The arrival of the XJ in the backyard! July 2013
Just some background: I am a Jeep enthusiast with two other Jeep projects in the backyard, and have always loved this particular shape. A few years back I observed that a friend of ours had parked his one near to our office, and did not seem to use it very often, so I thought it would be a good idea to offer to buy it. Sadly he loved his old Jeep just as much as I did, and could not part with it. Thereafter, I would attempt to change his mind every couple of years, but to no avail.
When the old jeep's engine overheated and seized, I offered to buy the vehicle once again, and this time I was told - "take it, it's yours!". I towed it home, very happy with my engine-less vehicle.
After weighing up the options, I decided to install a Lexus 4 litre V8 engine.
This is the story of the progress towards getting the old Jeep back on the road...
