going to do to it?

 

[hightimes2]

I have a motor and tranny out of a 86 iroc z camaro, spring over extending the wheelbase to 100-101", 14 bolt rear dana 60 front with 40-42" tires

 

[jdogg4]

Ya I could see why the XJ went away.

 

[hightimes2]

Don't get me wrong I had a lot of fun in the xj but it was my 1st real build and I did a few things wrong so I figure it will be easier to just build my yj instead of redoing alot on the xj

 

[jdogg4]

O I feel you. I haven’t gotten that deep into the jeep out side of the lift and tires and minor body damage. I kind of miss the whole having a frame to work with. I have an old 89 Toy single cab short box that I’m going to build up for the old man. Odds are just wheel the XJ a few more years then when I can get into a cheaper 2 door unlimited I want to build that up as my next rock crawling rig.
