i'll start, i've been creeping around here for a while w/o introducing myself. i live in port angeles, stationed in the coast guard. i mostly wheel with people from work here on base and a few locals. my 2000 xj has a 5 in dpg hybrid kit with acos up front, 4.56 and trutrac in the d-30. sliders by kevin's, trailblazer bumper by c4x4 with t-max 9000 winch, kc foglights, rear c4x4 bumper with tire carrier, cut-out flares with rear tj flares all around, black schwab wheels, 33x10.50 bfg mudders, banks header, flowmaster 50 series, green durabaked inside, 5 speed nv3550, 231 with sye, d35 with 35 kit and detroit...which i'm selling...sale pending, i finally ordered all my stuff for my 44 and it arrived today from randy's. sweet skull valve stem caps, i think that's about everything. this is my first jeep and it has come along way. it's definately a learning process and i've learned a couple things the hard way...like 400 rustys flares that all broke on me the first time i went wheeling. or spending so much money on a d35, or having a detroit locker in a 5 speed manual as a dd. or the first 3 inch skycraper lift i had...the list goes on. i look forward to actuall going on a club run with you guys one of these days. -brian

Jeremy, I live in Burien. My wife just bought me a 97 XJ SE that had a tree fall on it. More branches than trunk. Bought most of the parts to fix it, now just need to break out the bottle jack and some 2x4's to do a little roof work. I plan on putting a 3" lift with full rear spring pack on and some 31" tires and stock gearing until I go bigger. Also with my first batch of goodies will be some recovery points.
I have met and ridden with a few of the guys and I am so looking forward to getting out there with my own rig and a shovel. Anyways I am hooked on XJ's and look forward to meeting more of you at the M&G on monday.

Hey, I'm Doug, live in Mill Creek. I've got a '91 with almost no mods thus far, but am building up a nice pile of parts in the garage. Got a set of 35" MTRs on black steelies, a pair of Trail Ready bumpers, a set of Kevin's Jeep Parts nerfs actually bolted on, an XJ D44 currently being built up with 4.88"s and an Ox by Avanteone at Auburn car repair, (Hi John) and a Clayton 6.5" Hardarm kit I just picked up last week. (Hi again, John) Plans include the Tom Woods SYE kit for the 242, matching 4.88"s and Ox for the D30, and a bunch of other stuff that will piss my wife off and alienate me from my children.
Looking forward to meeting you all at some point, hope to be wheeling the XJ by late Spring. I'm doing the buildup all at once, so it'll be another month or two collecting/building up parts, then a marathon install and break-in period.

Hi Guys,
I've been doing a lot of reading on here but not much posting. Here's an album of mine..
http://web.mac.com/oddie/iWeb/Site/Library.html
Picked it up last summer and trying to get it trail ready and also find the time to wheel. Its my DD from Everett to Bellingham. Site incorrectly says 17x8 which of course should be 15x8. IPF headlights are great! There are yukon axles and an ARB locker waiting for the D30 and I have an 8.8 also waiting - got to save for the rear ARB and the gears with install. JCR sliders are primed and waiting for paint and install. M8000, Oly4x4 Top Hat Rack and rear tire carrier are also on the shopping list. Spending more time on snowboarding than wheeling right now. Saw Ecksjay in Monroe last night...
Hope to wheel with ya soon. May the rocks be with you.

I've learned alot on this site in the past couple of years, and am sure that will continue. Until this point, I've wheeled with mostly Yota guys ( I know, you don't have to say it) but hope to make it to some meet and greets this year. I'm slowly but surely building up my 99 Classic. It was on the fast track a year or so ago, until it fell wayside to my newly emerging fly fishing addiction.....

You are in a great place for the camping and hiking!! Hiway 92 runs up to Granite Falls and take a left out of town to the Mountain Loop Hiway where trails and camps abound.

If you're gonna go through that much trouble, why not just throw an injected 305 or 350 in there? Those 4.3's only put out 160hp and IRC the 4.3 motor mounts are different because its a 90 degree v6 as opposed to the 2.8's 60 degrees.

I don't own or wheel an xj. I'm a Toyota guy. My wife, however, drives and wheels an xj. That means I wrench on an xj. Currently in the process of replacing a RE 3.5 with a mix of parts that will put her at about 5-5.5" with a used Rusty's longarm kit. Getting a D-44 ready to go under the back. It is getting an E-locker and 4.10s. The front is still a D-30 and gets 4.10s as well as an Aussie. PORC provided the SYE. Front and rear bumpers were built by a friend. I don't remember who built the sliders because I got them from the same guy I bought the longarms from.Some of you know XJOE. Find his rig and you have pics of my wifes sliders. We live near Port Orchard and I have met a couple folks from here on the trails.

Hi my name is Ben.
I have been sucking this site dry for about a year and a half. Much thanks for all the info!
I live in the spokane valley area, but I have also had the pleasure of living in Mukilteo for 4 years. Came to enjoy reiter pit back when I had a bad ass baja bug. I want to get back with my XJ this spring. BTW Is the river crossable this time of year? I am thinking not but?
I "assembled" a compilation of cheap, home made, and used parts (cept gears and sensors) about a year ago. The build took my ugly 1990 XJ from stock to about 7.5" with Waggy D44s, aussie lockers (rear first, front is on order), 4:88's, 35's (BFG's), RK 3 link LA, 93HO motor with renix ECU.
My next step is the front bumper including the MM8000 sitting on the garage floor. And the front locker when it gets here.
Anyways Hi to all and if you are in the spokane area and want to wheel let me know.
Ben

Yes the "stream" is crossible, but i'd recommend a lift just in case. There are a couple sections where crossing is good. I know the one your probably talking about, and a buddy of mine was just there last night, and was able to do it, he has 37" tires, with a 6" lift and it was half way up the tires.

Hey all! I am the proud owner of 2 XJ's 87 Limited & 89 Lorado. Both free, and worth every penny!! Ha, killed one over the winter rescuing the wife from an icy parking lot on Fox Island...so daily driver and parts car reversed roles. All of the parts I took off of the one had to go back plus tons more. She is up and going now though, just parts swapping, but I am happy with the results, even though there is plenty to do still!
I occasionally see a blue XJ in Port Orchard with a :NAXJA: sticker on the back...I'll honk and wave next time :spin1: .
Oh yeah, I'm Dave!

My name is Nick, I'm 21 and I'm an... Oh wait wrong board. I have a 91 XJ that I've had for 2 years. It sits right now with 6" lift, claytons long arms and 35" MTR's. Currently it has no rear bumper as I am waiting for THOR to finish my new bumper, there is a pile of Chromoly axles in the garage right next to the rear disc conversion, ARB locker and Anti Rock swaybar. All of which should be on in the next week or 2. Here's some pics of the rig.

Hello to all, my name is Lee,i live in Yakima.
First time member,first time post. Just bought a 96 Sport,130,000 miles,just like new.
plans for the weekend are to start on the 3 and a half inch RE lift,put on the new bumper i got from Trail Ready in Lynwood along with a warn 9.5 ti winch. Ordered a set of Cooper SST 31 -10.50s today so am hoping they will work out well. I plan to make my own rear bumper and carrier as well as rock bars. My main use will be for hunting and also a trip to Alaska and parts of Canada and someday soon start in Arizona this time of year and take the highest roads possible all the way to Alberta,kinda my expedition vehicle so to say.
I have owned several jeeps in the past,8 or 9 flat fenders,did 2 frame ups on those, and still have a 74 CJ-5 for jeepin and also a 72 Jeepster that is for sale-cheap- with a new 360,TH400,D20,44 w/locker,30 front,soa, never been fired,it just sits there. Its gotta go.
I will say i like the XJ a lot,wish i would have bought one a long time ago
Well ,enough about me :wave1:

I dont know if I should go ahead and jump in here since I had started a thread about maybe moving up there soon, but what the hay.
My name is Dick Breakey, as the username states. Im 24. From Texas originally but the last couple years I have lived in Pittsburgh. Just decided to get up and move one day and off to the North Atlantic Chapter I went. Up there is where I bought my first cherokee and started my build on it. Bought it for $340. It was a red 2door AW4/231. Between swapping axles, new floors, wheels, an assortment of new parts and maintenance under the hood(and a bunch of new tools) I had about a grand into it before my lift and tires were planned. Was a week away from ordering parts and thats when my fiance decided to let me in on a little secret, she didnt want to get married anymore. So a couple months after that and when we knew it just wasnt going to work out, I moved back to Texas. I had to sell my jeep and have been without one since then. Ive been on the hunt for a 2door 5speed around here but no luck as everyone that has it has the 2.5 under the hood and I wont buy one of those. Then a while back I met the woman who I am going to move up to Seattle for so because of that, my new purchase will be on hold for a bit. Its hard to drive two vehicles at once haha. Before the jeep I wheeled a full size 99 f150 on 33's. It was a reg cab short bed 5 speed. Went everywhere I pointed it given I didnt do any stuff past a blue or maybe single black. Camped up there all the time and cant wait to get back into that. Especially up there where the views are way better than Texas flat lands haha. I drink, I cook, and I camp. Pretty much three of my four favorite things to do in life.
Thats me in a nutshell. Ill be sure to let yall know when I finally make it up there and when Im ready to buy again. When I do buy again, Ill go red letters once more also. I was red the frist week I joined here and my membership just ended about 10 days ago. So until then, thanks for having me and hopefully Ill get to come out on a ride along before I move.

Hey all. I'm Brian. Located in the Stanwood, WA area. Just purchased my 2nd XJ ('98 w/3" lift on 17" Rubis), and am looking forward to working out some small bugs on the rig, as well as doing some mild mods in the coming months (my DD for now).
Looking forward to meeting some fellow owners!

Missed this thread before. Anyway, I'm Jim up in Juneau, Alaska. Rig is a 98 Cherokee 4.0 Sport that was front-end-totaled so the PO replaced the 98 front with an 89 front. Engine was saved and is strong. Didn't run and had various issues when I picked it up for pennies. Now it runs strong and has very few remaining issues. Needs a lift due to saggy leafs and basically needs a lot of TLC.

On my way back to the XJ side of things!
Well my name is Phil and at the moment I am finishing a zooki build. Plan is sell it when done and get back into an XJ. Have wheeled them before but moved to a Toyota then the Zooki. Well I have two boys, 7months and 18months, and my wife. Zooki is just to small. Glad to be going back to a Jeep as I am the odd one in the family with my dad owning a built TJ and a built CJ5 and my brother in a some what built XJ.
Plan for the XJ once I have it is 6.5 LA 35's and bumpers sliders and frame plating. Plan to step up to D44's before to long.

Hey guys, I figure I'd better introduce myself, after using all the great info on this site to get my "build" started.
My name is Dustin, and I live in the South hill/Puyallup area of WA. My XJ is a '00 sport with auto/4.0/d30/8.25, 4.5" RC lift, H&T SYE, and sway bar disconnects on the front and no sway bar on the back.
I am pretty much a complete newb to wheeling, but it seems fun the little bit I've had the heep out to play with it. I am looking forward to actually running a trail or two in the near future (as soon as I can make my mind up on what tires I want)

well im cody. i had an xj, then rolled it. started swapping the drivetrain/eletronics into a mj, then bought a zj to hold me over, then bought another mj that had been slapped together because the zj didnt like the road. anyways the new mj is close to being pretty capeable offroad/semi built so hopefully in the next month or 2 ill be taking it out more.
