First run on my new rig

[KSXJ]

I know that it is a YJ and that I traded my old XJ for it. However I thought I would still post some pics of my new toy and its fist run out. Of course I may be looking for a XJ DD soon, if I can find a diesel in my price range for a new tow vehicle. The park was extremly muddy. But it dried out by the afternoon.

The YJ specs
D60 front
14bolt rear
304 propane injected
turbo 400 tranny
dana 300 TC
42' TSLs on 16in beadlocks

finally got her out did ya? looks good / the tamed down paint too. Where were the pics taken at?

 

[KSXJ]

We went to tuttle! The parking lot when we got there was a mud fest. Had to put in 4wd just to park!

 

[IllianaXJ]

I like it.

 

[offroadman83]

Man it looks awesome Blake! Hope it worked out good for you!

 

[KSXJ]

It worked great!!! Eventually a motor swap, but I am going to wait on that for a while.

Very nice, I envy your tires...

 

[xj4life]

what's it got for tcase and axle gears?

what's it got for tcase and axle gears?

It has a stock dana 300 with 5.38s in the axles...............

Blake........yeah motor swap would be good. It is not exactly powerful.......however a 4:1 in the dana 300 would sure help it crawling wise!

looks good man-but just not as good as your xj...someone had to say it ha

 

[KSXJ]

lol yeah styler I did like the looks of the old XJ, and looks even better now with a silver exo! But I have to say it is fun to have a frame and no top and doors And less body to worry about with all the trees that I seem to hit. Just ask Tyler

When I link/stretch/coilover the rear I will put in a doubler. But I am a ways from that. It will start to slow me going down a hill in first, but not slow enough! But the traction I get from these tires I can idle up almost anything!!!!!

 

[offroadman83]

Yeah It really needed the better tires.............Glad to see it does better with the new ones!

 

[KSXJ]

Yeah the tires worked great. I can't wait to groove them and see how much better they do. I know when I groved the ones on the XJ it helped a lot.
