View Full Version : Feeler: Thinking of parting out my built '91 XJ

I need to get rid of some of my toys, and sadly, this thing is worth way more in parts than it is as a whole, so I'm thinking of parting out my trail rig. Here are the specs:

1991 XJ, 220,000+ miles 4.0/AW-4/NP231

Engine was rebuilt not too long ago, but the bearings are questionable. Has great compression so the head is good for FI conversion on a 258

Trans shifts good

T-case has SYE

Rubicon Express Extreme-Duty 5.5" long arm lift

ACOS coil spacers

High Pinion Dana 30 front with Alloy USA shafts, tube seals, Yukon 4.56 gears, Detroit EZ Locker, and Warn locking hub kit

Ford 8.8 rear with discs, Yukon 4.56 gears and Detroit EZ Locker

Currie Currectlynk heavy duty steering

Plate steel winch bumper

Warn 8274 winch

Rock sliders made from all 3/16" boxed tubular steel

5-15x8 Soft 8's with 35" BGF M/T's-these were perfectly balanced by me to ensure the most accurate balancing using the least amount of weights. Weights are in the center of the rim to avoid getting them knocked off by anything. You can drive these at 70mph + NO problem. 5th tire is only good for a spare with around 15% tread left.

Factory MOPAR 2" receiver hitch

Factory fuel tank skid

I am gauging interest in selling it all, but I will not part out the lift kit, it must be sold as a whole system, minus the ACOS which will be sold seperately. Will seperate wheels and tires if I have a buyer for both.

This whole build has less than 500 street miles on it, and roughly 50 trail miles. The tires were used when I bought them, so they now have roughly 3,500 miles on them and are in great shape. Looking at starting to sell parts in early March, so PM me with any inquiries.

Thanks,
Mike

WTF? This the one at the crawl? So you are parting it?

Yes, that's the one. I haven't decided for certain if I am. I am just testing the waters to see if it will be worth it. I've got too many irons in the fire right now, and would like to pay off some bills. Besides, I'll still have the Flattie if I wanna go wheelin'.

If this won't be 'till March...I might be interested in the winch bumper, the winch, and the rock sliders...depending on prices.

Can you post some pics of the bumper and rails?

Any idea if the SYE would fit on a 99 XJ? I'm guessing not, but had to ask...

It will fit only if you have the NP231... but I think he wants to sell it as a whole unit...

SHIMS Katie.. did you not hear what me and Tim have been telling you..

There are roughly 550 miles on the lift, so it's basically new.

If I do wind up going through with this, I'll only sell the t-case as a whole unit.

PM me for any pricing.

LOL-I'm trying to REDUCE things, not acquire more...:peace:

But like I said in the post, this is only to gauge interest in the parts. If I decide that it won't be worth the effort, I'll just keep it and use it, and maybe part with the Flattie instead.

How's the ride with the RE Extreme-Duty long arm lift? I'm currently running 4.5" of lift with short arms and Rusty's springs. Thinking about going with the RE upgrade kit and keeping the same springs.

I'm currently at 7" of lift and it rides better than my old 2.5" Rancho coils/1.75" spacer combo on short arms. It rides like a Cadillac compared to that setup. I can tell you that I am not disappointed in the lift's performance. It works. Period.
