Hey everyone, I've been lurking around for about a month, and figured it would be time to say Hi!!
I picked up an 89 XJ about a month ago after I got fed up with the payments and high insurance on my 2001 Nissan Xterra. So far I'm real happy with the change over to the XJ.
Even though I've only had the Jeep a month, I've been working at it just about every free chance I have. Here's a list of what I've done so far.
Threw out the carpeting, fixed some rust and Herculined the interior
Herculined the exterior
Made front and rear bumpers
replaced every bolt I touched, because they all snapped on me from rust.
removed the flares and hacked up my fenders in the anticipation of bigger tires
Now I'm waiting patiently for my RE 4.5" lift to get shipped to me..this wait has got to be even harder for me than laying out the cash for it
I also have another Jeep I bought about a year ago. It's a 73 Commando...it's a long building process....right now I'm in the beginning stages of doing a SOA with stock YJ springs.
Anyway, just thought I would say Hi
By the way, I should be ready to wheel it in a week or 2...anyone up for a Paragon run to break in my Jeep?
See Ya
