Well folks, I have decided to sell my 90 XJ. Its a base model 4 door, 4.0 AW4 disco D30. Has AC but its never worked in the 4 years we've had it. Its not perfect. Has a cheesy 50/50 (50 feet/50MPH) paint job but better than the faced black that was on it. it is John Deere Yellow. I have a box of spare parts (sensors and such) for it. My daughter used it between Tooele and Cedar City. And it gets a bit better than 20 MPG. Located in Tooele. We're asking $800. PM me for more details and phone number. I'll put a couple pics up tomorrow. Would make a great first vehicle for young drivers, or a good platform to start a crawler. It isn't currently registered or insured, we haven't used it since summer.
I would like to point out that the crawler has moved from my driveway to the garage. Time to tear apart the t-case, put the oilier back in and put it back together. Then I will be ready to roll.......on my side again. Maybe another roll to the lid again

I'm thinking about going to let my wife get behind the wheel at 5 Mile Pass tomorrow (Rattlesnake) I want to try constrictor but I don't have my new lift or sliders on yet.

My 1 go at Constictor was on 3"'s, 31's and locked in the rear, I did make it to Eagles nest but it did cost me a tie rod and undercarriage damage, the sliders got a heck of a work out that day as well. Any less than 3" with sliders and I'm going to try to talk you out of it. I fully agree with Ryan though, if your going to try it go with a group, the likelyhood of needing a hand is almost gauranteed.

Do you have a trans cooler? how is the level? I would make sure it has the proper amount (very important) and a cooler with how hard we beat on them...
