Finally drove it down the road and all I can say is it hauls. I have pics and a short video but need to upload them

Still working on the traction bar and tire carrier will take some pics and upload them tomorrow.

So it's been awhile. Updates where to start. The my never ran right after the tuner touched it. I was told the factory computer didn't have the parameters to be adjusted for the cam stroker combo. So I got a fast kit for it. After messing with fuel leaks for awhile in the drive way, a buddy...

Anyone going to Ejs?

yeah the jeep was a buddies daily driver before it got wrecked. No converter with it. The guy that got the motor needed the converter.

Aw4 out of a 2000 xj with 125k and some change on it. Looking to get 200 bucks out of it. Located in Joliet Il.

Got the motor in last night and started redoing some wiring that was a mess. Hoping to test fire it maybe monday then it goes to the tuner on the 9th.

I just did a valve body shift kit, corvette servos, and a torque converter lock up control. To be honest this jeep will see way more street use than wheeling for awhile. I am thinking about going back to school and it will be a mode of transportation for awhile. Just happens to be a mode that...

Finished building the motor and started to tear into the trans for the shift kit and corvette servo. I also just got a 2000 xj to start swapping parts over to mine from. Its a limited can you say heated leather.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I dont have any pictures of the dash at this moment. But I can take some when I redo it for the 97 up interior if you want. It is just a piece of aluminum that was bent and had holes cut to fit.

No I am going to wheel it. I am just going to be careful with it. I am not going to beat it and flat out flog it.

Its not just a trail rig. Its my only car. Ive done the beat to hell thing before and it kinda bugs me to not have something nice that I am sinking all this time into. So I am going a different route on this one. This last round of the build has cost about 4500. With paint being the smallest...

Nope the cheap gallon was 150 and the good gallon was 450. Automotive paint isnt cheap. Thats just base coat. I have about 1500 in materials for the paint alone. Dont even get me started on the rest of the jeep I dont even want to think about it.

Got the bed tailgate and gas door all sprayed today. I also learned my lesson on using cheap paint. I had a brand new gallon of paint that had a bad toner in it and ended up have to buy a new gallon through another paint rep. Hopefully monday I can get my money back on the garbage gallon. It was...
