My slow XJ build

[Thumper]

I'm going to tear my XJ a part piece by piece and start over with a whole newer '94 body. No more '92 ugly beat up thing I call a XJ lol. Next weekend I hope to start tearing the other one a part, then I'll think of a plan of attack. I got a big compressor moved to my shop and I'll start to wire it up but I'll probably just use hand tools and a welder to put the new one together.

i need to do the same to mine lol. but atleast your trying and have the space to do such a project

I never buy anothers rig and keep it that way. Gotta make my own twists. This will be built by Shoecj5 and myself, with Skids Offroad built axles, but I'll be going with tons this coming winter.

[greanbeans]

yeah my axles havent failed yet so im good with those and my 38's probably just go with chromo shafts though

Your axles ain't failed cause they ain't seen more than a dirt road.

Your axles ain't failed cause they ain't seen more than a dirt road.

hahaha

Your axles ain't failed cause they ain't seen more than a dirt road. My mother made fun of my axles once.....once!:happy:

But I do believe those axles made one trip to Superlift, before the t-case broke.

Let me borrow the keys....:evil:

[greanbeans]

id like em to be atleast somewhat driveable so i can still get to work in it

[Thumper]

Well, my XJ is going bye bye tomorrow! We are gutting it to nothing but bare bones!

[Tweeder]

I've done stoopid stuff in Junk, too, no issues. But ya let a tire drop into a crack ONE TIME and there goes a freakin' ring gear! Makes ya wish the stoopid axle would break, but they ain't even twisted!

Update: I had a blown engine mount on the drivers side. I'd say it's been that way for a year, or since I bought it lol.

[greanbeans]

The donor! Needs a good cleaning inside but it's complete and will clean up nice. It has a sound bar too so no more speakers just sitting in the console lol.

[SUPERD]

you gonna put your old bumpers on too or fab some new ones?

[Thumper]

Since they are easy bolt on I'll probably use them for a while but I'll be making my own style. This XJ will be my biuld, I hate owning someone elses rig, that's just me lol. The axles will be the same but the rest changed. I'll even change the longarm up some.

[greanbeans]

i gotta see this here speaker bar. is it like the newer style xj's how its mounted up on the back

[Thumper]

They are hard to see from the saggy headliner.

[greanbeans]

yup just like em

[Thumper]

I like them, should sound lots better than two speakers in the center console that are magnetized and sticking to each other shorting out lol.

[greanbeans]

lol
