wow... reminds me so much of when i bought my XJ a couple years ago...

...btw, paid $5300 for mine with 93k. looked identical to yours when i got it...
first thing i did was take off the front tag bracket lol...

 

[JeepAddict85]

No reason to take it off now...ill just wait til my winch bumper arrives :greensmok

Oh and I traded Eric (TheChief89 i think) a stock rear driveshaft from my 01 for another front driveshaft, so i am ready to do my SYE. Also picked up another driveshaft from pull a part, so i now have a trail spare.

I'm sure there are plenty of people to help with your SYE.

 

[JeepAddict85]

ha, yea. i can do it...we only disassembled mine like 6 times. haha, you taught me well eric :wave:

just ordered my Cragar soft 8's...

Long arm kit will hopefully be ordered this week.

Let me know when you get ready for the SYE install. I have a 2-post lift and when you raise the XJ up, you look right at the t-case. No dirt in your eyes.

Let me know.

 

[MELKORsXJ]

having a lift is nice... :guitar:

will probably look something like this...

good luck with it...

...i have more pics too (imagine that, lol)

Rubicon Express 4.5 leaves and coils arrived last night, along with my ruffstuff diff covers. Wheels should be here by tuesday or wednesday.

When's the wrenchfest? How about Saturday, I know of a place where there is a lift and there will already be alot of other people.

 

[The Pig]

Very nice start. Reminds me of when I got mine

then the RE 4.5 and 32's

and then 35's and 6.5"

Good luck with the build and
subscribed!

I wish, but long arms wont be here for awhile, and i still need shocks and a track bar. Plus my axles arent done yet. Im going to wait til I have everything ready then try to do it all at once. Probably take a day off from work and do it over a long weekend.


Nice Ride PIG!

Yeh, I'm sure you can get it done in a weekend. It's not that much to do.

 

[JeepAddict85]

WOW that was good right there, I have to give you credit that was crafty.


You forgot about swapping motors, servicing the engine, doing the whole thing out side around the weather, and having a family......other then that yeah one weekend.
Man I'm glad this is all in clean fun. Why do I hang out with you guys again lol?

We had this conversation at Wooleys.

Greg the 4wd conversion only took a weekend, it was the engine swap that took 7 months. Gotta get the facts straight.

Haha, just playin around man. I know its a lot of work. And its always the stupidest little things that should go quick, they end up taking FOREVER.

I keep remembering all the little bits/pieces i have to order before i can lift it. :doh:

See you guys tomorrow at ED's! Eric just hit me up when u want to meet, we'll figure something out. Ill have the oil drain plug with me, and the cash for the throttle body.

 

[Mr.Shrek]

Hey I know it's all in good fun. If you guys didn't pick on me I'd start to think you didn't love me anymore. Hey don't forget to bring those springs with you either.

 

[JeepAddict85]

oh yea...will do!
