Thought instead of lurking around anymore I would make myself known a bit. My name is Joe and I am from Florence SC ..... I had a jku that was stolen and decided to stray from wranglers and build an xj this time around. Cureently dont even have an xj but am hoping to change that this evening as I am heading down to Charleston to look at a stock 99 4.0 4x4 sport that is gun metal pearl with 122k on her. If I end up purchasing her I will start a build thread. If you wheeled at ure or gulches you probably have seen my old rig



My plans are to have this rig ready for april/may

6.5 rock krawler long arm with rear coil conversion on Kevlar 35's on 15 pro comp bullet holes with 4:10 gears and lock the front .... obviously drive shafts steering upgrades ect ect with ruff stuff stiffeners ...

few pics of my old rig ......

 

Hi and welcome. so did you get the xj yet?

 

Picked her up today .... passes on the first one

Picked up a 00 cherokee classic with 150k for $2800 today 4.0 4x4 and clean ...... Will get some pics up tomorrow once I give her a proper bath

 

 

Welcome to the club! I'm up in Clemson. I have a feeling your jeep is going to be helluva nice!

 

welcome to the site... since you have a 2000 check the head cast # and see what head it has... also your jeep has 88-91 jeep Cherokee limited rims incase you were curious to know if you need any help let us know nice jeep good luck with it

 

Welcome from Raleigh, NC. We'll have to meet up for some Uwharrie runs next year when you get it built up

 

I should be ready for April when trails reopen.... So is Daniel going to be closed this year do u know. I know there was talk about it being closed for a
Few years to let it recover

 

I actually love these wheels and may keep them and have them redone and put the 35's on them..... I love the gold accent

 

I haven't heard anything about that. Haven't seen anything on nc4x4 either. But taking away Daniel would be like taking away half of the fun of uwharrie so I wouldn't see that happening.

 

Few guys had been talking about it last time I was there cause of how dug out the first ledge was..... I still hate that they took that tree out around the one bend was always fun trying to get around it hahaha

 

Dang charleston? You were like 10 minutes from me! Shoulda grabbed mine thats for sale, welcome!

 

I actually looked at yours 4 or 5 times .... I texted you as funny as this is an never got one back .... then I drove to buy the green one in Raleigh got on this forum that night and there yours was again lmfao ..... Do you have another xj or are you just getting rid of yours all together.

But I am not a fan of white as I have had bad luck with every white car or truck I have ever owned( wrecked every single one )

 

Haha yeah that tree was a window breaker for sure. Idk man, I would hope they fill it in during the off season instead of closing the whole trail all together. But seriously Daniel goes through changes so much from year to year.

 

I am a big fan of those wheels myself and that would be awesome if you put a set of 35 on those wheels never seen that done before... rare set of wheels now adays...
