Before and After

[old_man]

I thought I would post some pix up to give hope to anyone new to XJs. There have been some awesome restoration/builds. Here are a few pix of mine.

It's a 1985, at least that is what it says on the title. So many parts have been swapped, it would be hard to say truthfully what year. When I got it, it was on its way to the dump. It had a hole in the block and was barely able to be towed.

4.7L stroker on 35's, D44 front w/quickloc w/wristed radius arm suspension, D44 rear w/Detroit. Tera2low. All the bumpers, rails, and skids, I did myself along with the body work and paint. Only a couple of people have laid as much as a screwdriver on the rig other than myself. I did this buildup because even with frame plating, I wheeled it so hard that I taco'd the frame.

That's a nice looking rig. I had an 84 the same color when I was 15, except it was a diesel with a hole in the block. I never did put the time and money in it to fix it and then I turned 16 and was anxious to drive so I sold it. It is nice to see someone bring back a cherokee that is technically a classic.

[old_man]

I was expecting more people to post their before and after pix.

Before: 4:56's, 33's, 7"lift, D30 w/ lockright, 8.25 w/Detroit, drop brackets and short arms.

X1994J, did you do the hood yourself? I do a lot of body work and fab and was thinking of doing a cowl induction hood. Yours looks sweet.

i bought it used locally. Fixed it and painted it to match. I do quite a bit of body and paint myself, I've seriously considered using mine as a template and making some to sell. I'd have to get into the fiberglass world, i'm sure it would take some practice.

[js_customs]

I'll play...not as hard core as some of your rigs, but here it is anyway :)

this weekend i'm taking it out for its last ride, the body is falling apart from repeated beatings :(. she'll be completely stripped and retired, all the parts are going into a new shell that will be caged and plated fully before it ever touches dirt again.

XJ 2
No before or after, it just kinda... was. Didn't do anything to it really, had it for a little while and fixed the fawked up steering. Then it was stripped of the goodies (locked 60, locked alloy 44, 5.13s, 4:1, etc.) and sent to the scrapper, and has since been reincarnated into a coke can or a paperclip or something.

http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae329/mcantar18c/100_1809.jpg

That was 6 or 7 vehicles ago, but none of the others are XJs. The next rig will be though :D

[Lowrange2]

This is what it looked like when I bought it. I had actually put those tires on it off my old truck... It had some A/Ts on it.

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c284/lowrange2/93%20XJ/Random%20Shots/2483616_10_full.jpg

He has quite a few threads about that Jeep. Stump did you buy it while you were in Germany? Looks like a very long license plate on the BMW in the background.
