Oh and that Mossberg was only $220 and a box of 550 rounds is only $20, so if you are looking for something cheap to shoot I would recommend it.

 

*facepalm* You painted over really nice and durable powder coating on the solid cover. Nice jeep though.

 

Umm yeah so?

 

a coat of paint over powder coat isnt going to make the powder coat any less durable....

 

Yeah I'm not sure what his point was.

 

A 702 is not any kind of version of a 10/22 I have one and it is a piece of ****. It is worn completely slap out after about 4000 rounds

 

The 702 is MOSSBERGS version of the Ruger 10/22, which is to say, it is a semi auto .22lr with a detachable magazine. You must have a dud or not taken care of it properly; everyone else that I have talked to have not had any kind of problem with it.

 

To say that it is mossbergs version of the 10/22 it seems like your saying it is the same action but a few different parts, kind of like other companies make guns on a Remington 700 action. And I take great care of all my guns and I am offended by the fact that you would assume mine is just in disrepair. I have talked to a lot of dudes and the 702 is definitely toward the bottom of the barrel when you are talking semi auto .22 riffles. I sent my 702 to mossberg like a month ago and they said it was fine but they must have some ****ty standards because that thing is worn slap out.

By the way your jeep is pretty sick dude.

 

I'm not going to debate with you about a gun in my build thread. Conversation over.

 

Where'd you get a solid cover for 65, if you don't mind me asking??

 

Directly from them

Thanks guys

 

Well I did it, I have sold the Jeep. Last week I sold both my 240 and the XJ and made a good bit of money off of both of them. But not to worry, I haven't gone far.

Thanks to everyone that gave me feedback and supported/liked this build thread, it was definitely the most fun I have ever had building a Jeep and creating a thread that a lot of people seemed to enjoy.

After I sold the XJ I turned right around and bought another. This one will stay stock for awhile, I have one year till I graduate with a Bachelor of Science and I have decided to liquidate and start fresh with a little extra money in my pocket.

New Jeep specs-
'98 XJ Sport
4.0
AW4
NP242
D30/C8.25
155k miles

No rust and runs like a champ. And it has so much power and stops so good! Haha, I've been so used to the oversized tires that I forgot what it was like to drive a stock Jeep.

A few pictures



Came with a lot of spare parts.





And is super clean







Well that's about it. Thanks again guys for the support, I guess this thread is finished. I'll keep an eye on it though just in case others have any questions about anything. Eventually I'll probably start a thread for my new Jeep as well, but for now I'm just going to enjoy what I have (we will see how long that lasts).

Thanks everyone
