    Default im back with another xj!!!

    sold the mustang and picked up another xj.

    got a rockn deal on it. 1700 bones

    the good: no rust, paint is near perfect, 1 small dent behind the rear quarter window, everything works perfect, has some kind of 4ish " lift, and he inlcuded a set of decent 31x11.5x15 super swamper tsl's.

    the bad: drives like sh!t!!. Def needs a adj. track bar, steering stabilizer is stock and leaking/wore out, rear leafs are the flattest ones i've ever seen (they used blocks in the rear) and sway bar end links are m.i.a on the front. lol oh yeah, rear doors were stuck shut. Got dude to come down 100 since he didnt tell me about it and i didnt even think about checking. They now open and close fine, stupid child safty lock bs.

    But this thing is super clean, runs and shifts good and transfer case works great.

    so there it is. getting ready to order some soft 8's for the tsl's and all the other parts i need to make it stable on the road.

    ill get better pics whenever it stops raining but heres a crappy cell phone shot

    Only plans for right now are to get the parts on that ordered and the tsl's on. As money allows going to replace the flat rear leafs, then go with diffrent front springs. By next spring i hope to be sitting on 33's.

    Tomorrow night im going to start bedlining the floors, then some time this coming week cut the front fenders and cut and fold the rear.

    got the soft 8's and tsl's thrown on it. These things are pretty wore but i was impressed with them just taking them down my back yard.

    Got one fender trimmed. Reallyx100 wish i didnt take the flares off yet and start trimming. I have enough room for now to run the flares but i guess sh!t happens. Less work to do when i go 33's.

    Got my stabilizer and quick disco's thrown on last night. All that i really need to do now is trim the other fender, going to go ahead and cut and fold the rear, Take the lights off the roof and plug the hole the drilled for the wiring in the roof (idiots), and put on my c4x4.com tow hooks when they come in. Im going to roll with whatever lift is on it for now until i get some loot for something better. It doesnt flex that great i guess because of the short shocks . But it doesnt look bad and runs good.
