Xtra Jeep Build Thread

Put some 1.25” wheel spacers on it yesterday, bled the brakes, and finally got it to a point where I could wash it instead of just working on it. :D

It’s not quite “finished”, but I’m over the hump finally and actually have driven it around and put about 40 miles on it this weekend. Rides and drives great.

Clean. I mean clean. Fellers, I've seen this rig and it is NICE. I cannot wait to see this up for sale. The tek screws holding the side trim on are a nice touch.

Im taking bids for paint colors and seat selection. Highest bidder gets the jeep with choice of color and seats! :laughing:

Let’s raffle this one off.
I think this is an upgrade from the $30 XJ, so I’d say raffle tickets are at like $35 in 2024 dollars.

A day late and a few dollhairs short. For everything that's nice, there is a price, and for all you ballers, here's a stack of dollars. A forum member who's been watching this thread sent me an offer last night that I couldn't refuse, and picked it up about 30 minutes ago. :D

(those are mostly $20's, but it looks way cooler with the Benji's on top) :laughing:

Don't worry, it's staying in the NC4x4 family, and I'm sure it'll pop back up.

Oh man. I'm probably years late and a couple of hundred short. I was looking forward to seeing what he could do with it.

My vote: Fender trimming, 33s, 4.10s done.
 
Sorry Matt, I haven’t kept you up to date on my slightly less XtraJ lol. So here’s a quick photo dump. And yes, before you say it, CAI and TBS gave at least .021% idle HP.

To whom it may concern, @April Fools decided she didn’t wanna buy the XJ after all so I guess I’ll keep piddlin with it :D
 
Pretty cool it already has cruise control when you got it. People pay a pretty penny to salvage the clock spring and switches out of junk yard XJs the last time I checked.
