Well, thought I start my post for the XJ build. You may know me and my MJ but had to get rid of her for the XJ. More room for the kids. But Not looking back for now. So the low down is I kept my 33x9.5 tires and the heart of MiNi Beast. my 8.8 410LSD disks, so thats going under the XJ replacing the 8.25, mounting the 1 1/2" UBE and 4.5 RE springs. Front is getting 6.5" springs with the RK 3 link LA set up. The XJ is 2wd, but already has 4wd conversion started less the tranny and tcase. Which I have a AX-15/231 combo waiting to go in after the lift.
So my very first Jeep...89' Wagoneer
Then my MJ, bought for $100 down in FL and drove back to MI...

ME:

Then the 3" lift with the 31's...

Then maybe you seen me at the 9th Annual Clean up...

Maybe afterwards...

Recognize me yet...

No? Maybe when I got pulled out three times...?

Maybe you seen me out on the trail at the Fall Colors Tour of 07'...

member?








But I did at least get her up on 33's...

But shortly got the XJ and the MJ had to go...


So sold MJ and started collecting parts for my build...
Got my clear corner lenses from K2 motor, sweetness :rock on:

Sorry I wasn't having a moment. :sonicjay: 2dr maybe going bye bye so that will end those little desire feelings. Beside I wouldn't scrap it persay, more like blow it up! But the bed is to be coming off sooner then later, so may send the box there.

2dr sold so that bug is gone. Replaced tre seemed to help a bit with the steering. So warming back up maybe after another inch of snow so maybe get out other then on snow banks. :teehee:
