Alright well i figure i might as well start a build thread. This is my third Xj, I had one from 17-18 I rolled that one. It was a 1989 xj black 4 door 3 inch lift and 31's. I payed my fine and the loss of my Xj. I had spent a lot fixing it up and getting everything the way I wanted. So what do I do to fix the hole in my heart? I go buy another Xj. Started working at a local pizza shop and find a steal of a deal on a 1990 two door with a dented rear quarter. I replaced tires and tcase and drove the **** out of it like it was a little go kart. It was all stock and i drove it like i stole it. Then while looking for lift components on Craigslist I saw an Xj I couldn't live without. So i called the stealership it was at and they said they wanted 6300 for it, I laughed at the guy over the phone and hung up.... So i drove down to where he was later that day and took a look at it. I said to the guy no way was I going to pay 6300 for it, he asked what I could pay. I said I would do 5500 including dealer fees. He got it down to that and I took it home. (Me and my puppy at the time) It came full exhaust and 4.5 RubiconExpress lift and 32/11.50/18. I couldn't even buy a stock 97+ Cherokee for the price I got this one for.

Had this xj since November last yeah and here is how she currently sits. I found pictures of my first xj rolled as well. Sad stuff man.

Somehow my poser flex shot jumped in there so I am gonna upload the others as well. Yes poser shots but I work 30+ hours and college for 12 credit hours. It's hard to make time to play in the mountains.

I live in the Springs also. I think that I have seen you driving around but not sure. I have a white 97 that I just bought like a month or so ago. Got it for $4800! It's my first Jeep, haven't even had the opportunity to really get out with it yet.

Oh sweet the one that's blacked out? I've seen that 97+ xj but there are lots down here. If you ever want to go out and hit a trail or two give me a shout and we can work somethin out.

Fixed my MFS (multifunction switch) today. Took it apart and cleaned off all the black grease. Wasn't too terribly bad had it done in an hour after several attempts to have it all lined up right. Everything works and no extra parts haha.

is that d ring connected to the stock bumper?

99jeeprokee

No it's a tucked trailer hitch. Then a D ring hitch. I can take pictures if you'd like.

MudMann94

yeah man pics would be nice, thats pretty cool

99jeeprokee

Other than it being a pain in the *** to lock it in I like it. Saved me from a big ol peanut butter mud hole

MudMann94

thats a pretty good idea. did you drill new mounting holes?

99jeeprokee

It actually came on there when I bought it but it doesn't look like there was any drilling.

MudMann94

damn that cool man

It doesn't look to hard to build if you can weld
