Vassago's 2001 LCOG Expedition Build
Hello JF friends old and new! haven't been around for a while, searchign here and there. my old build thread basically fell apart, pictures lost blah blah. so here's a new one.
a recap...
Purchased my 2001 XJ Upcountry in 2007 with 52k 4.0 AW4 LP30/D35 3.55, NP242, tracloc, abs, full factory skids and tow hooks, bigger alternator and a trans cooler 30" ATs stock. Instantly lifted it with a RE 4.5 superflex (the old RE quality) 32x11.5 BFG at's and d windows, sliders my dad made. OME nitro chargers.
Picture right after lifting, First trip to VT.
after a while playing around the flares came off
then came trimming and 33" KM2's
a show action shot since i have so few action shots.
at 80k, the 0331 head cracked, replaced it with an 02 0331 head. i'll post pictures when i find them.
i drive a lot and this was my daily driver for years, it took it's toll having a long commute to work. The D30 was in bad shape, always blew up pinion bearing and unit bearings and u joints. Over the years i've accumulated everything need to do a Rubicon TJ D44 front and rear swap. Swapped the front in with RedZJ in March of 2012.
another random flex for the people who only look at pictures :thumbsup:
May of 2012 i bought and Audi A4 for a daily, in hopes to finish the jeep, that didn't happen. I had a bad injury that cost me a lot of money, the audi cost me a lot of money, and the jeep just sat. Started driving again only to discover the head cracked AGAIN...
