Im thinking about picking up a XJ and was hoping to pick a few brains to see if what I have in mind will come together well. Im very familiar with CJ, YJ's and Comfortable with TJ's but have no idea when it comes to XJ's so heres my thoughts
I have the following.
built 4.2, external slave ax15, waggy 44's front and rear with 4:10's and lockers, high steer set up and a dana 300.
I was thinking about finding a POS blown up XJ with a half way decent body to move all this stuff into. My only real concern or requirement for the jeep would be A/C. I have no problems wiring and would more then likey make my own dash and install a after market wiring harness. I currntly am building a YJ that I will use mostly as a daily driver so this would be my woods, family (me wife and 2 kids) and really hot/rainy florida day driver.
My real confusion comes into setting up the front end and is there any year XJ that would be better off for a donor due to frame construction? Id prefer manual windows but thats not a huge turn off.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
