That's a beauty

 

Missoula, bought my 89 a few days ago, learned how to drive in a 94, i want to make it into a good trail rig. i really need a back bumper! mine is just.. mia

 

And the work continues!
Got the JCR rear quarter panel armor bolted on.

Started on the Advanced Adapters SYE kit with Tom Woods rear drive shaft.

 

New to the forum. Helena for school, Bozeman for work during the summers. No XJ yet been looking on craigslist. Test drove a nice 93 today, tranny went out getting back to my car during test drive lol. Waiting to hear from him about repair

 

what tires do you all like running in the snow and mud that we have here in Montana, snow as in powder on the trail not as much as on road, and need to be able to handle the ice on the trail so you don't slide off the side.

 

Ice sucks!
I use v-bar chains on my Dodge 3500.
Not sure what I'm gonna use on the Heep for Ice on the trail, but probably chains.

 

I'm look at the new stt pro from cooper tired, think I might give these a try

 

Checking in from Bozeman

 

New ball joints and front axle u-joints in progress.
Also getting ready to drill the knuckles for 1 ton steering set up.

1 ton steering from Serious Off-road

 

Well the guy did fix the tranny the night after i test drove it, ended up buying it! Now the proud owner of 93 XJ!

 

Congrats!
Better get comfy with your tools!
These things can take a lot of wrenching.
Finished installing my JCR gas tank skid and rear bumper yesterday.
The bumper came bare metal. I primed it then coated it with duplicolor truck bed coating.
Easy to recoat when needed.
The old receiver hitch WASNOT fun to get off!
