Well I am new to this site but am not new to other forums but I enjoy sharing my XJ with others and looking at others XJ's as well and in my intro thread i got some mention of people wanting to see more of my XJ...I bought my XJ a little over a year ago it was a bone stock 1999 Cherokee Sport in need of maintenance and repair from the second owner who took very good care of it but needed a down payment on a new car so i scooped it up for 750 it had 208k miles, auto trans, np242, hp30, c8.25, rust on the roof/rocker panels/ and rear quarters and i loved it:
first brought her home
wasted no time ripping out the musty carpet, the front bumper was so rusty from highway travels i took it off and started on much needed repairs:tune-up, brakes and brake lines, rear wheel bearings, fluids, front bearings, and then it sat until funds came around for a lift kit...
Lift time came i went with 4.5" Rusty's Offroad kit with full coils, shocks, track bar, adj. short lca's, 3.5" leafs with 1" shackles but as i went to bring it to my buddies my alternator and ac compressor seized up so i went bought new alternator, ac bypass pulley, new water pump and tstat and radiator, and did a new belt and tensioner pulley...
lifted with bald 31's
then i finally registered and insured it and took on some small projects as a jeep build can be a slow process...
hi lift under back seat
cut out and replaced rear quarters
rear Or-Fab bumper mounted (from my old xj)
