The new whip...Bills XJ

[kracker]

well....i finally got rid of my beloved Yota...and traded for a semi built XJ...its got a few goodies and needs a few things but she'll do just fine in the trails. me and Dan(CT7672) and his wife went up to massachussetts today to pick it up...so being that this is an XJ club now i guess i can kinda say i fit in a little more...now onto the pics...

BYE BYE YOTA!!



on the trailer..











even the pooch likes it!





so as far as i know...its got the d60/14B combo w hydro assist, H1 beadlocks, detroit/spool, 3 link front,4 wheel disc brakes, fox air shocks,38'' swamper tsl sx's which are absolutely mint...and theres more shit but i cant remember


What it needs to be able to wheel:

beefier master cylinder
psgr side shock needs to be mounted better
rear bumper reinforced
back glass/plexi
switch out smittybuilt for my Superwinch
motor mounts
oh and it needs to be lowered a couple of inches,but for now i wanna wheel so the above will be addressed first then over the winter im gonna lower it and get some spacers for the beadlocks so the tires dont hit the lower control arms...


I just want to throw out a HUGE THANK YOU VERY MUCH to my man Dan for taking the time to come with me and check it out and give the new rig a tow home...I appreciate it very much and thank you again...

Bad ass bro. Looks to be well set up. Just surprised the last owner never threw a skid plate over the gas tank.

[ct67_72]

I never needed a tank skid...until last week

No shit I've been following your build on Cherokee forums. Never noticed you ran with out one. Just go to show how tough the plastic tank is.

[kracker]

Oh, nice. It was inevitable I guess. I planned on moving it for a while. I finally had no choice.
