Thanks, I'm really wanted some snow but this winter has been so warm that I haven't felt like wheeling recently.

Yeah I don't blame you, busted knuckles hurt 5 times worse when it's cold out.

 

I worked on the 240 a lot today but I also finally got around to changing the oil in the Jeep again. It is a lot easier to get up under the Jeep than that little Nissan.

 

Awesome build man love the way the jeep is coming together nice work. And pretty stoked someone out there has my two favorite vehicles! Have always loved and owned cherokees and the nissan 240sx!! Great cars love the way they handle, a blast to drive. Is it a 1993, and how many miles?

 

Haha thanks, the 240 is a 91. I had a 300zx before and it was super sexy and fun to drive but the 240sx is A LOT easier to maintain and work on. The 240 has over 200k miles but it still runs good and I plan to run it till it dies, then swap it and run some more haha.

My old Z, I will always miss it.

 

Whew, just went through all the pages. Good build and great color.

Number one, eat something man, that PBnJ ain't doing it. You're like 125lbs.
Number two, shoulda kept that z32!

Nice pics of wheelin up in Boone.

 

Hey biggn, did you have to do a drop pitman arm with your 4.5 lift cause I was thinking about upgrading an inch and a half on the spring

 

Thanks

It doesn't matter what I eat, my metabolism goes through it like a fat kid through a bag a marshmallows. Doesn't bother me, I'm comfortable with who I am.

Wish I could've, but it was very impractical for a guy that is on his own and paying his own bills while putting himself through college. I needed more room and 4wd.

Thanks

 

Nope, I have the stock pitman arm. With the y link design of the factory steering you can safely and easily go to 4.5", you will have no problems. It is actually recommended to keep the stock pitman arm till you go to 5" and up, then you can just get a ZJ arm for a couple of bucks at a pull-a-part, it is 1" longer than the stock XJ arm.

 

Thanks man! im gonna do coil spacers, shackles, and control arms...should be pretty simple to accomplish come spring

 

Hah on the weight, just giving you some flack man... but the PBnJ ain't helpin (but dang if it isn't priced right!!!)

Also, I'm selling my Evo, so I feel your pain. It was a nice Z32, but you're doing it right.

The sad thing is, it doesn't get any easier. Just when you get to a point where you can buy what you want, your priorities change, family, whatever, and you end up back where you were.

Anyway, back on topic, loving your Jeep. I definitely think it is the best XJ color and trim level.

 

It was a beautiful day today, so we went wheeling for the first time this year.

 

There were a lot of other guys on the trail today too, this dude had an AWESOME classic Rover.











Grabbed some Geocaches too, one was by this really old cemetery.

 

After bashing through some mud holes the diff was pretty covered.



On our way out we saw these, they belong to a guy named Rick, he always has a bunch of awesome stuff sitting out front.

 

Carnage!

After we finished the trail and were getting back on the main road my exhaust fell off... again lol.





SO LOUD

I wrapped a clothes hanger around the exhaust and tied it up to the frame rail as best as I could to get it home. I'll work on it when I have some light and it is cooled off.





You call it redneck, I call it ingenuity haha. Everyone should keep a wire clothes hanger and a pair of pliers in their Jeep.

 

Ya the 300zx are a nightmare to work on so cramped, but I'm looking to buy another 240sx once I'm working after I'm done school and doing a rb25 swap. but anyway keep on posting! loving your build man!
