I lurked on Naxja alot when I had my XJ (loved it, would consider another for an offroad toy) but I've been on Jeepforum and Cummins-swap sites lately. I'm buying an Unlimited Rubicon JK soon, and plan on getting into it with the 4BT swap or Isuzu 4BD2T. with mods 500 tq and 35mpg |
Ya man, I miss mine. I drove a 1962 404S (soft top/troop carrier) to high school. If/when I get another one, it will most definitely be a diesel truck but there BA none-the-less. I never knew it was a common occurrence with those trucks although I don't doubt it; you can't put anything on an XJ without attention to the unibody. I post over on CF and NAXJA mostly. A JK with a 4BT would be awesome. I've got a buddy with a LR Discovery and 4BT swap. Good luck with the JK; at least you'll have a frame this time.
Anyways, sorry to distract from the topic; please proceed.
