well my old jeep (one in my avatar) has proven to just be waaaay to unreliable(breaks on about 80% of the trips, teach me to buy a car that sat for 5 years). so i had this old jeep i originally bought for a parts car for a wopping 250 bucks but then my brothers bug broke and he needed a car yada yada yada, its been a reliable car for the year weve owned it so i have now decided to use my old one as the parts car and this one as my new knight so here she is!

shanester

so the first thing i did was remove the hideous headliner :P more to come but i dont have my doner here atm nor my tools so this is all i could do :P but wed me and my friend are gonna start fixing up the engine, cleaning it up, new fluids ect

The White Knight

Looks like everything worked out well for you! What are your plans for the future?

shanester

well now that i got my taxes and sold my quad today im gona have a ford 8.8 with a locker and gears put into the back, also gotta figure out why it smells like gas so bad to :P after that replace the driver door since its really destroyed due to being broken into. then some lights on the pilars and paint b4 it rusts, after that i hope to save up and make her 4x4

breakkthrough

Definitely agree!

shanester

RedZeppelinXJ

why not convert it to 4x4 with stuff from ur old XJ? you already had the tranny, t-case, front axle, and cross members

shanester

i was thinking of taking the old xfer case and axel out, but it was a auto and this ones a stick and i would much rather have a stick so thats gonna be farther down the road. today replaced the driver door! doesnt match but it has rubber seals so it doesnt full with water and isnt all dented lol. and we horribly painted it but oh well lol felt semi productive :P

doorless!


new door



door installed


and a little flexing :P


then i had to go threw the mud, axel is deff next... lol getting ford 8.8 and a locker

shanester

Well i got it back from the shop today! got the new axel on it! so much more power! no more 307 gears! haha

shanester
