Hi guys I'm Kelsey. Ive been around xjs and mjs for years I built my curret daily driver from stock, which is my 2000 xj which is also modified for offroad. I has a clayton pro series 3 link suspension with 33" inch tire, moab wheels, swing out tire carrier and xj dana 44 rear end. I even swapped the bad 2000 xj 0331 head motor out for a 1995 block with a 7120 head and put a hp dans 30 in front. It has an overhead console with full leather interior from a limited xj as well as the infinity sound system. The jeep also has an onboard c02 tank as well as a factory ramsey winch i took off a 1990 xj. here are some pictures of my xj....
I also built my girlfriends 1998 xj from stock which features a 2 inch heavy duty old man emu lift with 31 inch mastercraft tires as well as factory skid plates and tow hooks. This jeep did not run when we first got it as it had a warped head which i replaced two years ago....
Now onto the imporatant stuff! I have wanted an mj for years and this one came along. I picked up this truck for two reasons...
1.the price was right.
2. I felt bad for the poor little truck.
This is the lame duck of the mj world. a 2.5l 2wd lwb with an ax4. If it were my choice i would have gotten a 1991-1992 4x4 eliminator with an ax15 but i don't have that kind of luck. Here she is in all her rusted out glory....
The important stuff is all there! taillight and tailgate are fine along with the cab corners! The bed will get a bondo job and i will rattlecan the whole truck so it isnt such an eyesore. one i replace the doors and floors i will stat buttoning up the interior with a complete grey swap from an older xj. It will eventually get an ax5 and np231 and pioneer decals. Here is a video of part one!
