I'm back!!! Kinda, sorta...

[dennisuello]

Just picked up another XJ. I used to have a 1996 2-door about 5 years ago. Sold it and bought a TJ, still have it. The purpose for this XJ is slightly different.

It was flopped on the side, so there's some cosmetic damage to the pass. side and bent control arms on the driver side.

I started gutting it. It will be completely stripped, and interior cage will be built. 31" tires and no suspension mods.

quite worse actually. it will driven to it's limits to see what a stock XJ can do, and to prove a point that you don't usually have to spend a ton of money to wheel and have fun.

Here it is as it sits right now. Just have to finish gutting the interior and put the cage in.

Cage in progress...

Door bar will have a bend in it, so it will still attach to the bend in the A-pillar and other end will tie into the shoulder hardness bar on B-pillar.
