Yellow got the engine replacement I referenced in the previous post in July of 2018. The engine that I got from MKR5150 ran absolutely amazing. At that time I also bought new stock height leaf springs and dropped it to 2" of lift, thinking I would drive it more often if it was easier to get in and out of. With the long arms and 2" of lift it drove about as awful as I expected it to. In the next two years I probably put less than 20 miles on it.
With a heavy heart, Yellow went to a new home last week.
I had it over 10 years, the second longest I've owned any Jeep. Part of the reason for selling is because I got my first vehicle (that I got when I turned 14, also happens to be an XJ) running again after almost 15 years of being apart. I am far from out of the XJ game, but my wife and I had a child last December, and I just wanted to see someone put Yellow to good use since it was already set up for offroading, and I likely won't have time for much of that in the next couple years.
Thanks to all for the help and kind words over the years on this project, I will start a new build thread on the Jeeps that I'm working on now.
