Hello from Scotland
 

New to Jeeps, having owned a fair share of old battered Land Rovers.


Been after an XJ for years, don't know why. But I really wanted a red one...


So I ended up with a Silver 60th anniversary XJ for a good price. Trim I wanted and has the 'lovely' VM 2.5 Diesel. Manual with a tru-loc on the rear.


Bit of a budget build, has a 2" lift and some 32" tyres and that's about it - more stuff in the post!


I've seen lots of excellent threads here - lots of inspiration!

Welcome, nice Jeep Chris.

very nice xj mate.:thumbup1:

Welcome to the forum. Nice jeep. Got a picture of the engine?

Cheers for the comments.


In regards to the engine it is dark here now, I shall get some soon - they are a bit of a rush install. I plan on tidying it up quite a bit myself.

Welcome, Nice Cherocar you got there.

Welcome along from further south, down in southend on sea.
Looks good.

Interestingly enough my dad is from Southend-on-sea but I have never been!


Some pictures of a VM Diesel engine install as requested.

thanks! I want a VM but there's none in USA unless imported. But that's expensive

Complete XJ's can be brought here for about £500 as MOT fails - then engine is not without its issues, cooling system has to be kept in top condition or it cooks the engine very quickly. And annoyingly it requires an ECU. I am toying with the idea of putting a VM into an 4 pot YJ - how hard can it be....

I'm not sure whats the dollar equilivent of a pound.

What's a 4 pot?

About 1.5 - so $750


4 pot - Must be a British thing (I apologise in advance there may be a few of them) by this I mean Four Cylinder.

ah we call it 4 banger over here. Lol
