[Cnickgo]

I agree good snap!

Got this in pieces and welded this at school :lecture:

Chrysler 8.25 cover from BlueTorchFab 1/4 all the way through

 

[Lowrange2]

How are you going to tighten bolts down with the welds all the way against the holes?

They will be ground down for bolt clearance.

Ah, makes sense.

Well this past weekend i bought my first XJ and have been burning the web up looking for good info on it as it needs a motor . I wish i would have done more research before buying as it is a 2000, and i was not aware of the changes/problems.
I think i will find some piston skirt in the pan will update as soon as i get the time to check it out. any info on parts from other years that will bolt up would be great.

Nothing wrong with a 2000.....her trailrig is a 2k and its been serving strong....when her 0331 head pops its getting a 4.7 stroker......


Shell have to keep up with a supercharged buggy when i finish it....shell need more motor.

Yeah sorry those mwc guys claim Ohio ;-) but everyone is welcome all over

May pick up another xj this weekend... blown head gasket...

Or a blazer with tons... idk what I want anymore. Projects are a problem for me.

 

[RedHeep]

I would appreciate it if all you folks that make Ohio jokes continue to think the exact same way you do.

Keeps out the riff raff

Painted er up

I got my RE 4.5" coils installed...wow! What a difference over the Pro comp coils.....jeep feels so much better...also gained about .5" in lift which leveled out the jeep quite nicely....now I just need to get an alignment done tomorrow...

 

[RoadHawg]

Got my hunting rifle sighted in....not jeep related but its bout all I did.

Turned this:

into this:

by moving everything to the front yard and stacking like this:

Had to tear it down so a pro can come in and do it proper - and "extend" the end of the driveway so that we can fit all of the vehicles so nothing has to be parked out on the street or play "musical cars". The big stack of bricks will slowly become raised beds for flowers & veggies!

Girl took some pics of my jeep on the highway today....

Lookin good dude! Glad to hear the new coils are making a difference for you. Uwharrie Jamboree is next weekend...come on down and hang out for a day or two!

Flushed and replaced the tstat on my XJ-waiting on a couple more parts before replacing everything since it's pretty fubar but works for now. Took it to a friends land to camp and drive around on uneven terrain (just been a mall cruiser as I've worked on it as time allowed over the past year).

Took my copilot along with me.

After the trail to my friends primitive campground:

Let's goto the range-4H and tried to ride off the ruts-didn't work. Glad I have recovery gear and don't go anywhere by myself vehicle wise.

Dried.

Broke the TC linkage and just ordered a Novak setup for it as well. Guess I'll have to put up a build/intro thread.

Got her 95% clean. Inside is next. :s

Jeep looks good! I used to live right up the street from Lake Wylie and did most of my errand running in Fort Mill/Rock Hill...feel like i've seen your Jeep around before.

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

Got some work done on the Jeep after work. Put it back in alignment, removed the ZJ fan clutch, and replaced the coolant temp sensor. Maybe now my temperature won't fall to zero for no reason, the Jeep won't miss on a cold start, and it will actually stay in a lane while driving. Initial road test seemed good...

However, I think the popping in the track bar has finally gone from "normal" to "it's time to do something about this..."

Had an alignment done today, tightened up pitman arm (nut seemed to have backed off a bit) and as I drove off, hit 45 mph and get a shimmy like a mofo.

Joints are good, tracbar is good, tires are good, cant figure it out, seriously lol.

Was slight before alignment, figured an alignment would tighten it up, made it worse. Crazy stuff.
