Title: $50 Jeep XJ
Post by: Matt4x4 on August 09, 2008, 06:29:24 PM

I was at the auction today and there was a running Jeep XJ that went for $50 unreserved, I would have taken it but I have no where to put it.

Which Auction? Regal? The Red one?

Ya I think it was called Regal Auctions the one up off Barlow and 16th Ave, I forget the color, I don't even remember if it was even running. Someone can make money off it thats for sure.

I ended up buying a 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L, 4 Door, Classic Model for a great price. It only has 150,000 kilometers, with the typical belt squeeel and little rusty spots.

To start off with, I plan on buying winter tires, then over the winter I will weld up a roof rack, tire carrier for the rear and a front winch bumper with a Warn winch. I have a cheap winch that I will use for the rear trailer hitch.

Next summer I will install a lift kit, bigger tires, replacing the diffs and installing lockers. I might go with the Ford Exploder 8.8 Disc or D44's front and rear.
