Mods so far:
-added the 2" drop ball attachment to the hitch
-swapped in my alpine dvd player
-seafoamed
-changed oil to mobile 1 full synthetic with new filter
-new air intake tube with cone filter
-new windshield wipers all around

Congrats on the new ride bud.

 

[JeepAddict85]

Thanks Mr.Shrek! Lots of parts on order...haha.


MaxxXJ- Yea, they detailed the engine before i got it, its super clean! The side mouldings will come off when my new bumper gets here.

Its auto also, and has the 29 spline 8.25 (ill put that up for sale when the 8.8 goes in)

With a new XJ comes a new name...

 

[PacificEd]

How about a parts list to get us started? I think you are going to go a little bit bigger on this one.

 

[JeepAddict85]

Ok, well currently on order:

-Porc HD SYE
-Rustys cat back exhaust (it needs a new one, the muffler has a small hole in it and shakes quite a bit)
-RE 4.5 coils and leaves
-Ruff stuff Diff Covers


Thats all for now, still figuring a few things out, and have to see what my money situation is by the end of the week. May be able to order long arms and a few other things.

Just wondering what you paid for it, if you don't mind me asking. I just bought one this weekend (2000 Classic w/ 154,000 on it) and I paid $3800 for it. Just trying to compare prices, I tought it was a pretty good deal.

i know im not the OP, but i got my 2000 sport with 101,960 miles on it not to long ago and i paid 7000otd from a used car stealership.

 

[JeepAddict85]

$4,995 from Beaman used cars. I wanted the low miles, and I needed to get something quick. My tax return came in, so i picked this up over the weekend.

 

[JeepAddict85]

Got the exhaust today and threw it in in a few hours. Sounds SWEET! And found a broken exhaust hanger above my cat that was causing a ratteling noise. Now I just have one more vibration/rattle coming from the front end to track down and ill be happy. SYE came also, may put that in over the weekend.

I really wish I knew you were looking for a jeep (and in that price range). I would have sold you mine for $4500 and its already got everything you are going to do.

 

[JeepAddict85]

ah, dang man. its all good thou, the build up is half the fun. I learn a lot more if I do it myself.

 

[mbogosia]

Greg, did you order 33's. I am going to be a little jealous once you get those on. I'm eventually going to get the same tires. Can't wait to see your jeep built up.

Looks good! Glad to see you got back into another XJ.
