pingpong Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Well I went and did it again :eek: I bought another rig :driving: This one is cooler then some of the other junk I have. Its an 89 2 dr XJ with a 4.3, and 700r4 and a 207 t-case :???: The guy who had it went thru a divorce and can't finish it, so his loss is my gain. Did I mention it has a 3" RE lift on it Needless to say this is not going to stay that way. Since it is a FI 4.3 with a fancy dancy painless wiring kit, and it comes with another tranny (turbo 350) This engine, and tranny will be going into Pong, along with a few other goodies :wrench: LIke a Np203, and dana 300 doubler :evil: I am still trying to find a deal on a front 60, and some coil overs... so if you know of any smoking deals let me know ;) Its time for Pong to evolve a lil more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feerocknok Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 For coilovers, I'd keep an eye on prerunner classifieds. Most of the prerunner guys are running dual-rate c/o, and are constantly upgrading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druville Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 i love 2dr xjs second only to the shortbed mj. btw i had the same shifter on my camaro before i grenaded the auto and swapped in a manual. the ratchet is fun as hell to mess with. just push that sucker down and back a few times. the sequential shifting is very fun.

87manche Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I like how it looks painted up to the beltline. My MJ may just end up like that this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 If you are looking to change out the grille/front bezels it is exactly the set up I am interested in. Maybe we can work something out to trade with my complete black front end setup if you are interested.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 I all ready have a few rear d60's :eek: They are easy to find.. but what gear ratios are they? I pay that much for the right gear ratio.. with shipping shouldnt be so bad I will look into the pre runner ads.. As for the grille and stuff... I think I am going to get the 4.3 running, and vehicle driving before I decide what i am going to do. This is a reall y nice rig... and with a paint job would make an excellent street rig for me or the wifey. So I figure I might put this on the road.. then all I have to acquire is another 4.3 (in the classified everyday for lil or nothing) and I all ready got a Turbo350 (it was in the back of the xj)... We shall see... tommorow I hope to get it running before I lay down for my nap... then onto working midnights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Sweet find Pat. But WTF is up with those front hooks?!?!?!?!? Did the PO think it was a YJ? :D Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 He wlded tubing to the top of the bumper brackets, then bolted it to that. I am not sure of the strength as of yet.. I plan on hooking it up to my cherry picker, and if it will support its own weight I might keep them the way they are :eek: BTW got the t-case hooked up after 2 tries... I had it clocked wrong last night when I put it in place. I am stil trying to figure out a few things the PO did... I might end up changing a few more items to make it up to par by my standards. Something I leardned today.. Don't mix AN fittings with steel ones... THe PO must have had plenty of money cause it seems that he loved AN fittings instead of hard line.. only problem being he still used hard line in places with the AN fittings.. Talk about a PITA to fix. Tranny lines got plumbed... working on getting the t-case linkage and shifter cable hooked up.. along with finding where the wiring labeled "torque convertor" hooks up on the tranny.
