XJ????????????????????????????????

[xstream]

Thinking about building an XJ .What year and model would be the best ,giving wife the Tj so this would be my dd. 35\'s are what I am looking to run. also going to look at an 85 land cruiser (not a fj) I guess body is solid but motor has 312,000,
for $800.00 so we will see.
 Looking for your opinions please.

I got a zj you can build :)

93 with the 318

XJ\'s are awesome.

im runnin 31s with 3\" of lift on my XJ. im planning eventually to be on 35-37s. but to clear 35s you need 6+ inches of lift. ive had wranglers and they were nice, but theres something about an XJ that will make me probably never go back to a TJ.

hey Bill.. was wondering if you fell in your concrete!

[xstream]

Yea I have been very busy we have done over 150 homes in 08
things are slow now because of the weather hope to see everyone soon

XJ\'s are awsome and relatively inexpensive to modify, I was told the best year was a 99 because its the newest with the fewest problems. Really probably a 97-99 would be best with chry 8.25 in the rear. go for around 4.5\" and some trimming to fit the 35\'s.

[GTJake]

mines a 98

[fedrusion]

Really there are not alot of differences through the years, as long as your not looking at any of the 80\'s XJ\'s with the GM V6 what a slug.

[GTJake]

are you looking 2 or 4 door?

5speed or auto?

4.0 or 4cyl?

[xstream]

prefer 2 door , but does not really matter but the 4.0l is a must,not sure on auto or 5 spd.

i agree with fedrusion 97-99 for the chr 8.25, 4.0h/o, dual diaphram brakes.only downside they are more prone to develop engine knocks and rear  bearing seal leaks.

[GTJake]

ive been looking for another 2 dr. 5speed. 4.0 but there arent any. id like to have one as a DD and one for wheelin. but theyre REALY hard to find. let me know what you decide and i can search the auctions for ya

How about an MJ?
There was one in the Rochester craigslist with a 6cyl 5-spd for about $600

[GTJake]

is a MJ a renegade?

[fedrusion]

I think the renegade was a option package for the YJ. There\'s an MJ in canandiagua that I\'ve got my eye on. Trying to figure out if I can scrape together enough money for it.
