I just got relocated to Brookings SD from Ohio so I am kind of looking for some wheeling partners.

I have a 2000 xj that is lightly modified.
Pretty much basic stuff, I am not too hardcore.
2" homebrew spacer lift
Trimmed sheetmetal
Removable doors, for the haters
Hombrew LED light bar
4" catback with 5" dump, also for the haters
33"s
2" wheel spacers

Thinking about ditching the 4.0 for an OM617 in the near future (twist my arm a little bit)





Some with the old shoes...

Welcome to the forum.
Mind if I ask what's an OM617? Lol

A 5 cylinder mercedes diesel

That sound awesome. Should be interesting to do.

Welcome to the forum man!

Welcome to the forum! Please post some pics if you do that swap!

nice rig, and the OM617 is a grand idea. i plan on doing it myself seeing as i have a bad head and a AW4 that wont go into 4th.

this site sells the adapter brackets for a variety of transmissions.
