As I said in the introductions I own a 92 4 Door Sport w/ 4.0 - AX15 - 231.
I bought this XJ 4 years ago for 300.00. It was a donation vehicle being sold for charity.
I watched the XJ sit on the car lot for over a month with the price slowly dropping from 1,800.00. I finally decided to stop in and talk to some one about it.
It came in as a non runner and there mechanic could not figure out why. I gave it the basic checks and found it to have no spark. Pulling the newly installed cap and rotor I discovered the cam sensor pick up was damaged.
I offered 300.00 and told them I would have it off the lot that day. They agreed but wanted the set of 10 holes off it it in return for another set of stock steels they had.
Went to the local U Pull it spot and grabbed a complete distributor for 35.00. After installation the 4.0 came to life and sounded great especially for having 300k Miles. Drove it home.
Now the body was straight and with out any rust. Interior was a little worn but still a good deal for a 335.00 driving XJ.
A year later I installed a Rough Country 3" ad a leaf kit I bought off CL for 150.00 Never installed. Along with a set of nearly new 31" Generals for another 100.00.
After three years and the toll of stock control arms and trac bar the front Ball Joints let go and wore the front tires out.
So I ordered all new ball joints 40.00.
Front Joints 23.00
RC 4.5" Long Arm Spring Kit along with RC Shackles. 1500.00
SYE and rear DS 350.00
Dyna star front Extended Front Bump Stops and a set of 1 3/4" Spacers 42.00
I also just scored a set of 15x8 - TJ Canyon wheels with 5.5" of BS. 200.00 (Have a good set of 30" wranglers Mounted)
So the search for a good set of 33" is on.
I'll be taking photos of all the parts along with a video of the installation.
Hope every one enjoys this.
