Wow ya thats davids old rig.... my rear 44 came outa that rig...

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

looks like he wants to keep it (and no one will buy it). we're slapping a ton of free parts under that thing and taking it to moonrocks

 

[blondejoncherokee]

wow he gave up fast, it was up for like one day. Its better to put it back together if he has the bandwidth anyway

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

yep he's got a big old shop. he's only keeping it because I offered to give him 2 free axles. actually 3. and stock steering. and suspension. and trying to find him a gas tank. stay tuned
I went and looked at it. that thing is trashed haha

Hey Allen we got this old jalopy up and running tonight :gee:
I'll post pics later. Specs are disco/ welded 8.25 inboarded springs and 35's for now SYE'd 3 link
Budget is under $500 for the whole package.

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

oh and it's also chopped and dovetailed

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

this rig is now built and fully operational and running. it's dented up and a little janky (needs some polishing could be a fun rig) but not sits on:

disco 30 front open 3.55
27 8.25 welded 3.55
35" km1 tires lots of tread (soon to get some better offset wheels)
inboarded/flipped rear leaf springs
107" wheelbase
massive retubed rear driveline
killswitch
chop top
dovetail
ruffstuff shackles
cold air intake
retubed stock tie rod
3 link front (pass side upper)
3" spacers front
decent shocks
brand new brake lines
fresh fluids
internal cage
hack n tap SYE

I think that's all for now
soon to get a custom fuel cell. hell this thing might end up being worth buying for a part out
this rig ain't a beauty queen but she gets itall offers will be entertained. smog/reg pending we're gonna go check the DMV soon
badass fun little rig that actual tracks fairly well on the street for what it is

You dont see to many dove tailed xjs

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

[CAJJ93XJ]

then it's getting a paint job. stay tuned. still for sale

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

Got the beadlocks mounted tonight, how are the new rims?

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

the new rims are AWESOME. they really did the trick. we took this thing out tonight and my god if there ever was a trail rated badge, this thing gets it. safe to say that it wheels like all hell. just needs a little more adjusting
we layed it down in a couple ruts and lost the passenger mirror. there might be another dent or two..

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

this jeep got rolled. fun while it lasted

 

[Alboy97XJ]
