Last winter I decided I wanted to get into Offroading. I wanted something capable on the trails and I could still use for runs to the cottage. I decided that I wanted a XJ because of the cargo room.

I bought a 88 for 400 dollars, got it home start giving it a closer look and found that the floors were completely gone and the subframe in one area was starting to go.

So I bought another one, a 93. It is now on the road and ready for modification...

Today I took the rear diff and lift out of the parts jeep. Tomorrows plan is the front, and maybe the rear of my 93.

Sounds like it's coming along Scott. Get it done for the 8th and we'll go have a shake down run at the Gorge (Burnstown).

Front is in place, just have to pick up some bolts on the way home from work and it will be done. Then it is new brake lines all around and a Tcase drop. I know oooh tcase drop but i have no choice right now, a sye is not in the budget. I have pics but I cant get them off my camera at work, I will post them when i do.

Finally got the pics off my camera

Here is a pic with the rear already done and the front of my axle out of my jeep. The jeep in the background is the donor, it has been stripped of everything I need right now

If you'd stop sleeping under it, you'd be done by now. :flipoff:
