Another cheap XJ project

[SiRed91]

Dig the color on that XJ, I need to go hunting and excersize my aye are fifteen

 

[Zerkalo]

I am also a big fan of these budget builds. I was just thinking last week how much I think my boys and me would enjoy a budget Cherokee. In my day dream I painted it desert sand

Looks like I'm the only one who put it in action.

Did you build your own sliders? They look good too, I'm needing something to protect my rockers on my jeep before I totally destroy them

 

[SiRed91]

I bought them used, and I am certainly glad they are on the jeep hahaha

(sorry for the thread-jack)
I am a big fan of RidgidCo's sliders, he works out of a his garage in West Valley, call him, if you email him he will just call you anyway. Leave a message if he doesn't answer. www.rigidco.com/

The other thing to look into is Notch Customs is working on a rocker skin fox xj's, they are still developing it but they are cool you can send them an email to see how close they are to selling them.

(of course neither of these options are particularly cheap, all though I think RigidCo is fairly priced.)

[SiRed91]

Good link, any local xj help is great!

Need to start replacing bushings now grrr

 

[Troop92]

Looking good, man.

 

[SiRed91]

replaced the house brand blown out shocks with some pro comp es9000 and it likes them a LOT better. Now I need some front springs worth a spit and some new leafs. Gonna order new BDS springs and packs......then re-Gear

 

[SiRed91]

Might see if Eibach will wind me some custom spring rate coils.....

 

[SiRed91]

Updates since the last post have been 5.5 inch RE front coils and the double shear RE track bar, alng with a ZJ tie rod and adjustable uppers and lowers. New rear leafs and SYE installed w custom front and rear drive shafts. Another brand of tire in a 33 as well and lunchbox in the rear.
