Default 1st Jeep Build

Hello fellow XJ owners and non owners alike. Name's Rich, I'm from Wv. Thank you for taking the time to stop and see whats new with the ole Coyote. I figured I would set up a build page to keep a record and to see what you all think. Looking forward to reading the insight from folks on here. Anyway - Here goes -




First day of Jeep being owned - went camping ^_^










Thank you salvage yard ^_^


























These are from February, but that is it for the first additions to the Jeep

new tires - July 2010




Then the Jeep was down for a number of months, as I much like the snow on the roof - got heavy sittin' around the house.

Just Empty Every Pocket in full swing so far this year



yep thats the replacement starter (that was less than 2 years old)

a month later...and 3 calls the mfg. and 2 to quadratec...
- EFFF mean green's "customer support" -

Thank God there is a quadratec!!!



new starter with totally different connectors - had to modify my wiring to work

AND i put on a new trans line ...




since the old one was rather crushed
due to stock ride height and sag



Lets not forget the install of the coolant fan relay bypass relay and fan clutch
Which I somehow lost pics of... >_<

Yes I do take quite a few pics lol

This past weekend, I took a trip to the bone yard and picked up some things I have wanted. Though I gotta stop going soo late. I gave myself 3 hours this time around and that was not enough. Saw black tweed seats with black trim, I wanted it but it didnt have the driver seat >_<

Anyway... Here's some pics- might start a how-to on this, since there isnt really one.





Gotta love factory tinted windows
