sup guys, been trolling the forum for the last few weeks finally decided to register and today post something lol. im not new to jeeps i use to own a 74 2 door wagoneer witch i sold a few years ago, i loved that beast, wasn't the best on gas with a mastercraft 750 but she was an offroad cadillac.
a few weeks ago i bought my first XJ as a project, a 1989 limited for $500. lady i bought it off of claimed it was overheating and needed a new headgaskit, took it to my fiends shop and within a few hours and about 120 bucks worth of little things like a new heater valve various hoses and fuel pressure reg. and other parts my friend had from his parts XJ's she was running like a champ. few days later after all new tune up stuff she passed calli smog on her first try. everything works! she has the factory front skid, xfer case skid and gas tank skid. only needs little things like the headliner, some small electrical and cosmetics, only real problem im having is the abs pump is squealing allot when she starts and when i put my foot on the break. any ideas?
these are the pics from the day i bought her and brought her home, before i towed it to my buddy's shop. tried to clean the interior, ill get more updated pics when i start a build thread.
let me know what you think.

Sounds like you know what your doing or can find someone with a shop to help. Great platform to build on whether you want a DD or trail rig. Welcome to the forum.
