I am starting my first post and build thread I am going to have to back log this thing because it has been a work in progress. I was never good at stopping work and taking Pictures.
A little history.
This is the build for my third XJ.
First XJ: 1990 Laredo purchased for $200. Had every problem under the Sun took it to a shop once to fix the brakes and they told me brakes bushings axles seals, pinion seals, oil pan seal, rear main seal, misfire, etc but I still rocked the best I could.
Second XJ 1994 Sport
I put over 40k on this jeep commuting 120miles a day. It was a great Jeep but suffered from Flintstones Syndrome. I wheeled it hard too. But one wintery Christmas day I wheeled her too hard right into a frozen swamp. We tried for hours to pull her but in the end a tow truck was called and she was pulled out by the front axle due to a lack of recovery points ($850 tow bill). It flexed the frame in the end. I sold it to my buddy and it ran for another year until it spun a bearing.
On to the real subject. This is my current Jeep a 2000 Sport. Sitting stock on some blew out Pirellis.
