Hello everyone im back again since 4.3LXJ suggested i do two threads one for my bf's jeep and one for mine. Here is mine she is not much right now but with a lil time, money & good old fashioned elbow grease, sweat, and blood (cuz if you dont bleed when your working on a car then your doing something wrong:hmmmm2:)Here she is in all her stocker glory for now HaHaHa

That is a nice looking Jeep Maddi. But they are always more loved after you work on them

[XjWoofy801]

she is loved no matter what lol. I'm hoping the cold weather lets up a lil so i can tear into her and fix all her lil quercks before i start thinking about a lift. but i do eventually want to put a long arm kit on her.

Great looking jeep, reminds me of mine when i got it. Ya got a nice one to start with by the looks of it.

Ain't that the truth!!!!

[XjWoofy801]

well new update sorry i haven't been on but gotta work to get that $, but Akira blew a water-pump and i had to fix it at a flying J trucker gas station and it took me almost three hours cuz some stupid drunk guy kept trying to grab my tools from me and try to help i had to refrain from the urge to just KO his drunk nonsense. but with enough snooty comments and another trucker stepping in and calling the cops for me i got it done and went home but here is a small pic of how she was leaking it was pretty bad:thumbdown:

Looking good! Pretty cool upgrades!

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 because my microwave couldn't do it

[4.3LXJ]

Wow, that dash will keep you awake at night :D

Glad you got it going Maddi. No good having green coolant draining on the ground. Might drain all the color out of the bezel :D

[bluedragon436]

XJ looks good Maddi.... Where did you get the bezel done, or did you do it yourself??

[bluedragon436]

XJ looks good Maddi.... Where did you get the bezel done, or did you do it yourself??

[XjWoofy801]

i did the bezel myself i did a coat of white and then three coats of electric lime. i like the do it yourself stuff, if i can do it that means on one else has to touch my jeep and mess stuff up. :)

[XjWoofy801]

Hey everyone im doing my lift right now and trying to take as many pics as possible along the way so far the only snag is my drivers side front leaf spring nut is giving me trouble i busted the weld on it trying to get the leaf out :banghead: so now i must cut my floor to fix it... UUUURRRGG! But as soon as im done I'll post all the pics i can from start to finish.:comfort: :xj-green::cheerleader:

[4.3LXJ]

Doing a bastard pack or full pack swap?

[XjWoofy801]

i'm doing a full swap i have a pair of leaf springs i got from rubicon express. the passenger side is ready to go in but i gotta put my boomerang shackles together before i finish with the passenger side.

[4.3LXJ]

OK, just trying to help you out if it was a bastard pack. Those can be done without removing the main leaf. To get that spring out I recommend a sawsall. Cut the bolt on both sides of the spring to get it out and then go from there. It will be easier that way. Be sure to oil the blade, it will cut better that way

[XjWoofy801]

o i forgot to say i got the leaf pack out but in the prosses of doing so i broke the weld on the bolt that is inside the frame. hence y i need to cut the floor but the passengerside gave me no problems.

[4.3LXJ]

Gotcha

[XjWoofy801]

Thank you for all of your help 4.3LXJ when ever i am having problems you are always right there to lend a helping hand :D

[XjWoofy801]
