Really interested in tire fitment and bumpers on this thing. Any more pics you could share? What was done to keep stock fenders and run 35s?

 

[Lowrange2]

Yeah, I haven't even pulled it off the trailer yet.

I went and got it last night at 8pm... in the dark... in the pouring down rain. I really haven't had a chance to look it over good. That's the only picture I have of it at the moment.

From a quick glance, the stock fender was cut and the factory flare was raised about 3 inches.

The person I bought it from knew nothing about it... but fortunately for me a buddy of mine knows the guy that built it and has put me in contact with him.


This is the original ad that the builder posted when he sold it.

NICE

 

[Lowrange2]

Got home and messed with the Jeep for a bit.

Unloaded it off the Jeep.

Needs two doors.

Checked out some stuff under the front. (I JUST noticed it's missing the passenger side UCA)

Yanked the flares off. Emptied a couple cans of black spray paint.

Sorted thru this mess...

There was a battery terminal wrapped up in that. Then there was another cable bolted to it and run to the terminal... Not sure why. There was nothing wrong with it...

I also unplugged the TPS and it seems to have fixed the problem with it dieing.

Needs a lot more dents put in those doors before they're worth replacing, IMO.

I spent the day removing all of the "country" trim from the outside of the 94. Its going to be more of a sport than a country now.

I plan on polishing the whole jeep tomorrow then painting the quarters/flares. Not sure what color yet. Maybe black or charcoal

 

[Lowrange2]

Hmm, I like the 'Country' trim. (Assuming it was in good shape.)

The stripes were peeling and the quarter trim was doing the Jeep wave in the wind LOL!

 

[Lowrange2]

Ah, understandable.

 

[oefvet0910]

well today was very productive i got my tires rotated oil changed, front axle vent line replaced and cb installed

 

[RedHeep]

Left the lakebed today.

Saw team struggle Thursday night. That pretty jeep Tim took out is properly bashed. Floyd took it like a trooper.

27 finishers out of 129. Rosco earned a spot next year. It's something you just have to do.

 

[sparetire]

Well, I got lucky out at the Express Pull-a-part. So far I changed the fuel injectors, distributor cap and rotor, spark plug wires, tried to start it and realized the battery was dead. Duh, put it on trickle charger and decided to grind out some more one the interior rust. Then worked on the center console on the dd, super glued all the plastic back together. Then 3 hours later epoxied the glued sections for more strength.

 

[sparetire]

Part of the process, remembered half way through, " Hey, snap a pic". It was cool finding everything for once at the salvage yard it was needing.

 

[Cottontail]

Fixed a tranny fluid leak, realized driving and steering is kind of sketchy with a loose ball joint castle nut, fixed said nut, washed the XJ and WJ, and cleaned the garage. Good Fri/Sat. Now all I need to do is sell my MJ skid plate and the weekend will be a success.

 

[xjtrailrider]

I made some more progress on "Little Red" today.

I repaired some old deer damage on the left rear fender that was hiden under the flare. Some banging with the body hammer fixed most of it, primer sealed it up!

I started painting the quarters today. I'm going with a charcoal on the quarters/bumpers, silver metallic on the flares/bumper end caps

The polish/wax job is done as well. Six hours in polishing alone!

After the exterior is done I'm going to rip out the interior and clean everything then put it all back. After that, the low mileage 4.0 out of "Big Red" will go in to replace the knocking/ticking/leaking/smoking wore out 4.0 that is in there.

Nice. Good work. Looking very good!

 

[FlexdXJ]

I picked up my 33's yesterday, I'll have them mounted later today after breakfast and a birthday party for a couple of my little cousins.

Sold the white 87 and bought a Green 98.... Spent the day Saturday with Tim and Nick.... Had a blast!
