been looking around at XJs for a while now and ended up getting one from a member here.
99 XJ Limited, D44 rear, built up D30, 35s, bumpers, winch, rubicon express 5.5, 4.56s, Aussie lockers front/rear, WJ knuckles, custom high steering, labarron hood vents, and some other stuff i don't remember.
as it sits when i picked it up
the front end is completely slopped out, did 2 bushings in last weeks snow storm out side. was going to upgrade to the adjustable rubicon lower arms but got in touch with a member here and picked up a pair of Clayton Long arms so those will be on soon.
spend all yesterday and night redoing the rear with new seals which were SHOT!! no rear brakes right now since the seals were so bad it messed them up but i'm not going to use them anyway.
already have parts to install.
Clayton long arms
Ford Exploder rear brake mod
52in LED Vision X light bar needs to get wired in
then just work the kinks out.
almost doesn't fit in the garage to work on it, i can only jack the wheels about 4in off the ground before the roof hits part of the storage racks we have.
and Bomb doggy Books hanging out while we do a tune up
plans.....
fender flairs
rock sliders
low pro roof rack to mount light bar to
clearance cut fenders more for the tires
get heated seats to work right
fab up a built in dog bed in the back for the pooch
and maybe if i get the strange urge to throw more money at this...
alloy rear axles with ARB lockers front/rear
re-gear to 4.88 or rebuild the motor to get a little more power. has around 200K on it now.
