Well, I originally wanted an older ranger. I had looked for about a month, and everything I found was pure $#!%. Soon after giving up on the ranger hunt, I found this hunk of junk. 1991 4.0 automatic 193k miles on body, unknown on the engine, 4.5 lift, d30/d35 combo, with 3.55's. It just needed a fuel pump. Got it for 1000$. same day I brought it home, I had it tore apart, getting it ready to put my lift on it. As it sits now, it has about 7" of lift, on my old 33's. My buddy (pictured) helped me get the lift off, and other one on, and everything else associated with it. Wouldn't have been able to do it so quick without him eager to help lol. Here's pictures of before, and lots of after









my old jeep before I took it off its legs and onto those scary logs


Big plans for this one. I want to refrain from abusing this one, unlike my last one. Welding the rear axle, ordering a locker for the front, building front and rear bumpers, along with rock sliders, then possibly putting coils in the rear and stretching it. The last idea is going to be saved for another bank account

ALSO, do not proceed to bash me for my old jeep sitting on logs. NO ONE has, or will be underneath it. IF it does fall, its out of harms way from damaging anyone, or anything (other than the jeep itself). and I know someone will point out the cinderblocks under my jeep in some of the first pictures, they have jack stands sitting on top of them. I'm aware its also unsafe, but as before, no one was underneath.

 

What happened to the other one?

 

blown head gasket, clutch was burnt up, rear axle locked up going down the road and exploded the gears, back doors wouldn't open (unibody was tweaked, and doors were bent/dented), body was one giant dent, every seal in it leaked, etc etc.

 

Nice Heep. Wouldn't mind having a Cherokee as a wheeler

 

I like that red clay! All black dirt around us, Have to go about 4 hours north to get that good red!

 

Nice! I like lifted XJ's

 

Nice!

 

for the price you can pick one up, you can't beat it.

around here it varies from clay, to sand, to just plain brown dirt. clay isn't fun to clean up

me too. one of the main reasons why I bought another one

thanks!

 

Its big. Did you stop riding MX and start four wheeling?

 

nope lol. sprained both of my ankles a few weeks ago riding, so in my down time, I've been working on this. I'll be riding again shortly.

 

Love the JEEP man, would love to go wheeling where ur at.. whatcha think of mine?

 

 

LOL. a gas station and a flat bed. the two places i see them most!

(mild flaming of heeps on ranger forums is aloud) :)

 

my jeep on 33's gets better gas mileage than my stock 2wd 3.0 ranger

 

haha i wish mine got the gas mileage my ranger does

 

Nice... looks like new compared to the XJ we started with!

 

Nice XJ, I would look into running a tranny cooler and temp guage. Swap the d35 out for a 8.8 l/s.

 

thanks. I'm not new to xj's btw I'm going to run the d35 till I breaks, then swap in my c8.25 till I can afford Dana 60's. I'm ordering a locker for the d30 tomorrow.

 

you wanna see tweaked and how to fix it? here ya go my buddies XJ on TONS

Thats rights a Hi-Jack

oh and a full pic of the rig

 

nice.

 

yeah thats sick!!

 

ordered a spartan locker for the front. welding the rear tomorrow. I'm aware it's not going to last long, but that's the point in me doing it. I found some dana 60's for sale I might pick up. so stoked.

 

dana 60 full floater or semi?

 

full float.
