And why is that? Lol

 

so u can be badass and unique in Minnesota!

 

Hello fellow Minnesotan! The Xj is looking good!

 

Thank you, I appreciate that!

As promised here is a pic of my new to me spectre cowl intake! The sound isn't bad at all in the cab, overall I like it a lot. Not bad for $50

 

Next I'll be needing some tires, may take the 32s off my ZJ

 

Nice mod! Good looking to boot!

 

Looks good man, your Spectre is a hell of a lot cleaner than mine.

 

As always, got working on the jeep and I found some rust. Always seems to be like that up here in MN. Anyways, the rust is on the front of the rear flares right behind the rear doors. So i may section it and put parts of a rear quarter on it, but I'm leaning towards this method.

Picked up a diff cover to match the rear. Got it off another forum member. In the next few days I'm planning to install a new track bar. I picked up a used IRO double shear bar for $50!

 

Nice find. I can never find anything locally like that.

 

That's how I always felt til I found someone 4 hours from me parting his jeep out! It seems nobody wants to get rid of them here in MN

 

Well I have bad news, after diagnosing a very slow coolant leak I have found I must have a pinhole in my head gasket. I'll be ordering a Felpro head gasket kit tonight, along with head bolts and a thermostat. Being I have the 0630 head I'm not terribly worried. I will get it machine and new valve stem seals installed. I will post more when I get it torn apart later this week/next weekend.

 

Got the wheels and tires swapped off my ZJ so I can sell that now. Right now I'm sitting around 4" on 32s.

 

Great Build. Looks good so far!

What LED light kit did you use? for your dash.

 

I bought all the LEDs from superbrightled!
