Hello all! I'm new to the forum. I have owned a few jeep wranglers, and I've been driving a stock 1994 xj for the past 2 years. I just picked up a 1998 xj sport from craigslist for $700 bones. It has a blown headgasket and some other minor issues, but over all it is very solid. Pictures will follow.

 

Welcome to CherokeeForum Timmy! From Olympia Washington! Hope you enjoy it here!
Congrats on the 98!

 

Here are some pics of my 98 and what I have to start with.

 

I ripped the interior out to clean it up and to check the floor for rust. It's not too bad for a 13 year old xj from Pennsylvania. I think I'm gonna do the herculiner, then put the carpet back in after I clean it.

As for fixing the headgasket, I'm planning on just swapping my engine out of my 94. It is a low milage Jasper engine, and the floor is completely rotted out of the 94. Does anyone know of any problems with doing this? Any and all help/advice would be appreciated.

 

Great job! Thats just what I would have done, DIG IN!!! Lookin good!

 

Thats a nice find good luck with the project

 

I haven't posted on here in a while, but I've been busy all summer working on the Jeep. I got the interior all cleaned up. I changed out the engine. All new brakes etc. and wheels. It's been a slow process, but she is now up and running.
