Team NAXJA/Petty Cash new XJ LeMons racer
I ran across a '92 2wd 5 speed XJ and just couldn't resist buying it. We're racing it at Buttonwillow Raceway this weekend.
![]() The lock cylinder was gone, and the steering wheel off, and part of the dash out, and the windshield broken, which helped to get it cheap enough. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Team NAXJA/Petty Cash new XJ LeMons racer
We stripped it down to just the sheetmetal, took out all the glass except the windshield, and started building a cage and seat mount.
![]() We're using the stock wiring and gauge cluster to keep it simple. ![]() Getting the yellow paint on first, and then the blue. And of course, the big wing. We got some Mustang GT 17" wheels, which will be getting grippy 245/45 R17 Falken Azenis RT-615K tires. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Nice! Pretty soon, there will be an entire family of blue and Yellow Jeeps all over the place!

Re: Team NAXJA/Petty Cash new XJ LeMons racer
Isn't the theme here "make people in sportscars mad by out-driving them on the track in an SUV"?
(while having a blast racing, of course)

Re: Team NAXJA/Petty Cash new XJ LeMons racer
They should put in small letters "unless you're in a BMW, then you just owned a jeep with a roof wing...."
And Richard, a clean set of Bullit wheels should go for at least $500. Makes more sense to sell them and get some $75 pony wheels. More money for your budget. |

Re: Team NAXJA/Petty Cash new XJ LeMons racer
I like those wheels too, just sayin. no sense in blowing your budget on cosmetics when you only have $500 to spend.

Just my opinion, but I think it needs an E30 theme.
