So here it is!!! We bought it on friday Aug 22nd. $1600, only 94,575 original miles!
Blown radiator, and brakes are non-existant, but the wifey and I don't mind the work. Plus it came with a full tank of gas!
We've got some big plans, but for now We'll work on making it run perfect.

So I got bored yesturday and put my wheels and basket from my Bronco II on. That's Pilot my walker hound. He Slept on the back seat while I worked... Good Companion.



Some 255x75x15(30.05 inch)'s on some pacers. Good ol' steel.


And here we go!!!



So I've never replaced a radiator before, but I've got high hopes(and a chilton) Plus Pilot in the back seat...





Out with the old, and in with the blue.




Today was a great success. radiator works fantastic, and it only took me about two hours.
More to come tomorrow; brakes, oil change, mabe new rotors. And for some reason my stereo turns off then back on when I turn the head lights off... but now I'm outta cash for a few days. see ya.

Before and after with the add-a-leaf kit.


I'm takeing the rest of the flares off today, cause theyre still rubbing in the front on sharp turns.
Then I'ma take her out to taste mud for the first time.

Did I mention that I am the second owner, and the previous admitted to NEVER taking it off road! should I be concerned with the four wheel drive never being used? It seems to work fine. I guess I'll find out.

You got a good deal. I bought a '93 with 123,000 miles for $2300. Was a stripped down model with no power windows or locks, but 4wd works and no major problems with it at all. Put 1,000 miles on it since i got it in May.

Nice lookin' XJ. And that wasn't a bad price at all.

The bad news... So I took her out for her first mudding trip. bent up the fenders a bit, but no big deal. And I guess my transfer case is blown... haha.

The good... Just ordered my new flowmaster and catalytic. also may be getting a good used transfer case. I'll have some pics of the work up soon as i get the gear!
