Picked up a new project. 88 XJ - 4.0L AW4 NP242 D30/D35

Plans Include: 1"-3" Spacer Lift w/Add A Leaf, 31"-33" Tires (w/necessary fender trimming), 8.8 Exploder Rear Axle, 4.10 - 4.88 Gears, Box 4 Rocks Crawl Box. Plus I do just happen to have a SBC 350/350 combo sitting on a stand just waiting for a nice home if the motor or trans decides to ive up the ghost :)







 
All white and virginal.......be easy with her
LOL
 
That thing looks sweet...kinda like my did before i took er' wheeling!
You prolly know this already, Stiffen here,stiffen there...just fix the steering box w/brace and weld on bracket..that is a very weak spot. But I'm betting you know that already.:driver:
 
lol if that 350/350 needs a home, if got a landcruiser motor i'm willing to orphane!
 
Lookin good, John! I just saw this, wondering if you have gotten anything done with it since we spoke?

I can tell you one thing, you WILL have fun wheeling this jeep. When we spoke, i was actually driving home from uwharrie, comanche in tow. There were a few times that day i wondered how i ever drove my little XJ in those spots, but also though about how much dang fun it was. Now i just have to find bigger rocks, but i had a blast in my XJ.
 
I put a 2" spacer lift on it today. Teraflex kit, front coil spacers and rear blocks. Fellow on this board had it and I picked it up on the way back to Greensboro from Brooklyn yesterday.

Hooking up with some 33"s this week and it'll be ready to go for the DPG event until I get the crawl box done :)
