Just joined up tonight, love reading all the different threads and stuff, gives me lots of ideas.
I'm not much of a mechanic or bodywork guy, so a lot of the technical stuff goes over my head unfortunately.
My current rig is an '89 Limited. Little bit of background info on it..
I bought it about 8 months ago, 150,000 miles, original owner, traded it in at my dad's Volvo dealership. I bought it for $900, figured it was a steal as cherry as it is.
Had it lifted 3" at Les Schwab and they put their 31 x 10.5 radial A/T's on.... don't remember the brand (I really am not a big fan, they're not aggressive enough)
Anyways, so the I drove it for about a week, and then the damn thing threw a rod on me. A little research and 6 months later, I have an '89 XJ with a 4.6L built stroker motor in it. My dad and his service guys did a lot of work and research and a machinist did most everything on it. I just spent the money.
So, other then the big time motor work, what should my next steps be with this?? Its going to be my daily driver, and I want to have fun with it on trails and muddin', but I don't need this to be a serious crawler or anything.
