I traded my wheeler XJ for a YJ. Still love the XJs but it was time for a change. Now to find a DD XJ ;)

I drove all the way to McAllen texas to swap.

The trip meter for the whole trip rolled to 2222.2 when I turned on to my street! That is a very long drive. We left on saturday around 6am and got back today(monday) at 12:30.


With some minor adjustment to the garage door I got it to fit ;)

Need to replace the seal on the steering box but other than that I could wheel it! But of course there are things that do need some attention. Like not having any stop lights or headlights :roll: Not having a working spare propane tank ;) And many more ;) but on with the pics! :D


Well I was able to get it inspected. They had to add a VIN plate to the dash since it was missing, but since it had the firewall one it was ok. Then I went to get the title and since tx does have the selling price I needed a bill of sale, but the lady was cool and let me write one up without the sellers signature on it. If everything goes through I will get the title in the mail. If it doesnt I will get a letter explaining what other hoops I have to go through. So we will see. But took some more photos today.

looks good Blake, now I hope to get your other YJ for my own evil purposes! :devil:
 
Let the air out of the tires to get it in the garage.

Looks good!
:thumbup:
 
or try it again after eating that Bacon surprise your having for dinner :D That ought to help get the suspension to compress a little bit!!

that yj is cool

Thanks I think so ;)
 
what is it with you XJ guys trading off to rigs with frames under them :dunno:










Blake, let me know when that other YJ becomes available :D
 
I know, I know Josh...Mr. Movie Star now and all :D I am wanting to start another project, but I am keep the XJ regardless of my next build...I have a 91 Nissan x-cab 4x4 p/u that I thought about doing a SAS on and linking it, but it needs the tranny rebuilt and that is almost a grand!!! So, my options are still open......
 
Pics? What you want for it :D

not yet, I can get some though. We actually have 3 Nissan chore trucks around the farm and 2 of them are out of commission due to tranny problems (and one of those was in a head on collision w/ a pumper truck, so it has a "few" other problems :D ) This extended cab is a decent shape truck but the tranny is turning out to cost more then the truck is worth. I have been looking at the options of other power plant/tranny combos for it. Would be fun to SAS the front, dove and bob the rear, exo the cab and wheel it for a change of pace....whel base should be decent :dunno:

sorry for the thread hijack Blake :D
 
Looks good man! I am gonna miss it but I am loving the cherokee so far!
