I'm gonna retry a build thread now that I've figured out how to post pictures on here.

Well, I titled this 'The Cadillac' because that's what my aunt calls my jeep. It's a 1989 XJ Laredo with about 250k miles on the ticker.

Justly so!
It became mine after being my dad's for 10 years. He went and bought the XJ I was gonna get (though he only gained bigger lift, tires, and a high output).
It's got a cheap 4" lift that was installed about 80k miles ago and 31x10.50 Primewell PA100s that have 30k on them. The rubber's wrapped around 15x8.5 3.25 bs steelies that I wire brushed, bed lined, and watched the rust come back.
I've got some Hella 500s that I got for $10 at Walmart because the cashier messed up , and a couple KCs I found in the garbage at work.

I've also got a budget stereo. The HU is a Sony GT-250, front doors are pioneer 5 1/4"s and 6x9s in the hatch. I've got a Kicker Comp 10 with a Rockwood 300w amp too. The whole set-up cost me $210 and it does exactly what I want it to do

I've got more mods coming, just took off my manifolds today to find that APNs DO NOT WORK ON RENIX SET UPS!!! Also a Flow Master super 10 is awaiting installment on a 2.5" exhaust.

I'll post'em as they come!

Looking like a good start man.

I got a little bored today.





I'm kinda leaning towards snow camo

Cherokee.Dreamer

should try digital!

austinjoe13

I'd rather do my homework!! lol If I could get a guy to do a good job on it for $200-$300 I'd go for a digital snow/urban camo.

Got my Pacesetter today!!!



Does anyone know what this is? It came in the box of goodies along with wire, splices, shrink wrap, clamps, and some other stuff.

I sand blasted the header today. It came off like nothing

I found some rustoleum 1200* paint at school today. I just need another can so I can do a couple more coats.

5.5" exhaust tip? I think so! I slipped it on my dad's tail pipe and boy does it lower the tone Gonna sell my used tires this weekend then I'll have some exhaust money

Mr.goodtime

i found a header like that at the junk yard and almost pulled it but it was on a 4.0 and my jeep is getting a 4.2 and it wouldnt match i think.

austinjoe13

I think it would..... 4.0 heads can be bolted up to a 4.2 block to gain the fuel injection. I haven't heard anything about whether the 4.2 manifold is kept or if it gets switched along with the intake. Idk
Why a 4.2?

Mr.goodtime

4.0 was ripped out of the jeep before i bought it due to the computer getting wet, no doors or windows, the previous owner wanted to put a big block in the jeep but didnt have the skills to do it and sold the jeep, i bought the jeep for 100 and a neighbor gave me a 4.2 for free cause he did a v8 swap on his yj. that and now there is no computer. simplified. the 4.2 runs great or at least it did last time it was run

austinjoe13

Nice. You'll have to get a Holley 390cfm I almost got a couple AMC Eagles and that was my plan lol
