Matt C's Old Man DD Xj

[Matt612]

Picked up this 88 Xj about 2 months ago, bone stock, 1 owner, 4.0L, 5 speed, 138k. DD'ed it for a couple months, finally got time do do some things to it this week, figured I throw up some pictures.
Stock:

Picked up some ZJ limited wheels with 245/75/16 old style mtrs
Here is stock with new treads:

2" lift- super badass (definitely had it installed professinally )

After lift:


Plan is to DD it awhile and maybe take it up to Potts once or twice, if I decide to wheel it any I will most likely get some longer el-cheapo shocks.

Looks like it needs an add a leaf in the rear

and too bad you can't get some big white walls

[Matt612]

It sits pretty level, that picture is deceiving, but my rear springs are wore out. I have an extra set of leafs I could throw in, but I will prob just leave it for now.

If you go to Potts, maybe I can take the 4Runner and we can have a stock truck challenge.

Edit:

Also, that looks like a nice clean XJ

Looks way better now

Stock truck challenge would be sweet, we would definitely need a couple good straps or another more built vehicle for tug duties (maybe Alecs bronco when its done?)

In for a stock rig runbut we dont need no stinking bronco to get us unstuck.

It's looking better!
A shame you had to lose them white walls though

[Matt612]

Im game for a stock run, Krantz you can be our lead vehicle since you have an e-locker.

[CJonLP]

When is this run gonna happen?

[alk1174]

Let me get my sliders done and I will be ready. Might take me a couple weeks.

Y'all hit me up. My stocker has already been out there and performed really well on the half worn bridgestone street tires.

of course I did pull about 8 lbs of dirt off the tranny skid the next day. a few more runs and I should have the tops of those water bars knocked down real good.

Let me know as well if yall are making a stocker run up Potts. I've been meaning to take my 4runner.

Nice XJ Matt. I remember when my old 88 looked that clean. If you are ever in need of parts let me know. Between me and my old man I think we have enough to put together half a dozen pre 96 XJ's.
