I like it! I've seen you around town before.

 

Thanks man. Went to hillsville this past weekend, will post pics tomorrow.

 

Nice looking rig. That's a hell of a place to start from. Is this your first xj?

 

Yes its my first xj, but i built my buddies for him, and have helped fix plenty of jeeps.

Forgot to bring my cord with me so cant post the pictures. But it consisted of getting 3inches of water on the floor. So carpet is pulled, floor is solid and awaiting raptor liner.

 

Welcome and nice jeep!

Looks good, My idea's/pointer would be stay at 6.5 and long arm it, get a sye and drive shaft. you can trim and fit 37's

I was rocking 35's on my worn 3" lift.

 

I may, im still thinking stuff out, only one thing at a time for it.

 

I hear that, Im trying to sell my XJ so I can fund my MJ build

 

Id love a mj, my buddy thats up at otc has one, just lifted it with a 3.5in rubicon express.

 

Nice! yeah mine is far from anything. lol I still need to swap it to 4wd and then lift and all that good stuff.

 

Slacking on pictures, but left front shock blew out, and motor mounts arent doing the best. One thing after another with jeeps.

 

Well havent updated in a while, had planned on buying a welder tomorrow to build some stuff for jeep, but the head gasket went today. So tearing the motor out and rebuilding it.

Will post pictures tomorrow

 

Well heres some pictures of some parts i bought today to start the 4.7 build

 

Well here is the donor 4.2 for the crank and rods for the stroker build. Was running just smoked like hell but ran damn good.
