bout time for me to join i guess, lol
hello everyone,
new member & proud owner of 2 XJ's
for about 6 years i was wrapped up into drag racing ( still am a little bit, i still have the mustang haha) then about 5 months ago my grandmother gave me her old jeep cuz she got another jeep. i pretty much fell in love with bodystyle, and because of this jeep i also fell in love with the off-roading/camping lifestyle. this jeep has been in our family for 14 years; a lot of memories & road trips in that thing. i wouldnt sell it for the world.
my first one is a '88 2wd 2dr 4.0L auto, dark green.
it's got 270k miles, and it leaks everything..from everywhere.. but it still runs like a champ. the interior is ridiculously immaculate and theres not a spec of rust anywhere. everything's original except paint & radio.
i originally planned to use the jeep for a daily driver and the occasional weekend camping trip. well, my first night out with it, it took me & my buddies about all of 5 minutes to get the thing stuck up to the axles in deep *** sugar sand haha. after spending a couple hours digging it out and pulling it out with a quad, i decided i needed another jeep. so 2 weeks later i went out and found one.
my 2nd one is a '94 4wd 4dr 4.0L auto, olive green.
154k miles, 3" lift, 31" tires, o/r front & rear bumpers with drings. needs a few minor things here & there but it's solid and a hell of a lotta fun.

Welcome to CF, & to our world of off roading!
I'm loving the color on your rig, but if I could add my 2 cents. You should trim the front fenders where they hang down Hella low by the front bumper!

woah this was totally supposed to go into the introductions section.. haha sorry guys.
thanks for the welcome everyone!
*edit;
well since im here anyway; i do have a question.
the other day i went mudding, most of the stuff was axle-deep or so, a few times i got up the doors and got stuck, had my buddy pull me out no big deal. afterwards, when i left, for about 15 miles, the entire way to the carwash, the trans was stuck in 3rd. 2w/4w didnt matter, the shifter wouldnt downshift it. made it to the carwash and sprayed the living hell out of the undercarriage for a good hour, now its running fine. any idea as to what that was about?
also, i just noticed the steering gearbox has started leaking from the seal where the pitman arm attaches to. i found the seal kit and i've got the tools/puller to remove the pitman arm, can i just pop the arm off and replace that seal without removing the gearbox?

If I remember correctly you can, & if you found a place to buy that seal I'd say ya! Might be less of a headache to just do a durango steering box swap from the junkyards, vs fixing up a weaker box! I think there is a wright up on here for that. Check the XJ wright-up section!
