I'm hunting for as good of a condition of a stock XJ as I can find to turn into my ultimate jeep project and have run into a give and take problem..
I at first wanted to get either a 2000 or 2001 because simply they are newer and I wanted to find a something with as little abuse and miles as possible. But I don't like the fact that it has the LP D30, and really don't want to do any axle swapping.
So I started looking for the same condition 1998 or 1999 one WITHOUT ABS so that I could get the HP30 front and 8.25 rear..
And there in lies the problem. I have looked my ass off and can't find one without ABS, so I'm sure it has that D35 peice of crap. The reason I want to get the HP30 front and 8.25 rear is because I want to keep those axles and beef them up with the WARN manual hub kit, warn shafts, 4:56 gears, ARB locker (front) yukon shafts, disc brakes, 4:56 gears and locker (rear) and just keep those. I'm only running 33"s and want it to be capable without having to go axle hunting.
What sounds good to YOU?
