Light XJ Build
Posted: Thu May 03, 2007 7:39 pm
This is the wife's XJ we bought for $500. She is going to wheel it and use it the winter months to get to work when the roads are bad. Here is the write-up on the build we started in February of this year.
Here is the Tweety Jeep at Ceg Ranch Saturday morning geting ready for a ride to Scuba's in Sunnyside.
Scuba Steve, Colemancooler, Hercules and Test Dummy were all there to work on 99's XJ. Tiny showed for little while and helped put the front coils in.
Here are most of the parts for the 4.5 Rough Country lift kit we bought from Run at www.4wheelingplus.com.
The stock coil next to the 4.5 lift coil.
The mud flap bolts wouldn't come off so Colemancooler used a better tool.
Someone say Jeep?
Hercules shows us the trie size difference.
The Tweety Jeep with the 4.5 Rough Country lift kit and 31X10.50 MT/Rs on.
On Sunday we put a new rear main seal, oil pan gasket, oil filter and 6 quarts of oil in the rig.
As we were taking it out of the shop, oil started coming out of the oil pan at the tranny. We pulled the oil pan off and found the gasket had moved. We clean it back up and added new RTV. Scuba said he would get the oil pan on this week.
We plan to do the test run at the Slab on February 17th.
