This is my next build...

My first jeep and I couldn't pass it up: Needs a starter, T-case and front driveshaft. I bought it off my buddy for a buck! Ran last year and has seen more airtime than Michael Jordan.

The costs so far are as follows

88' XJ 4.0L Auto ............................................ $1
NP231 Xfer Case w/ front driveshaft .................. $60
4.5" Rear leafs, front lift spacers and shocks ....... $70
Reman. Starter .............................................. $85
NOS F-150 Coils ............................................. $50

Total cost so far ........................................... $266

I have the parts, now I've gotta get her together! Just need a set of rear shocks and some 33's and I'll be golden! I'm excited about my first Jeep build. I'll try to keep everyone updated here.

You could have bought 366 Cherokees for that price! :sonicjay: Good luck on the build.

for a stock truck, that thing does pretty good. how many times did they jump it before it looks like the oil pan got a hole?

Update: Transfer case and driveshafts in, new starter in. Truck fired up first crank, with 260,000mi on the clock and after sitting for a year in the woods. Alriight! GO JEEP! I had all four tires off the ground within 5 minutes of getting it started!! Its going in the mud this weekend, then the lift and tires are going on. The rear is L/S and is still holding pretty tight.

We also made a little RTI ramp in the driveway. Front swaybar still has to come off.

 

[hoss]

Got 2" spring spacers up front and swaybars off. Painted it primer grey as well.

whos was that adam?

Ian, it used to be Matt McGiness's jeep, then kyle got it, then I got it.

 

[hoss]

got new (read as: free and very old) tires off a 50's CJ. They say 15-10? on the side of them. they measure about 30" x 10" I think... I dunno. they look good tho. Very rotted, but since it's not even licensed, I'm not worried bout that. A set of 4 for free, not a bad deal i guess...

Yes, I've seen some of the beating occur, and heard many more stories... hence the $1 price tag.

The carpet and headliner and rear seats are coming out soon...
