Ok so I picked up this 1989 XJ CHEAP. My plans are to wheel & build it on t he cheap. We call this, "Project Turd". The one thing I'm sure I wanna do is run 33"TSL's. So, I'll prolly be lifting it around 4" and doing alotta triming. This is what it looked like 5min after I got it home. ![]() ![]() ![]() I have street legal vehicles.....and it been years since I had a trail only 4x4. So I think thats the direction that this project will take. So, we chopped all the doors off. We plan on doing a roll/exo cage to help keep the body together. ![]() Of course we had to take it wheeling without the doors. Kinda suprised me what it will do but the open diffs suck bad!! Prolly gonna be welding the rear diff. ![]() Three wheeling the Turd ![]() ![]() As we end up doing things to & wheeling the Turd, I'll post on this thread for fun. Mods will be a lil slow since I just had to shell out $2,500 to my lawyer for my divorce

Yeah it really feels alot lighter without them. Crap just carrying the doors away after cutting them off they seemed heavy as hell. |
