Japple650

Hey I decided to start a build thread. I recently obtained a 1998 XJ Sport, upcountry package, 192K. I dont really have anything crazy planned for the future of this jeep. Some of my building of this jeep has already happened, a tree fell on the jeep so I had to repair that damage to start out with. So now Im focusing on general maintance issuses(axle oil change, tc oil change, transimission flush, all around u-joint replacement, fix exhuast, leaf spring replacement)
But after I get those things out of the way I wanted to make her a little more trail worthy. In the near future I would like to: ZJ tie rod upgrade, driveshaft U-joint u bolt upgrade, rear disc brake conversion, brush gaurd, reinforce roof,and more armor. Like I said nothing too crazy right now, since I plan on using this for trail fun in the summer and a beater for the winter.

A couple more pics of my jeep. Is that XJ sticker stock? Also almost forgot, the PO installed a nice little K&N air filter and the pics didn't upload lol. Darn app

So my front axle U-joints are barely holding up (clank when I turn, wiggle when I tug on em) and now take priority. So I ordered some spider 760s or something, along with the driveshaft ubolt upgrade. Also I'm going to try and patch my exhuast until my new CAT arrives. Pics posted later

Ghetto fixed my exhuast for now. I used a cheao wrap around patch kit and some duct tape lol. I know the tape is going to melt but oh well. Before and after pics. Also touched up some rust spots with some black rust restorer or what ever its called.
