Hi all,
New JTR owner, but 20 year Jeeper (XJ, YJ, Cherokee Chief). I've helped build Cj5, CJ7, CJ8, YJ, TJ, XJ, Grand Wagoneer, M715 and others. I'm getting old and lazy. Can anyone point me to no brainer JTR things to do (ex. My 95 YJ came with a 20 gallon gas tank that had an insert in the filler tube that made it 15g, pulled it, clipped it and had a 21 gallon tank).
Also, I need slush matts, spray in bedliner, and a tonneau cover. I gave up a zippy BMW X4 to have a vehicle that was more then just a vehicle for the family, so making the v6 zippy is also on the list. Feel free to give me your biased opinion, link to your favorite thread, or tell me to go search more, I built and ran MidwestJeepthing forums for years and understand.
My YJ was for wheeling and my JT will likely be focused on getting groceries, but I want to do it in style and not come across as a Mall Cruiser.
Here are a few pics. I can't find a pic of the 95 XJ, but it had a 4" lift on it that ended up being 5". It had the standard 4.0, but if you changed the fuel filter, it acted like a v8. Fastest XJ I have ever been in. My YJ, XJ, and many of my friends Jeeps were built in my garage with a 220 welder, 220 plasma cutter, and tube benders that my friends bought because I wouldn't buy one . Lots of grinding!
Thanks
