99 Red XJ Classic Build
Well, I went through a phase where i was really wanting another jeep to mess around with or be another DD, i already have a white 01 XJ 2wd :/ so i found this baby on craigslist, the body has almost 300k on her but the engine was put in feb of 2011, its an 01 Wrangler straight 6 4litre that has 135k miles on it. Runs good and 4X4 works. i havent crawled under it yet to see what axles i have yet. The girl wanted 3k for it but talked her down to 2k cash :) When i got it it needed a new drivers seat and a new headliner. i went to a local JY and found a whole set of seats out of a 00 XJ Sport for 100 bucks. Jumped on that put them in and cleaned em. Turned out good. took out the headliner today. I plan on getting a 3" RC Lift and 31 inch bfg AT (My dad works at Michelin and can get them free :smartass:) And some Crager soft 8 blacks. Ill update this as i progress. Im a broke college student who loves jeeps!

Looking good. Same lift I used to have. The AAL lasted about 7 years till it started sagging. Just installed new 3.5" leaf packs, and a 1" spacer up front a couple months ago. Rides a lot better now.
