280k, but dont we all wish, they would last that long. prev owner must of changed them once, cause the 12point bolts to the hubs were all stripped, I myself only got 2 years out of them after upgading to 33" tires.

[XJcoupe]

well it didnt take long to get it dirty after a new front hub, the day ended when my buddy thought he was a submarine, without a snorkle, hydro locked the 4 banger and filled his trani-torc converter with h2o, got it started again, and strawbery milkshake started to come out, from under his heep, sucks for him, ended up flat towing him back home.

[XJcoupe]

well sorry guys been just a tad busy, trying to get a second location opened for my business the last couple months As of june 1st, the build plan has changed again, with all the beating the coupe has taken, over the winter years by the salt they add to the roads, its time for a change. with all the research done now, it time for a change.
after picking up another heep in a good deal, the plan for the coupe next is upgrading to full-size axles, skinny the frame from a 86 chevy 3/4 ton, and a 454- ya baby.
Can it be done, anythings possible with a XJ, is my moto, 1st up is to part out the body of the chevy for some extra $$$$, then to cut out the XJ unibody, wish me luck, cheers rob






















get use to seeing this dude around, new co-pilot wont leave my side, named him BUD- short for Budwiesser

BY chance can anyone tell me what size axles these are ?, man I fell like a newb asking- haha, but I haven't been under a Chevy in 20 years, prev. owner could only tell me 4.10 gears, with possi rearend- idk

[jerman75]

just so you know, yor hose is tangled and remember to keep room in the budget for Bud food

[XJcoupe]

well made some progress in the last month, parted out the chevy body and was left with this- cant what to get started , now to chop off about 3-5 feet off the rear, cut out my XJ uni-body, plate it and make new body mounts, should be done by tomorrow, if I dont get into the beer- ya right.
looking to make this right, so any info or help or surgestions will be much appr. hopefully get it to be a trail rig by next spring or next ?
