Figured I'd introduce myself and my build, and hopefully be able to make a couple trips out this summer! I picked up this 91 a few months back so I could do a budget build and run the rubicon this summer, and then it snow balled into a not so budget build 🤣. Ended up coming across a deal on a pair of differentials that was to good to pass up, a high pinion 44 that's trussed and has rcv shafts and a comanche amc 20 with air lockers. Got a full set of unibody stiffeners, ruffstuff 3 link kit, Rubicon transfer case, and planning to build a hybrid cage. Hopefully ill get it pulled in the shop the first weekend of April and get cracking, but the shop currently houses my Gambler 500 build that I'm finishing up. It's a 66 Dodge Dart on an 80 wagoneer chassis with a 5.3/th400/np241. I'm very involved in the Gambler community and help run the Northern Nevada group. This is far from my first XJ though, and im excited to see what she's capable of when I get it going!20241106_123137.jpg20240920_094758.jpg20250101_233215.jpg
 
Well ive gotten quite a bit accomplished on this thing the last couple months, not as quickly and nearly as much as I had hoped though. Working 60+ hrs a week has made it hard to get alot done quickly. But im hoping to do a shakedown this weekend and get ready to hit the rubicon in a couple weeks.
