Filarski's XJ Pre-runner build

[Larrythedog]

I don't have any info or research to add other than it takes about 5 beers and two square feet of 18ga.

LOL

Been working on getting everything welded front to back lately. We're hoping to have a roller very soon so we can get it weighed and get the spring rates narrowed down.
The engine cross member was still on the list, so we worked on checking that off last sunday.

We'll be floating around out there, but the TTBXJ isn't gonna make it...
We just put the fans on the radiator and are working on mounting it as well as the body.

All the interior is back in and fits really well.
We'll be working on a custom headliner soon to cover up the cage work and keep it quiet inside.

What size hole is in the floor and what did you use to seal it off from the outside?

300 mile shake down over the weekend. Never turned a wrench. The shocks need plenty of tuning, but overall, VERY HAPPY!

Awesome, once the shocks get tuned it looks like it will work great...funny watching the ttb suspension up front on an XJ. Doesn't look like any other XJ desert run I've seen lol.
