In a proud tradition...

[poorboy_616]

For me to make it:

Retrain my 87 XJ from Mallcrawler to trail rider, and get my friggin speedometer fixed.....

Oh yeah, find a source of funding....

 

[WheelinJR]

1. Find the time and money to show up
2. Buy a new Jeep
3. Build said Jeep
4. Realize I'm not going to be building a trail rig this time and accept the fact that I'll be rolling the easy to moderate trails again.

Install another leaf in my already sagging "new" rear springs.
figure out the wiring problem with my fuse block.
Herculine interior.
Figure out why my OX works sometimes.
Get new tires if I have the money(probably not going to happen)

That's about it.

I think I'm ready but not sure if I fixxed the slipping problem. I'll find out this week. Oh ya find $$$ to buy a rear locker and leafs.

 

[fubar XJ]

Eh, the XJ is pretty much ready to go. Little things come and go, had to replace my aux fan toggle and temp slider light the other day, but nothing major. I suppose I should re-trim my front bumper corners so that they stop rubbing at full stuff, maybe I'll hit that this weekend.

Did you figure out why it was slipping? And how was the drive home with it?

[Muddy Beast]

Well what the heck, I have a few things on my list, so I'll bring this back to life. It's all small stuff, but a long list. The beauty of my first car that I actually car about/is officially mine, and having it be 19years old from idiot owners who dont know how to put back the bolts after they take them off! (Litterally like 50 bolts missing from body parts and a few engine parts)

-Drain and replace the Tranny, Diferential, and Radiator fluids
-New coolent reservor
-New Alternator
-Buy and install a CB radio
-Fix the winshield wiper motor (speed doesnt go up, at all)
-Check all the grounds
-New speakers (Some decent Kicker speakers on the way)
-New Dynomax exhaust and welding to new Catylic converter
-Replace the EGR valve hoses

Possibly do/hope to do by NWfest:
-Get a 3" lift from Rough Country
-RC Diff. guard
-RC steering stablizer
-Set of BFG Mud Terrains
-Black Steelies
-Tow points
-Rock sliders

[in2fords]

I highly suggest buying a undercoating sprayer. I just put down a gallon of dupli color in less then 10 minutes!! came out real nice and even and there was no mess to deal with. got my gun from eBay, less then $30 shipped I beleive.


not real rough but there is a lot of texture





Im haveing some set backs myself. Put on the new SS braided clutch line and did a bunch of things. Go to start it and just clicking, smell something and think it is the starter motor giving up. Crawl under there and its not hot? crank the motor crossing the terminals on the back of the motor and smell the burning smell again, look over and FIRE!!!! the ground wasnt doing well at all so all the current was going thru the clutch hose $50 cluctch hose down the drain.

Now the grounds are all set and good, still need to have drive shafts made and a couple other small things, like SHIPPING IT ACROSS THE OCEAN. not looking good at this point.

 

[WaXJ_Skier]

1. do something with control arms (long arms or new short arms) Long arms next week
2. Install THOR guards Currently in the living room halfway prepped for paint
3. rocker replacement Holding out hope but probably not
4. bed line interior of XJ Maybe
5. New shocks Maybe
6. SYE Yeah right
7. figure out how to make XJ get 50MPG

probably more that I don't have time for.
