hello everyone, just picked up an 89 xj over the weekend it has some issues i need to fix just wanted to say hi, and any help would be amazing,

i need to tackle an abs delete, i have no power brakes atm, i have done some reasearch into it, but no one explains EVERY part that is needed for the job, i hate starting things and having them unfinished

what are the specs? was the one in lake country on craigslist? looks familiar ?

 

[morgan320i]

it was, it was his sons who lives in virginia now , i could tell he did not know anything about it, im not sure of what everything it has,
has locked front and rear i not sure if he welded it or has lockers, dad did not tell me that, driving in a circle told me that lol, his son did alot of work and had like 300 pages of notes and highlighted stuff, he also did the mod for 1st gear lockout and torque converter control, alum rad, snorkle, front and rear bumpers, ac and fan delete, rear springs/shackles and 2 inch blocks, front is unknown but has control arm drop brackets and other stuff, its close to 7 inchs of lift ,MY FIRST JEEP, dont know to much yet

i did not know about the abs problem till i got it home and saw the booster did not look the same as most ,

his son moved away in 2010 and had a list of stuff he had done and recipts for everything right before he moved , plugs/wires,rotor, fuel pump, valve cover gasket,water pump, all fluids , and yello top optima battery and a bunch of other stuff
