All that matters is that its an xj, and you now have a project on your hands! Good luck with your project and never hesitate to ask questions on here, theyve helped me with alot of issues.

Finally installed my new cat today, but it needs to be welded in place tomorrow at my work. Right now its leaking pretty bad after the cat. It wasnt too bad to change.

made it back from Vermont, 500 miles round trip. Towing 1800lbs of snowmobiles and gear through the mountains, had that poor 4.0 to the floor most of the time. first time towing on the BDS lift, rode good and took the weight well, though I definitely need to regear to get some power back. 3:55s on 31s is a little on the high side. 3.73s would probably be perfect.

For the past two days put 150+ miles on her for New Years party with the family. Burned half a tank with speeds ranging 30-70 90 percent highway. She rolled over to 190,000 on the way there yesterday.

Thank you. I have been looking for a while for an xj that doesn't have major cancer, which is hard to find here in PA. And if you do find one, they want way to much money IMO.

Probably going to keep it stock until summer, driving it to see what all it really needs, then the mods will begin. Right now I am thinking 3" lift, 31" tires, and then I'll go from there.

Thats a great plan to see what needs to be done to it by just driving it stock for awhile! Im doing something similar but mostly to just save the cash to do it lol

I understand the saving cash part. That is another reason that I will wait until summer. I will ride my motorcycle saving gas (I get 55+mpg) plus can have time to have the xj not drivable for a few day while I do mods.
