Jersey Devil 2
1 Attachment(s)
This is my $300 resurrection project. After trading my built JKUR for a WK2 daily driver I found this XJ for $500 on Craigslist and talked him down to $300. Ran, drove and 4wd worked! Needed brakes, battery, and windshield. Had some rusted floor boards on the cargo area and on the rockers but the frame is rust free. Soon as I got it home the key stopped turning it on so I hooked up a push button start, put a cheap battery in it, did a basic tune up, and cleaned the IAC sensor and it ran great! Installed new hubs, new high pressure brake line in the rear and drilled and slotted rotors. Got a stinger tube bumper from a local shop called The Fab Shop in Berlin NJ and Engo 9k winch. I started getting all my lift parts together too. I'm not just buying a kit and throwing it in, I'm doin my own thing. Got Clayton 4.5 coils and ACOS spacers, Rustys R211 shocks for the rear(longer because I'm cutting out the floor board and runnin them into the interior), DB Metalworx steering box stiffener, DB Metalworx frame stiffeners, got an extra D30 and building it like a tank(synergy sleeves, ball joints, gussets, and cntrl arm skids, and artec truss, and Yukon shafts), Aussie locker with 4.10s, GM one ton steering, Ford 8.8 rear with disc brakes and LSD, got 35" Swampers, Skidrow engine, transfer case, and gas tank skids. Also did a Wagonneer header swap. Still need my Clayton 6.5 leafs, Liquid iron leaf sliders, Clayton 3 link, Rusty's R311R dual res shocks for the front, brake extensions, and SYE. Things are moving right along nicely.

looking forward to the progress. On the no start part, did you check to see if it was your NSS?

Subbed! This is going to be a good one. Solid parts list. I may have asked before, but I forgot. Any particular reason for the leaf sliders over shackle relocation brackets? I seriously considered those, but ultimately ended up going with no lift SRBs

Welcome fellow Jersian! Looking good so far on the progress. Keep us updated!
I would like to point out that your rotor is on the wrong side lol. The drilled/slotted parts should taper out when spinning forward, not in. :cheers: |

NICE job on the paint.
Got some details on how you did it? Like a step by step? Or maybe how you prepped it, tools used, paint used, how you sprayed it,....things like that? |
