Worked on an 88 xj today with all of 40k miles on it. Paint was pretty rough but super clean body and inside was prestine. Still had amc plug wires on it. Apparently it sat at a condo in telluride that only got used when people were there and the guy picked it up for dirt cheap. It was pretty cool.

Ugh I can't edit. They have actively fight these land closure issues and are trying to raise some money for legal fees. I met them once clearing grizzly lake. Pretty good guys to deal with.

Green jeep? I bet it was dutchvdub's. He had a build thread for it at some point.

Sweet! Actually looks pretty clean.

Only 130 on jack stands? Weak....

Nice job! Enjoy some free time!

I need to get my basic steering figured out but should just be a 1.5x8" ram from PSC. I've been lazy lately and need to double sheer my pitman arm before and make sure it's all good. But yeah stock pump and tapped box. I'll drill fitting out some for more flow on the pump. If you go assist I...

Not sure what ori uses but the original fox lines on my coilovers are nylon with a braided steel cover. Both of mine had been crushed or something so I made new ones with real hoses and fittings from kartek when I rebuilt them. They are pretty stout now.
