The Overland

[Kittrell]

For those that do not know, I am back in Colorado now. I took a job up in Westminster and moved back after I graduated from Portland State.

In my time on the West Coast I met my future wife. Getting married this August and she will join me here then. Her old Honda isn't going to cut it out here and I have no interest in transporting it either. So she is going to get my Audi and I will be in this.

2004 Overland, fully loaded, 132k on the clock.

Plans for it will eventually be Clayton 4" LA, 32"s, some kind of selectable f/r and a 242 swap. Not going too dramatic on it, just something for us to get out and enjoy the type of wheeling that I am fond of.

It's sooooooo clean. The overland packages are awesome. The commander in overland package had some color combo, but grey was suede and of course a hemi. If only it was as usable as the wj.

Nice Jeep DJ, I have 3 WJ Limited's, they are fun to drive.

I never doubted you'd find something stupid-clean. Nice find.

Still surprised you were considering that MJ of mine......SOOOOO far from that WJ.....lol.

But SOOOO much cheaper!

I have been spoiled daily driving an Audi for the last 7 years, but definitely happy with the purchase thus far.

First battle with it.

I had a hard start begin this past week, only codes were P0171 and P0174. It degraded quickly and became extremely difficult to start. Hooked a pressure gauge up to the Schrader and zero pressure. Swapped out the regulator filter and pressure was 50 psi with acc. on, runs well now at 38 psi or so.

Progress, albeit painstakingly slow.

I know a secret...:gag:

Any updates??

Nothing really, been absorbed in other things. Just threw some new rear window struts on it and cleaned off the Oakley sticker.

 

[xj-grin]

I remember replacing the rear window struts on mine... the bastage would smack me in the chin for 6 months until they softened up a bit... still have chipped teeth.

 

[Kittrell]

Yeah, it's pretty peppy now. :gee:

Gave it the last bit of love today, I think it's time to list it. Put in some new Champion spark plugs and tossed the AC Delco's that were in there. Threw a new camshaft sensor on. Didn't need it, but I had one from when the fuel regulator went out and I never returned it. Was going to toss the crank on as well but that thing is a nightmare. If it ain't broke don't fix it, applied here. Also replaced the skid pad on the rear bumper. Probably 98% of WJ's I see this piece is faded to ash gray, just looks terrible. It's only a $50 part but you have to pull the bumper skin, which is honestly a 20 minute job...........:repair:

 

[riverfever]

That looks nice DJ.

Gone, new owner took it home today, first person to look at it. He bought it to replace his wife's 2001 Overland. So it will likely enjoy the rest of its life in stock form.
