yeah, should not take more than 2 hours to install.

maybe if the 4.slow ever gives up ghost. but other than a lifter that is tapping like none other, this one runs like a top. but i do have a 305 laying around that was bought for my ZJ and never put in. but i do think the ZJ may need it sooner, as it is not sounding so healthy

it is was a v-8, i would consider them, not for long, but would still consider them lol. but the 6 popper, stacks just won't do it.

finished stripping the interior today. all carpet is gone. floor is worse than i originally thought, so i may end up plating the entire floorpan with 1/8" plate front to the rear seat, all but the tranny tunnel. still have to order my cage and my liner to coat the interior with.

decided today, after a little thinking i am gonna ditch my current doors. gonna re-make a set out of the same material, but make my mounts attach to the roll cage, so since the doors will be mounted farther in, i am gonna have to make the slightly smaller than they currently are unless i came...

yeah, gonna either roll on some herculiner, or buy the duplicolor arisol can spray liner. not sure which yet, have yet to price the roll on kind. and while the interior is stripped, gonna go ahead and order my cage and install it.

i plan on buying the pre-fab kit for s & w race cars. the 10 point cage kit. it will offer decent protection. then i figure on buying a coupld extra sticks of tube and modifying the cage to my needs, being my Xj is not exactly in stock form lol. my buddy has a bender i have access to so...

ask and ye shall recieve. best part is, the interior is already stripped for the cage install. :lol: yeah. i have always wanted to roll something just to see what it is like. its not like i am gonna try to roll it, but i doubt i will try that hard not to either. even now, i probably...

well, a flop is bound to happen. and it will be more likely once i get teh cage, as i will care less if i do go over. i know i am gonna roll it, just don't know when yet lol

why go through the trouble of adding hubs to a D30 and welding it. why not put in a selectable locker? locked when you want, not when you don't. and if you picked up a ford 44 out of an older ford for cheap, with manual hubs already. sure the bolt pattern would be differnt, but through the...

thats kinda what i am leaning towards. do the cage now, then upgrade the suspension at a later date.

so i have come to a crossroads in my XJ build. my heep has been hacked. roof was cut off and re-welded up so it looks like a mini extended cab pickup now. we all know, when you do this the XJ loses alot of structural integrity. i can buy a complete ready to weld in roll cage kit for about...

welcome to the site from the state to the north

looks like a great time. badlands is always a fun place to wheel. can't wait to get my junk back together and head back up there. last two time i have been up there i have broke before i got to try any of the harder stuff. i am dying to try some of those rock walls in the quarry, but alas my...

tore out the interior of the Heep today. getting rid of all carpet and anything prone to water damage. and figured out i stalled in a water hole last time because my fuse box was under water, which i assume grounded out the ignition. but here is what i found after pulling up the carpet...

i picked it up right before around thanksgiving, first time out was first weekend in december. has not been out in the same state since i got it, always done something new to it before each trip out. i plan on making a matching rear bumper sometime in the near-ish future after i finish some...

get out of here.:flipthebird: j/k. welcome adam. an XJ is an excellent choice for a trail rig. jsut so you know, not all 91+ have the 8.25 rear. it was only available on non ABS equipped models, and even then not all had them, some still had the weaker D35. and i am relatively sure...

now for the current/upcoming stuff. last trip out i got stuck, blew a u joint which in turn took out the T-case. upon recovery a LCA got bent. so, i currently am in process of replacing my cracked NP242 with a NP231. adding an SYE to the 231 so i only have to carry one trail spare D-shaft...

next, scored some FREE 33x14.5-15 boggers for the rear. the swampers were moved up front and the re-treads became spares. here is where the broke parts piece comes into play. first ride out, i destroyed the pinion in the stock D35. so it got chucked into the scrap pile, now a 29 spline...
