Going a different route now, after wheeling big blue jeep, last run a silver lake, engine got a strong knock . So I decided on looking for another Xj, found one not running. Long story short had a cps that was bad and guy replaced cam position sensor with a bad one and couldn't find where crank pos. sensor was so didn't replace that. I replaced it and put old cam sensor on and she fired up. Then I had bought built stock axles for my blue jeep and I'm going to swap all good parts to new jeep! And I'll keep posting progress as I go!
Axles are 456 gears Detroit tru trac locker rear and after market shafts and g2 diff cover
Fronts gears, Aussie locker upgraded steering
