1998XJSPT build thread!!
So the time has finally come! After having my xj for about 5 months and gathering all the parts I need, iv finally decided to start a build thread!
I'm a 19 year old father, still in highschool and on the budget of a restaurant worker., I bought my 1998 Cherokee Sport 4x4 with only 120xxx miles on it. Before I got him I knew I would be lifting my xj :gunsmilie: Current plans as of now are -RE3.5 super-ride w/ full leafs -Bilstein 5100's -SYE -31x10.5r15 BFG KM2 -Cragar v-5 (black) -cowl snorkel Future plans will be.. -5.5 coil springs -2in shackles -bedlined floors -nates4x4 nonwinch bumpers -33" KM2 -lunched & built d30 -8.8 swap or built 8.25 |

Here is how he sat when I brought him home
Attachment 188867 Attachment 188868 i trimmed bumpers Attachment 188869 & then took it out to play Attachment 188873 Attachment 188874 Ended up wetting my carpet :cursing: so I cut a section out, let it airdry, then reinstalled it. It sucked because I let it airdry all day, then the next mornin I woke up to the sound of rain :cry: ,took another 3 days to dry after that lol Attachment 188876 Came out pretty good I must say Attachment 188877 as time went on I slowly started gathering parts to lift my rig, got my km2s, cragar v-5 (3.75bs) and my RE lift Attachment 188870 Attachment 188872 Attachment 188871 At one point I needed a serious brake job, the pad ended up wearing down to bare metal and scratching the rotor up pretty bad Attachment 188878 Attachment 188879 Attachment 188880 Mmmm! Fresh brakes!! Attachment 188881 I got my towhooks installed and this is how he sits as of right now, been BPblasting hardware, getting ready to get lifted tomarro!! |

Subbed. It's been a few months, any updates? I'm sure it's tough having a kid to care for! I couldn't imagine having a jeep and a kid at the same time. What bumper did you decide on? (based on your other thread)

havent updated this thing in a while. iv got some different plans and ideas to do to the xj than what i had in the beginning, heres the list of what im thinking about:
-cut&fold lower rear quarter -tub out rear fender -comp cut front fender -shims http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...22d57b1ce2b153 -sleeve& gusset d30 http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch...egory_Code=XDT -regear http://www.rwkhaussupply.com/magento...-and-rear.html -35 km2 http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tires/35x...&t_pn=BFG07737 -wheel spacers -bumpstops -exo -oil pan skid http://www.quadratec.com/products/12022_904_07.htm -seats/harness http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...RIDGE-XJ-84-01 -diff covers http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/825COV.html http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/D30COV.html -LCA&UCA http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch...tegory_Code=UP -rear shock mounts http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...le-Shock-Mount -doubler basically im setting my jeep up to be a lcog built xj. i have a RE3.5 lift but with the exo weight it will probabally go down to 3in. and ill have 35 km2 and wheel spacers to finish the stance off. as of right now gears/shafts and tires are first up on the list, everything else is kind of floating around so if anyone want s to make any suggestions as of what i should do before what, feel free. would love to scout out a pair of axles for 37s but ill get this phase of the build done before that. prob hp44/9in |
