I have the luxury of time not money, but because I have time, money can be worked out. Honestly, I love the 4.0, but the gas mileage, not so much. If I can get better mpgs, I won't complain. I'd love an engine that is easy to get parts for, so a chevy motor would work. If i went LS swap, which...

I have a 2001 XJ that was my DD until I blew a hole the size of a grapefruit in the block. Now my former DD is a project jeep that I want to turn into an overlander for camping vacations and such. So it needs to bebeefy enough for moderate off roading, but I don't plan on crawling with it. Since...

actually to a place that helps teach job skills. They needed something that could pull a small trailer with lawn equipment. I told them of they could get it running it was theirs.

The XJ is no more. After a year and a half on jack stands, I donated it to a local charity for a micro-business they run. hopefully a replacement, one that actually runs, is on the horizon.

honestly, whatever I can. We were approved for a home loan today and need to get a down payment/closing costs together. So if parting it will get me more money...so be it. If someone wants it, make an offer.

I have a black 86 XJ 4x4 with a 2.8 that needs to go. It has been up on jackstands since 10/08. Gas mileage was 9 mpg; gas was 4.00...no bueno. engine has less than 10k on a rebuild, and it ran well when it was put up. i changed a rear main seal then put it back together, but squirrels...

Do you still have this? how reliable a driver is it?

i'm interested, but can you explain the transfer case issue a little more.

URBAN CRAWL:roflmao:

i run 235 75's on 15x7.5's and do not rub. I have no lift at this time and am regularly hauling a bunch of crap in the back and a xj full of family. Even loaded down to go camping with a full roof rack and a spare tire up top no prob.

It's supposed to be a straight swap. I have a 2.8 as well and want to change, but I'm considereing the 3800 pontiac motor.

I'm moving and the money crunch says some stuff has to go. Includes a never installed 3" lift. Check it out and PM me if interested in anything. Reasonable offers accepted: http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=954887

I wish i would have seen this before, but I like my fix. I pulled the antenna completely and bondoed the hole on the fender. then I installed an amplified antenna on the inside of the windshield above the rearview. drilled a hole in the dash from below to make sure I didn't hit anything...

The problem is that English is a "hooker" language, it takes all comers for a price. The price is frequently a change of meaning over time and sometimes a morphological change. If you want to start developing some understanding of structure learn German and you will quickly notice similarities...

Our family van is a 96 Honda Odyssey. it went for 28mpg through the mountains in norther AZ and southern Utah.
