Might want to consider a regear for those 37s. 4.56 or more

Alright, it's been more than a couple weeks. How's this thing shaping up?

I wouldn't simply from the heat of the engine. And the hood isn't stationary. But, there may be a work around. You'll just have to find it. Heat reflective products, wire protective materials, etc...

"IN" For the adventure.

2 things: 1: that's too much money in my opinion. In 2017 I bought a rust free 2001 example with 175000 miles. It only cost me $1500. Needed a bit of work but it's a fine rig. Unless you just want a cherry XJ, I wouldn't purchase it, especially if you decide to offroad it. 2: the...

You'll need it on hills more than anything. In which case the weight will go to the rear. I say rear all day every day simply because I've been there done that.

Not sure what it would go for up in the NW, but here in NC I picked up a bone stock 2001 with no issues sans needing a wheel bearing for $1500 in 2017. Had about the same amount of miles as yours currently does.

I cannot explain how much I like this. Awesome job, man!

This is superb. Great job. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I actually had a 95 montero. Did many things to to and took it places it had no business going. It always got me there and got me home. I sold it and got a taco TRD offroad. Fast forward a few years and now I have a 2001 XJ. Parts are everywhere and I've done a few things to it and with it, but...

I've been to flagpole. Nice place. It started snowing on us while we were there too. This was back in 2012 though.

This build is the shite my friend. Love what you did to the instrument panel.

That soft top is awesome. You should probably market that. The folks that take their doors off would throw money at you for one.

It's going to need gears and at least a Chrysler 8.25 in it because that D35 just won't do. You can find those relatively easy. I say find another mechanic and ask the folks selling the jeep to work with you on taking it to get it looked at. Most shops will look it over for a (usually) modest...

Ask about the gearing. If it's stock gearing with bigger tires, you'll need to address that.

Not me but really cool

Hood vents might be a good idea to help with the overheating.

I like what you're doing. I have an 01 XJ that I'm currently building. Just keep in mind that if your current gears are anything less than 3.73, you'll need a new D30 carrier (that's sized correctly) if you're planning in running 4.10s. Also NAXJA is a good forum as well! Lots of great...

I really doubt you'll ever overheat with that radiator. Nice!

Im excited to see this finished!!
