The build on my '99 XJ!
Okay so this is what I've been working on for the past month or so. I picked up a 99 XJ with 2k on the body and 1k on the motor, about a year ago and finally decided to lift it with the parts off a wrecked 01 I have. It had the d30 in the front that I replaced, and the Chryco 8.25 out back. The front is all finished now I just need to finish up the linkage with the t-case, and get the stupid broke shock bolts out in the back, and get the leaf spring eye bolts out that I had to cut. Heres what I've done:
Rubicon Express 5.5"
33" BF Goodrich A/T
Took the d30 out of the 99 and replaced it with the one from the 01
Replaced the stock np242 with a np231 that had a SYE and CV driveshaft
JKS Quicker Disco's (that you can see hanging)
JKS bar pin elminators
Rustys Throttle body spacer
K&N air intake with Rustys mounting bracket
Black Cragar steel rims
Control arm drop brackets
Skyjacker extended brake lines
Slotted Rotors
and probably more that I'm forgetting, pretty much did a complete overhaul on this Jeep. Cant wait to have it done!! Heres some pics for your pleasure.
