My Next XJ Build

[IMORTL]

Well, I have my new ( to me ) 1990 XJ and I am ready to start the build up.

I just received my RE 5.5 lift in the mail today and am going to keep my other XJ to take all of the parts off of it...

I decided to start a blog to document the build up. I started with an intro because I hve other (non 4x4 people - family) who I'll have read it from back east.

Here it is:

Thats sweet. Good idea with the blog, and you actually write it to keep attention too, looks good. I'll be checking in on the build up.

Good luck!

I guess i'm just a little confused as to why you are building a new jeep up? I saw you mentioned something about wanting A/C and all in the blog, and needing $1500 in a/c work? I have trouble thinking about where you'd find $1500 in a/c parts even if you bought it new at the dealer, let alone off of a junker.

To get my old XJ's A/C working I would Have needed a new compressor, condensing unit, some other part that is needed (I forgot what it was) and new hoses and the system used the old R-12 freon. The old jeep also needs a new wiring harness and it is leaking oil. The jeep I bought (1990) was new to me. And that’s what I am building up… the quote was for $1200 to get the A/C running... I rounded up to $1500
