Hows everyone doing my name is Mike and I'm XJaholic.
I own a 92 Sport 4.0-ax15-231 this is jeep 12 out of 13 I've owned, and hopefully I'll keep it for a long time.
I purchased it 4 years ago as a one owner non running for $300.00. It was a southern vehicle and very well taken care of for it's 300+k Miles. No Rust at all not even surface.
After One year I installed a RC 3" ad a leaf kit I p/u local off of CL for $150.00 never installed including the shocks. As well as a nearly new set of 31" General ATs on stock steals for $100.00.
This combination was great for the last 3 years but the stock control arms causing the front geometry killed the ball Joints waring the front tires.
So this year I decided to put some money into the XJ and purchased:
RC 4.5" Long Arm complete Spring Kit.$1,500.00 w/rear shackles (mine are toasted)
SYE w/Rear CV. DS $350.00
15x8 Jeep TJ canyon Wheels with decent 30" tires $200.00
4 Ball Joints $40.00 shipped
Spicier Front shaft joints $23.00 shipped
so the plan this year is suspension and Interior up grades (remove rug bed line the floor) then spring of next year a set of D44's built to the gill.
I have a VW 1.9TDI that's ready to go in but I'm waiting until the 4.0 finally dies. I'm at 350K on the stock head gasket and no other major repairs The biggest to the motor was timing chain at 280K
