My past and present Jeeps (pics)

Post by xj »

Thought i'd pop up some pics of the Jeeps ive had, and for added interest, before and after shots of them, and what was done to them.

My first (and only) CJ
Image


My first XJ - Ltd
Purchased stock standard, and a little beaten
Image
In between I sorted a 2inch suspension lift, some 31s Bajas on ROH alloy rims, snorkle, and took the spare from inside the rear and mounted it on the roof. Added treadplate skirt panel. And managed to get a gorgeous matt black paint job on it.
Image



My second XJ - 1999 Sport
Purchased with ARB lockers front and rear, ARB front bar, custom rear bar, warn winch, a 2.5 inch lift and snorkle
Image
Added a treadplate panel to the skirts, 15x8's. Also popped another inch on the suspension lift.
Image



First TJ - 1997 Renegade
Purchased with 2inch sus lift
Image
Added 1 inch bodylift, 15x8's and 33's (and rebuilt the auto twice)
Image

Second (and current) TJ Sport
Purchased with 4 inch basic suspension lift
Image
Added the following: Front and rear bars, winch, quick discos, flat fenders, hi clear belly pan, SYE and DC driveshaft, Front and rear ARB lockers, snorkle, Adj front track bar, Adj upper control arms, roll cage addition, rock sliders, cool confederate decal, 1.25inch bodylift, 1inch motor lift, HD tie rod, diff armour, bikini/duster/windjammer alternate top, replaced shocks.... and a heap of other stuff....

your current truck looks like a weapon!

Why so many TJ's in a row? Aren't they all basically the same?
phone Ross Bolus (secretary of the BOP club) He'll save you.

Only two TJ's mate. One for me and one for the bride. Then I found her a nice 350chev in a VT Commodore, so her one (green) had to go.

Found a pic of the two XJ's together (the day the 1993 was sold)
Image

And another of the two TJ's together. (before i'd started doing anything to them)

"Looks" good yeah, a little too pretty for doing what we do though. In all honesty, if i had to do it all over again, I'd keep the first XJ and throw some more $$ at it.

Dont get as many "cool points" in an XJ though!

locked the front, cut the guards and popped 33s on, regeared the diffs, added a winch. Would have saved myself thousands.

Theres a reason for that too.....

Thought the plates in the first pic might have given it away.... tip for ya.... A big island (or is that a small continent) to our immediate west, on the west side of it...... but not all the way to the west of it, about 600kms short..... sorry, you dont like us mentioning the S---T word hey?

And the second pic... a tract of NorthPower land running out the back of a freinds driveway in Morningside, Whangarei. (but there were no river crossings!!)
