the list goes on...

So I figured I would post a new picture of my Jeep after last nights event.

Sometime between 12 am and 9 am this morning someone decided to relieve my Jeep of the 2 Rear Jerry Cans (one of which was a trail can that does not hold fuel but instead has hidden compartments for tools; hold down bracket with custom welding and powdercoat; lug nuts for spare ; and firestick CB antenna.

Really stupid move on their part. The stole maybe 300 dollars of items and took a chance on jail or worse.

They left the spare and rim right next to my Jeep and must have been nearly motionless when removing these items. My alarm was set and my motion sensor is pretty sensitive cause its always doorless and roofless.

My night vision cameras were actually turned off for maintainence or things would have been quite different. Fixed that today! Its motivational when someone robs your shit! :P

Ive got outstanding insurance and I will be rebuilding with even more primo parts! Jerry cans were getting a bit weather beaten in spots anyway.

This time I am going to stealth wire reed switches that are tied into my auxillary channels of my alarm so if a Jerry can is lifted it completes the circuit and alarm fires. I will also increase my motion sensor zones that my camera triggers on.

Times are tough out there friends so make sure that you maintain excellent insurance that includes theft and vandalism. Keep receipts and adopt a mentality of "Its not if its going to happen , but when"

I knew it was coming and it took some Thomas Crowne bastard to pull it off.



So here is a rendition of my current Jeep "mod" LOL

[hendrixvodu]

Here was my Xj before I sold it 320k every option available. Skids,tow hooks,fogs,cruz,power seats, power antenna,infinity stereo... With manual windows never had a problem with her except the 10mpg -__- but UNSTOPABLE in the snow it was surprising how great that it was for being a small SUV




Here was her replacment I love it 25mpg and pretty good in the snow for a soccer mom SUV

[FlexdXJ]

I get 18 mpg consistently on the highway and my XJ is a fat pig. I don't know what I'm doing right but I'm not complaining!

[hendrixvodu]

Are you lifted ? That could be why right when I did bigger tires and my lift I lost all my mpg

Look up a few posts. 3" lift, 33's 4.10's and 400 pounds of armor. The jeep is my main obsession.

99 XJ.. Just sold it to have money for my e30 project.. I honestly couldn't be happier (automatic trans was too boring).

[E30 Wagen]

I'm thinking about selling one of my e30s to buy a Jeep Cherokee. Are there are any good guides to buying one of these? What are some things too look for ie; rust areas (very important to me), engine/transmission health, and other general things. Budget up to $3000ish. Any help would be much appreciated.

97-99. very few late 99's then on up to 01 had the 0331 head which is prone to warping and cracking and causing catastrphic cooling issues. my 97 has been solid as a rock for 4 years. All i have changed was the cooling system, ps pump and a few sensors(my fault for putting hood vents in). there are several other things the 97-99's have going for them but my break is over. as for rust, you'll want to check the floors and rocker panels and also the front corners of the drip rails like to bubble up. The AW4 is an Aisin trans so you don't need to worry about the Chrysler shit going bang.
