So back in July of 2019 I was missing my previous XJ and I found one with a blown head gasket for a good price. Normally I would not have touched it but I had an ace up my sleeve. My brother works as a mechanic for a tow company that is about 150 miles from me so he picked it up and took it to his shop. I sent him about 700 dollars in parts and about 400 dollars in weed and he rebuilt the motor and suspension. There is a hand full of jobs left to do but very mechanically sound I have one fender that has a rust hole and the drivers window and the seat needs a bolt or welded oh and the headliner... I feel like I am playing jeep problem bingo. Here is the list of stuff I sent my brother.

Intake manifold
Timing kit
Head bolts
Water pump
Head gasket kit
Kyb shocks
Moog bar link kit
Timing cover gasket
Moog sway bar bushing kit
Rough Country steering stabilizer
Battery

I got it back a few months ago and I am knocking off a few more of those flaws and It will be a daily driver soon.
I will post some pictures next time.

 

 

Is that the infamous =Dark Amethyst Metallic paint?

 

I think it is Patriot Blue.
