I dont think they will look to small, I want some 33's badly. anything bigger then what I have now.

 

I guess we will have to wait and see how it actually drives!

 

And it looks like I will find out how it drives sooner then later!!

 

When you getting it?! Also I posted on XJOR fb a local forum with our private section I want all XJOR members to sign up. And it would be cool for all around neo to sign up!

 

Yupp I ended up just getting it shipped up here, its a local driver who lives in Strongsville and had an extra spot so it was pretty fair priced its getting picked up tomorrow first thing in the morning, and it should be here saturday afternoon or sunday
Also since I haven't gotten a christmas present from my dad yet, hes paying half of the delivery and he said he got me a few other things, the battery that he put in it for me, and I guess two other things that he said are in the Jeep and I will see when it gets here!! I am beyond excited, and very grateful to have such a nice dad

I am signing up for the new site now!

 

Awesome, we can look over it at that place in the evenings if you want. It's lighted and has some heat.

 

Well we could do something during the week but i am not allowed to "drive" it until I get the insurance put on, and get a temp tag which I can not do until Monday morning..
But when I first get it I will need to see what parts I will be surprised with and then I will probably just give it an awesome cleaning of the interior because I know that its a little dirty.

Also on the new site, I signed up, but how do I get access to the XJOR section?
Edit: A mod already did it for me!

 

Yeah it's private so you needto get access but it's done already!

 

So whats the word on the XJ!? ETA? Did ya get it already?! haha



Im going to pick up some 33's in a little bit! on steelies.

 

Very nice about the tires!!

Yupp it is here!
I was busy all day yesterday (of course the day it was warm) and I tinkered with it a little today, but I have an issue that I need to figure out what causing it..


Not sure why that fender looks so bad in the picture but its really pretty straight..

Before my hands froze I put on the new lift gate struts (one of the gifts from my dad) took off the camo visor covers and steering wheel cover, cleaned it up slighty, checked out some of the wiring for the lights, CB and PA system that need to be addressed, and fixed the coolant overflow hose that was kinking between the core support and hood, and adjusted the steering since the wheel since it was 90 degrees off center.
Still got plenty of cleaning ahead of me, plus some work...

It starts up easily, runs great, idles perfect, still has all the power, no stalling or sputtering at all, all fluids were good at first, and still good after the 20 minute drive, but its smoking a decent amount out the exhaust which is an aftermarket muffler back with dual pipes, and it didn't do it at first start up about a mile or so down the road it started, and continued for the 15 or so mile drive..

Thats at the idle, after the 20 minute drive. Since the motor swap my dad put about 150 miles on it, and it did this once, so he shut it down and started it up a few hours later and it was gone, and then the 4-5 next times he drove it, it was fine..

 

Nice! Glad you got her!

What color is the smoke? And does it smell?

 

I think its pretty white, and it has a slight smell, but not a burning oil smell though, its a wierd smell that I don't know how to describe..

 

Oh noes. White smoke usually means heads/head gasket. Hows the oil look milky at all?

 

The oil is still fresh looking, and the coolant level hasn't moved..
I am really hoping its not a head related issue....
And also it not consistant smoke.. I guess it drove fine for a while then happened once down there, then the next couple times driving it was normal, and now I got it and it happened my first time. I started it this morning and it didn't smoke anymore then a normal Jeep starting at 20 degrees but only started to move it closer to the garage so I don't know what would of happened if I kept it running.
Tomorrow my dad is talking to his main tech who was actually the one driving when it smoked the first time, to get his opinion, and until tomorrow when he talks to him, the XJ is on standstill other then some cleaning.

 

Damn, hope it end up being something simple.
