Got my 2000 XJ Classic in June 2015 with 119,000 miles on it stock. I bought it in PA, but so far I haven't found any major rust! BAM!! The PO undercoated it, but I might redo the undercoat later sometime.
The current plan is to do a mild build geared towards Overland/Expo use. It is currently my Daily Driver, so driveability and comfort are priorities.
How she looked when I got her:
How she currently sits:
Current To-Do List:
~Fix saggy headliner (getting worse by the minute)(update: headliner now tickles hair)
~Clear-coat the roof (PO repainted it, but never put a clear coat on it)
Current Modification List:
~CB in Overhead Console
~Refreshed the stock I6 4.0l Engine (SpeedPro Pistons & rings, Scat Forged Connecting Rods, Main and Rod bearings, Oil pump, full gasket sets, other misc parts)
~Old Man Emu 934 coils
~Old Man Emu 3" leaf springs
~Old Man Emu n66/67 shocks
~Rubicon Express 1600 trackbar
Possible Interior Modifications:
-Cb mounted in OHC
-Fix Fog lamp short (blows fuses like nobody's business)
-Airhorn (might get one super cheap) (update: horn acquired)
-Auxillary port for radio.
-small miscellaneous interior trim paint
-headliner (eventually)
-LED interior light conversion
-Cargo Box for rear cargo area
Here are some pictures of the interior:
Free seat covers and typical Jeep Walmart special steering wheel cover. I just didn't like the feel of the wheel. It felt a little too skinny. Anyway.
This is the CB mounted in the Overhead Console. Write up on how to do this can be found HERE
The jeep came with a Pioneer radio that fits almost exactly stock. It does a great job with sound quality and feeding the custom speakers the PO put in. I finally put an auxiliary jack in it.
