XJ-92

ok so i have been on here for a long time and never had a chance to start a build thread so here we go. it will also be slow since im a broke a$$ college student but i do get things thrown at me to add to the XJ.

This is wht it looked like when i bought it. 4.5in lift on 32's on its sitting on 6.5in lift on 32's hopefully going to be 35's soon.

Its first winter with me was the great Chicago Blizzard and it didnt have any problems with the snow.

I went with a no doors mod in the spring which is great.

Here she is at 6.5in lift. also the custom cb mount that i made out of 16 gauge steel. it holds up great and have smashed into some trees and nothing happened to it.

so after a long needed repair. i got time to replace my harmonic balancer which there was only half the rubber left and was about to be gone. managed to get the new one on easy then the installer broke when i was on the last turn and was able to get the broken bolt out of the crankshaft. runs so much smoother now.

well i have run into a few problems recently...i need a new front axle as mine has a broken axle seal and the housing that is scored around the pinion bearing and cant be fixed. im looking for another dana 30 but if i can get ahold of a welder over my winter break from college i will be throwing a dana 44 up front.

Howd u get those lights lit up man! I wanna do that wit my xj!

XJ-92

it was actually pretty easy to do. i went to the farm n fleet but u could go anywhere to get it the power inverter that plugs into the cigarrete lighter. i got the one that is 120 watts. for the lights i went with 2 strands of LED lights both draw 5 watts each. then i went with a candy cane that lights up and cut a hole in it for the antenna to slide threw. i ran to extension cords one to the roof threw the back down and one to under the hood from the front passenger door. for the wreath i just zip tied it to the grill

Future

Damn how much is the power inverter

XJ-92

i got the inverter for 20 bucks and it turns a lot of heads and makes people and young kids happy and excited

Gee oh Dee

Looks great!

XJ-92
