ExTankerGuy's '87 Waggy

[ExTankerGuy]

Thought I would throw this in here...

All stock...My Dad bought it new back in 87. When I got it, it had 315,000 miles on it!

3" lift with 31s...

After I added the lift, I got 4.56 gears, and ARB lockers front and rear.

Same lift with some trimming on 33s.

Then I went with 4.5" lift with 35s. AJs Bumpers, rails, and TNT customs bellypan.



Made my front doors removable and got another set of wheels. (got rid of my spacers)



Got an awesome deal on a front 44 so I upgraded tires and wheels after the front axle swap

I think this is current...

Now that you're back in Indiana and Close to Redbird, you need to make that thing a little uglier!

He needs to come to the Crawl so I can see it in person.

actually i don't think that is a new pic is it? thats gotta be when he got it which it looks OUTSTANDING for 315k (the 2000's cavalier in the background had me scratching my head). awesome looking waggy

 

[ExTankerGuy]

That would be correct. That picture was after I got it and it had 315,000 miles on it.

 

[Fore Wheeler]

Good eye rocker, its still a great pic.

I have one of mine laying around somewhere when I took possession, with fiberglass running boards and a windshield visor.

 

[Molly Ann]

In LOVE with this waggy! Looks great for 315k!

 

[Molly Ann]

Also like how one of the first things you did was taking off the doors!

 

[jeepster35]

[Rev Den]

XJ's without doors look stupid.

Very nice evolution of the waggy XJ (non SJ)!

Nice write up with pics and tires/lift as it evolved!
