so here it is i haven't been too active on here much as far as replies just a active reader of the forum. figure this is a introduce myself and the rigs thread along with the current xj build. my name is donald im 20 and im from hanford ca. it will be a bit slow but thats what happens in the real world as you all know. i have a 2000 tj that i drive daily and occasionally wheel. and a few months back i had a family friend getting rid of his xj for $700 so i snatched it of course knowing exactly what i had planned for it. plus my girlfriend needed a car to goto school for a while.
heres the 2 jeeps.
so current specs on the xj
1986 cherokee
bastard pack 3-4" maybe lift
zj v8 coils up front with extra isolator and 1" aluminum spacer
33x12.50 15 bfg muds on stock wheels.
and the good ol POS GM 2.8 v6 :looser:
d30 and 35 with 4:10 gears and open carriers
what is in the plans for the next 2 weeks to get done:
Rough Country 4" short arm lift (arrives tomarrow)
hanneman fiberglass front rear and hood (arrives tomarrow)
cragar steel wheels (for now) those have arrived
flame plating (if time allows)
and what probably is complete opposite of keeping her strong is a chop top
Future plans:
full cage (most important in my mind)
suspensions seats ect.
F.O.A coilover front Shocks and Bumps
deavers for the rear
longarm front end
chevy 350 have one needs to be cleaned up and rebuilt plus need the rest os the drivetrain to handle it.
and more but for some reason cant remember?
so heres the current progress:
started with the chop top cuz all of my other parts are not here yet. and figure this was one of the most time consuming besides the frame plating. and of course probably the least important (oh well)
heres some pics ill have more once i get more done and my actuall camera is working.
hard to tell but that big black thing is the close out for the back of the cab.
not much detail really at this point except i cut her open now i gotta make her live lol. tomarrow my glass and lift shows up along with hopefully my new tierod? 4wp has been slacking.... anyways thats it till tomarrow cab gets its window and closeout done thursday. any questions or pointer besides it will fold like a taco let me know.
