Thanks! 🙋🏻‍♂️

Hello! What's your opinion about this 2,5d vm diesel engine? Is it really such a mistake? I'm thinking about it at the moment, found very nice XJ with this engine, but everyone tells me to look for 4.0... Did you have any problems with it? Thanks for information:)

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

The 2.5 TD is known for cracking heads. I have two in the family and have never had a problem with either. It's not made for high speeds or high rpms (overheating can lead to cracking of the heads) and if that's not a problem, you're gonna love it. Regular maintenance and it's a great vehicle. Also it can run on wasted vegetable or wasted motor oil (I have video of both) so you can have free fuel. I drive it every day and I wouldn't change it! 🙂

Got the same looking jeep ...Except it is dark green. Was looking for a decent one for over a year. Not quite there yet with my own. Still gotta lift it and put some bigger tires on it , like you did. Have you bought your LED headlights with a certificate or without? Its hard to homologate them. Looks sick tho! Pozdrav iz Slovenije!

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Hi! Thanks and congratulations! 🙋🏻‍♂️ Green loks great on XJs! It took me almost a year to find mine. My led lights don't have certificate. I'm more like f..k the system. LOL It's not like these lights are going to kill someone. 😁 What lift kit will you put?

[@avgust11kri]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar Probably Trailmaster 75mm lift kit....which comes with a TUV certificate so I can homologate atleast one thing on my jeep. :D

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

@@avgust11kri I understand. 😁 3 inch lift kit with 31x10.5x15 looks great! It's not too big and it's still great on the road.

Gdje se to vozis? Idem ovaj vikend sa par frendova na Sljeme, al razmisljamo mozda i o nekoj okolici zg-a. Slobodno se pridruzis :)

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Bok! Ja sam iz Jaske pa su te ture uglavnom tu u okolici. Hvala na pozivu! Imam vec nesto drugo u planu, ali daleko je jos nedjelja! 😁

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

E da, ako ces kad biti za vožnju, samo javi! Ako mogu, ja sam uvijek za akciju! 😁 Kakvo vozilo imas?

[@DunnageGarage]

Beautiful scenery

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thanks Scott!

[@vladleonard86]

Do you ever feel like you need more power? A bigger engine? Or this 2.5 diesel is more than enuf to have some fun in mud and mountains

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

I wouldn't mind to have more power but it's enough. In 4 low you can go wherever you want in first 3 gears. There is also an option to put 4.10 differentials. Then you would have a lot more power.

Even in the middle of a bleak winter, there's no better way to get a jeep dirty!

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

I couldn't agree more! 🙂

Misljenje planiram da kupim blazera 4.3 v6

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Bok! Iskreno nemam iskustva sa tim Blazerom, ali koliko sam cuo i citao, nisu losi. Uobicajene stvari kao i kod ostalih amera... Ne bi trebalo biti nikakvih vecih problema pogotovo ako je dobro odrzavan.

[@vladleonard86]

Reliable engine?

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Not for high speeds and high revs, as it starts to heat up. If you pay attention to that, it's great.

[@vladleonard86]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar i need one just for trips in woods, mountains. Etc. To camp. I don't need it to run 150 km/h with it.

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Everything under 120 km/h and you're good. 😉

[@vladleonard86]

Do you recommend xj over the wj ?

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

For off road, definitely XJ. 😉
