Project XJ

[Jeff]

Jeff, would it bother you to keep a Price Paid + Source + Running Total for parts you put on it? I don't care how much you paid for the jeep, but I'd like to keep track on what you've spent post purchase, as I want to do an XJ someday.

Sure. I'll start that now, I wanted to anyway. I am trying to keep it cheap because resale is an ultimate goal. I really need a truck, so I plan to sell or trade it later. I just got such a smokin' deal I went with this. The goal is a 3in lift, 31X10.5s, full OEM skids, D-rings front and rear, and some lights....thats about it.

Skids (front two, still need fuel tank) - $20
2in Hitch, OEM - $40
Oil sending unit - $32
Lucas and GL-5 $30ish (I would call this a required job...really made it quieter)
Mopar roof-top tire carrier - $55

Got any decks that will fit one of these? I have this same jeep, and the stock radio in it is no good. I also need to find a replacement antenna sometime..the original one got whacked somewhere along the line.

Mine's got 186k and still running like a dream, including working AC. Nice pickup!

A/C in this one is ICE COLD. I really like it. Its a fun little vehicle and I have yet to really take it off-road. I plan to take photos as I do all the little installs and projects so I will keep everyone informed. As for a radio. I have some stock type CD players, as well as one nice pioneer premier I would like to sell. Pio has XM and shit. PM me if you are interested.
