This is the Jeep on craigslist before I bought it. Looked pretty clean I thought.



I then added a rubicon 3.5 Express SuperFlex, Moab Wheels, 32" MickeyTompson Baja MTZ's.


Other additions is the Putco Wiring Harness and Autopal H4 Housings(HUGE IMPROVEMENT), Alloy USA HD Ball Joints, New Rear Main Seal, oil pan gasket, water pump, valve cover gasket. Most all done by myself in my little condo single car garage, unless I broke something that I didn't want to take a chance at fixing - Front Brake lines...








Dirty Garage...

Things to come (which i'll update pics later) are Optima Yellow Top, SmittyBuilt XRC Front Bumper and bull bar w/ Smittybuilt XRC 9.5 Comp with Synthetic Line, Smittybuilt rear bumper w/o tire carrier.

Let me know what you think.

Nice looking gray XJ you bought good find.

Really like what you have done to it so far please keep us posted as you move along with your project.

BTW Welcome to the Forum!!

Bumpers are on along with the XRC winch. Project today has finished up I hope. Other than cleaning the garage. Bumper bolts were terrible. Stripped one and broke another trying to torque them down. Off to TSC for bolts.

Another thing broke as well... the 1st bottom bolt to the steering box.

What to do now??

Looking good so far. Gonna trim the fenders? Can't wait to see what's next.

I haven't done any trails with it yet. Planning on it soon though. I'll see then where I rub and where fenders need trimmed. Two things that I have issues with.

Rear fender is rotted out. Thought about just cutting the bad out and then using the smitty panels. You'd never know after that. And I have an awful creaking going on up front. Doesn't look like track bar. Retorqued and they hadn't moved. Sway bar bushings a shot. Might pick some up tonight. Any other ideas?
