Jon Snow (formerly Plan-C) The WAYALIFE XJ Build

[aaronstephen]

Eddie, you're making me miss my old XJ. looking forward to the build.

You should have told me I would have given you mine.

Well, I appreciate you thinking of me but, they wouldn't have worked. TJ's and XJ's have a different mount on the sway bar arms.

Gotcha. Wasn't sure.

Are you sporting the craptastic 35"custom" out back or the chryco 8.25"? Front's HP30, right? For some reason I'm thinking most all were HP30s, but something in back of my mind says a low pinion 30 was used for one or two years?

231 or 242?

What year did they finally get away from the Peugeot tranny?

I've thought about an XJ a lot for a third vehicle too. Would give it to my daughter in a few years.


Sent from a a few tin cans and some string.

Right on - my bump stop extensions and new JKS discos just came in today and now all I gotta do is find some time to install everything

LOL!! Got lucky and have a Chrysler 8.25. Front is HP30 and it has an NP231 attached to an AW4 tranny.

I believe I got them on Amazon.... pretty much do all my shopping there. Although, this might have been from eBay. I can look and find out but, all I did was look for an XJ 2" bump stop extension.

FINALLY! Progress lol

 

[wayoflife]

Okay, probably should have posted this up before the install teaser pic but, here's a shot of all the parts that are getting installed...

 

[wayoflife]

Okay, the front end is done and here's a shot of what it looks like with the new 33" Nitto Trail Grapplers installed. Yes, the fender will need to go and we will have to do some trimming but, I think this shot give you an idea of just how much bigger our XJ will be compared to stock...

Here's a close up shot of the front end...

Just need to remove the bumper end caps and get our new Bushwacker flat fenders in - waiting patiently for them :crazyeyes:

 

[matt08jk]

Wow, looks awesome.:beer: This is making me want to add an xj next to my jk! My poor wallet....

Can't wait to see this evolve.
