kinda new here ive been on this site before but its been awile since ive had a xj meet some of you before at reiter back in the good days i had a black 4dr with bright green xj painted on the sides and tsl tire tracks up the hood and roof then down the back.


i got a new xj for cheap plan on puttn all my old parts on and then some new ones. i got excited so i put the rear bumper on before i even took before and after pics so excuse the bumper.

i couldnt figure out how to add pics so ill just put a link.

my cousin usually heads down there every year with a group in his YJ. have fun!
 
well after some major problems with getting it to drive down the road ive got it halfway runnen ok to get down the road going to naches this weekend so had to be ready didnt get to take it to ocean shores so i went in my grand cherokee dd.
 
well finally got to wheel it and i miss my long arm so i think ill be swapping that in earlier then i thought. everything worked out well but things got a little hot so i swapped in my ford taurus fan and added two vents to the hood now it stays much cooler. still have a bad wobble down the road the only thing i can find that it is is my two new tsls they must be really messed up ive got them balanced then put 8 ounces of bbs in them now i can get down the road but they still bounce everywere.
