Default My First Jeep XJ

Hi guys!

Bought my first 2000 Jeep XJ and now im hooked. Found this forum a couple of months ago and it has already helped me tackle many jobs.

The Jeep is 90% rust free with some minor surface rust. Im focusing on getting all the internals checked, replaced, or enhanced to ultimately get it off-road ready. I’m a total newbie though so im working on it while learning so much about mechanics.

So far I have replaced:
whole cooling system (except heater core)
whole a/c system (except blower motor and evaporator)
coil pack (RIPP Mod)
timing chain / sprockets
harmonic balancer
tie rod drag link / sway bar links
all fluids ( tranny, engine, brake etc)

I would greatly appreciate
any advice or suggestions on what to do next.


Thanks! Looking forward to becoming a part of this community

Looks good! How's the headliner? That's pretty easy to clean up and it makes the interior look a whole lot nicer.

Headliner seems fine. Looks like the previous owner rhino lined it, I may change it in the future but im focusing on the internals for now. Im currently working on creating my own trans cooler line adapters
