Wow, I've gotten a lot of responses. So far 8 people have, in one way or another, offered to trade me their XJs. I looked closely at all 8 Jeeps and some of them are quite nice. Others, however, are cobbled together hunks of metal that will implode on their first red trail :spin1:
I'll go ahead and list my full build here. Read it closely. If your Jeep is not equal in parts, workmanship, capability, and coolness, then please don't offer a trade. Stock shafts, lunchbox lockers, and a 12V air pump with alligator clips is not gonna cut it folks
Drivetrain:
Complete swap from a 99 XJ with 75k miles. 4.0, AW4, 231 and all electronics, wiring, computer stuff, and cooling system were professionally swapped in. New motor mounts and a Banks header were installed too. All the sensors are hooked up properly, the motor doesn't throw any codes, and it passes PA emissions every time without an issue. Starts and runs great. Absolutely no issues. Tranny and TC work perfectly. Heavy duty tranny cooler also installed. Custom Quigley drive shaft built specifically for this truck. Its as beefy a shaft as Quigley could make for this application.
Axles:
Rear D44 with raised shock mounts, Cadillac disk brakes, Superior allow shafts drilled for 4.5 or 5.5 pattern, Crane diff cover, full Detroit locker, 4.88s, working e-brake, Bilstien 5150s, and no rust.
Front HP D30 with alloy shafts, ARB locker, ARB diff cover, 4.88s, WJ knuckles and brakes, custom heavy duty tie rod & drag link, raised track bar mount, PSC hydro assist with full PSC box. Control arm skids.
Suspension:
Clayton long arms and crossmember with custom skid plates built off the x-member to protect the oil pan and the TC. 4.5" Clayton coils with 3/4 inch spacer. Rear spring over using re-conditioned stock MJ leafs. The entire suspension was installed and dialed in by FullCircle Offroad.
OBA:
Belt driven York compressor installed on a custom bracket. 2.5 gallon tank mounted under the bed. Quick disconnect air couplings mounted at front and rear of truck. Pressure gauge in dash. All the proper filters installed. ARB solenoid, regulator and switch mounted under the hood by the York.
The Bed:
Completely custom built by FullCircle. Outside is skinned in aluminum, inside of bed is steel. All skin panels are removable and replaceable if damaged. Custom high-lift mounting plate. Custom spare tire mounting mechanism. Custom tailgate with graphics. Bed completely powder coated. Mounts to the frame using the stock mounting locations, meaning it can be removed and dropped straight onto another MJ if desired. This is a one of a kind work of art, and you don't want to know how much it cost.
Misc.
CB, aftermarket head unit & speakers, reupholstered bench seat, full gauge cluster that works, aux electric fan on switch, new water pump, new thermostat, 35" Dick Cepek Mud Country tires with 90%+ tread, American Racing 15x8 aluminum rims, front JCR bumper with D-ring mounts and 2" receiver, custom 2x6 welded in rockers, dents and dings, professionally clearanced side view mirrors (no extra charge for that), and maybe other stuff too.
