It arrived today! I cannot tell ya how nice it is to crawl under a Jeep and not have rust. Soooo damned happy to be away from the east coast salted crap.
Yeah, I know... I did not build it. Yes, I have built more than a few. This is like my 9th Jeep, 7th XJ? Yes, I would do a few things differently. Yes, I know is has a D30 front axle.
A few oil leaks to track down, nothing major. It has a vibe with the front drive-shaft in, so some geometry to look at. Runs great, AC even works... but will not be used on the trail, XJ's just cannot deal with AC and trails without overheating (usually).
Tuesday the guy I purchased it from is stopping by with a bunch of extra parts, including another D44 rear and a D44 front.
Fiancee paid cash for my new toy as a gift. Wooooo Hoooooo. Looking forward to hitting some easy areas until I get rid of the D30. Gotta keep to the easy stuff, as 35's and a D30 = tow truck.
Cannot play with it this weekend. Insurance starts tonight at midnight, registration cannot be done until Tuesday.
