Project: 4th times the charm

[justtorchit]

introducing my $700 2001 xj
70k on the jeep itself, 10k on a jasper crate engine
drives amazing, never had a jeep where everything was solid while driving.

insurance company totaled the vehicle after being rear ended...
the only thing hit was the hitch so it ripped outa the frame rails....
somehow it slipped through the cracks and the title was never stamped... went to the dmv and registered it without an issue....




the one thing i found out last night tho...
dont wheel it with a weekend unibody... i got a little stuck and had to rev limit it at the speed of sound and hit the hitch on a rock really good.... the frame rails bent down pretty good now.





plans?...... one tons.... again.... fml

[Bigbike]

Are you going to try and fix the unibody?

[justtorchit]

yeh im goin outside right now and im gonna strap a chain from the hitch to my kubota, and strap the frame to my floor... and pull it out as good as possible for now... obviously when i go to build it that will be my first project... idk if i wana just plate it or wut yet.... we will see

[justtorchit]

I like where you are going with this... and sick price man... i thought i got a steal on mine but yours takes the cake.

[justtorchit]

Couldn't stand looking at it stock anymore when I had everything to make it cute

[Trailer Ray]

thats better. thats how i was with mine it was stock for like 3 days then i chopped the fenders and stuck my 33s under there with no lift, then after a little while i did the lift lol.

[Zullock Holmes]

[justtorchit]

So this is her for the time being,
trimmed up the fenders and threw some paint on



Now, the fun should begin within the next few months
got some planning and parts to buy
