Sal-XK's XJ

Well its official I just got her home. I bought the XJ off of A.J today. This will be my rock crawler crazy drive over it just because I felt like it jeep and the XK will be my expedition Jeep.

And there is that sweet SFA :)

It's on a 6" lift running 33" tires. I also noticed it has the rear drive shaft conversion so its a universal out of the TC and the slip portion of the drive shaft is now at the rear diff I was very happy to see that. :)

No I won't loose focus on it just heading in the direction I originally planed for it. Now I can make it an awesome expedition jeep, a self sustained jeep for taking those 30 day off road trips :)

Ya I have a few things to do to the XK and now I have something else to drive so I don't have to worry about getting the XK back together for work the next day it gives me options now.

Thats Nathans XJ...

And yes I was still grieving as I herd that open pipe roar over the hill into the distance, but she is in amazing hands. My next project will be pretty freaking awesome... As Sal and I said agree people like a certain body style... Im more attracted to the Grands... Minus WJ's. So I will be picking up a ZJ ptobably really close to town near Sal here in a couple weeks. There's a couple Orvis' out there I like. Sal and I are doing kind of an XJ/ZJ team duo build. Will be pretty sweet.

Yep, what AJ said! But in case you are not sure who this Nathan character is, that would be ME!

And thanks! After my 88 Suzuki Samurai this was my baby. Now it just sits and gets jealous of the WK!

Ya same thing on the other commander forum same crap over and over. The core group here are modifiers and wheeler s so there is something always going on. And being able to find information cataloged like it is here is a big help.

Bah! It's a trail rig, not a Mercedes! And stop it! You are washing away years of fun and thrills! At least put the Papertowel in a ziploc and mail it to me.

LMAO I do need to atleast see the trails :) on good note I think I found the two spots it's leaking from and should easy fixes. It needs a new power steering resavoir and oil cap new valve cover gasket. That's what I found so far nothing serious easy enough done. I really like that you did the slip yoke eliminator mod on this man just stoked about that.

If you tell me one more thing you like about the XJ, I will come down and hold my hand out for more money, lol.

Lmcao..........if you dont wash the old crud off, it'll still be AJ's years of fun on the XJ. Time to put some fresh "Sal" crud on that bad boy, then dont wash it.

No offense, AJ.
08-11-2011, 03:12 PM
AJeepZJ

But.... but can't he just layer some Sal crud on it???? And trust me - as soon as I start the ignition in a 5.2/5.9L ZJ - I will have entirely forget about her. But since were here..

Sal - I had a lot of 'firsts' in that Jeep, probably wanna go ahead and Lysol and 409 the rear cargo area, and the back of where those seats lay down... Ahh... good ole' highschool days.

Yeah I kinda neglected cleaning the XJ. I can honestly say that after the lift, I've only ever detailed that Jeep once. Most times I just rinse stuff off, or it will come off eventually on it's own.

All times are GMT -7. The time now is 07:27 PM.
