NEW LEASE ON LIFE (93xj2wd) build!!
 

Okay.. About four years ago I bought this xj
when I bought it, the motor ran great, but it
would not shift until 4000 rpm., I thought the
tranny was bad in it, I drove it like that for two
years. Then it started making this horrendous
noise in between the tranny and engine...
So I parked it.. It sat for two years..I was thinking
it was screwed.! Until I found these forums.. It made me
decide to fix the thing..

So here we go

as it sat.. I went and pulled a junkyard tranny

put the tranny in... I pulled it out and cleaned her up!!

it had alot of bad wiring so I replace the panel and wiring

I am hoping to put a small lift kit on it soon.and possibly
a cold air intake, then a brush gaurd if I can find a decent
price

Btw the tranny wasn't bad...I read on these forums how to fix it
check the tcu!! I just unplugged it, and now it shifts fine, manually
but my g/f insist on getting a new one

I also added two other brakelights on the top rear window

I also added marker turn signal l.e.d.s to the rearview
mirrors.. They blink with the blinker

I placed the IAT sensor on the breatherbox
and removed restrictor

nOt too shabby.. I think a 2 or 3" lift would suit it just fine

what dose moving the "iac" sensor here do?

I'm sorry IAT sensor.. And here check this out

I was also wondering if someone knew of the easiest and cheapest way to
lift it a couple inches..

BODY LIFT... jk jk. I would do a bastard pack in the rear and bigger coils/spacers in the front. Other options include shackles or AAL in the rear. I would not do blocks.

for 2 in lift you can get coil spacers and shackles. better to get shackles than AAL because when u go bigger and get like tire carriers and stuf you'll probly end up using the spacer to get it back up to the right height

The coil spacer hard to do yourself?
What about the deaf springs?... Mine look all
worn out.. Out of place kinda.. I'll post a pic to show
you guys and you let me know if I should
repair/replace!!

okay im sooo pumped i get paid tomorrow!! im getti a brake job and new shocks!!! possibly a lift with the shocks!!
