I realize that it isn't very fun taking your dd on the trails and then hearing a clunk, rattle, rattle, rattle like I did this weekend w/ my xj. I decided that I would get myself a dedicated trail rig at the auctions I go to for next to nothing and then have fun trashing it.
I'm looking to get a 1988-1990 xj in the next few weeks. First order of buisness will be to strip out the interior. I'd like to put 33's poss 35's on and I'm thinking about Rusty's 6.5" lift. I will also put some under body protection so I don't tear everything up. I'm greatly looking forward to introducing my xj to the sawzall.
I have never had a project Jeep before so I look forward to the knowledge that will come from doing the mods along w/ the help of my friends. I have mechanic friends that are building me a roll cage w/ their pipe bender and will be helping me along the way.
All that being said I now need your help. Where should I begin? Does anybody have recommendations for the steps I should take and what order?
I know it will be a long road and I can tell you that I'm looking forward to it.
I DIGRESS, PLEASE HELP ME, SORRY FOR MAKING YOU READ THAT LONG SPEECH. TO ALL THOSE THAT REPLY YOU WILL BE GRANTED LONGEVITY AND FRUITFULNESS OF YOUR LOINS.
