Well, I'm afraid the time has come for me and my XJ to part ways. My boss would like me to get a Bachelor's degree in Comp Sci, and will be paying part of my tuition - how can I say no to that? Basically I will be working full time and taking classes on weekends and evenings, leaving me no time to offroad my XJ for at least the next 2 years. I've decided that the prudent thing to do is to sell the XJ and get a reliable fuel-efficient car to drive at least until I graduate. I don't have room for 2 vehicles, and even if I did I wouldn't want to extra insurance and maintenance of a second vehicle that gets used 1 weekend a month.
Anyway, here are the specs for the XJ.
Axles:
Front:
- Dana 30
- 4.56 gears
- RuffStuff diff cover
- Aussie locker
- JKS MiniSkids
Rear:
- 29-Spline 8.25"
- 4.56 gears
- RuffStuff diff cover
- Stock open differential
Suspension:
Front:
- Rough Country 4.5" coils
- Bilstein 5150 10" travel shocks
- TnT Customs Long Arms
- JKS Quicker Disconnect swaybar w/ cable clips to hold them up
- All steering components are brand new V8 ZJ parts
- JKS SBS steering box brace installed
- RE Extreme-duty tackbar and bracket
Rear:
- Rough Country 4.5" full leaf packs
- Bilstein 5150 10" travel shocks
- JKS boomerang shackles
Engine:
- New 3-core all-metal HD radiator
- New water pump
- All cooling hoses are new
- All tune-ups and oil changes done on time
Brakes:
- Rear drum brakes recently rebuilt and adjusted
- Front disc brakes have new rotors and new Performance Friction pads
- Brake fluid flushed annually with vacuum bleeder
- All soft lines replaced with TJ lines within the past year
- ABS system installed but disabled due to rear axle swap
- Included but not installed are a pair of ZJ rear disc brake caliper brackets and calipers for use as cores - to install this you would need rotors, calipers, hydraulic soft lines, pads, and possibly e-brake shoes
Transmission:
- Transmission fluid changed on schedule with "poor man's flush"
- I have used Castrol Dex III in the tranny the entire time I have owned it
- Explorer transmission cooler added, plumbed in ahead of the radiator cooler
Emissions:
- Cat is original, but passes smog with flying colors each time
- Emissions recall performed, car passed all tests and has new flash program
- Both O2 sensors are new Bosch units
- Stock muffler was damaged offroad, it was replaced with a Magnaflow catback system with chrome tip removed
Lights:
- Headlights replaced with AutoPal E-codes with Philips Xtreme Vision +80 bulbs
- 10ga headlight harness installed
- IPF combo lights installed on front bumper with 100w IPF bulbs
Armor/recovery:
- BillyBar (r) rocker rails welded on
- TnT Customs bellypan (part of the Y-link setup)
- JKS MiniSkids on front axle CA brackets
- RuffStuff differential covers, f+r
- Aftermarket hitch installed
- Front tow hook attached to the tab on the JKS SBS
- Included but not installed is a stock fuel tank skid and brand new Mopar nutstrips
Interior:
- Husky floor mats front, rear, and cargo area
- Front seats replaced with ZJ leather seats, driver's seat has been reupholstered
- Sony X-plod head unit with CD player and 1/8" input jack
- Front speakers are Boston Acoustics 5.25"
- Rear soundbar with 6.5" Alpine speakers
- Speakers in tailgate have been disconnected
Drivetrain:
- NP231 t-case with RE H&T SYE
- Front and Rear driveshafts were custom built by Wenco in Van Nuys, and have been rebuilt within the past year
Other:
- Tires are BF Goodrich AT/KOs in 33x12.5R15, and all have good tread left
- Wheels are 15" steelies powdercoated silver
- Front is bumpstopped with hockey pucks, rear is bumpstopped with Daystar shock-mounted bumpstops
- Tailgate has 2 new gas springs installed
- Also included is a 48" Hi-Lift jack, a heavy-duty 12v air compressor, and a set of Staun tire deflators
The Bad:
- Engine leaks a bit of oil from the O-rings on the oil filter adapter
- I hit the rear bumper cover on a rock at Calico, the passenger corner is a bit bent
- I do not have a full-size spare or a mount for one
- The paint and body is in overall good condition, but there are a few scratches and dents here and there
- Front driveshaft has a light vibration that starts at 60MPH, I believe this could be corrected by adjusting the UCA length, but it was not bad enough to bother me so I never fixed it
Pictures:
And a poser pic:
The XJ is located in Simi Valley. I am asking $5,500 for it, but if you have a reasonable offer I would be happy to consider it.
You can contact me either by PM, or by e-mailing me at [email protected] . If you'd like to talk to me on the phone, e-mail or PM me and I will give you my number; I would prefer not to post my number on the Internet.
Any questions please let me know.
Thanks,
