My buddies 91 XJ

stock with spring rubbers in the front springs.

Fender flares pulled, some used 31x10.5 on ZJ rims and checking the 4wd after I modded the vacuum disco

After cutting and welding up the rear quaters and rear bumper.

Rims painted flat black. Note the busted head light trim.

Front end all pulled apart.

All the new stuff installed.

Bumper cut down (it was damaged on the PS corner)

I might have to cut the fenders a little higher but plan on building a bumper to fit the area.

Should be getting atleast 235/75/15s on 15x8 cragar soft 8s but more likely 30x9.5s. I want to paint it in the next week or so. No idea what color. Something flat because it is just going to get scartched up and it just needs to be one color.

Nice progress so far.

Looking good.

thanks guys. I went to a paint place to get material prices and it looks like I might as well just let my buddy take it to Maco and get a single stage black sprayed on it after we do the prep work. Anyone think they will have a problem with us wanting to have it paint satin black instead of gloss black? I dealt with this Maco years ago when getting my drift car painted and it came out really good for the price but their prep sucks. SO I trust them to paint it good enough but will do the prep our selves.

xj_maniac_newb · 10-04-2009, 09:23 AM

where did you get your new front end from? looks nice.

ToyComa · 10-04-2009, 10:02 AM

junk yard. passenger side was broke so I had to glue it back together and sand it before I painted it. Next step is to get him to go back to the junk yard and get the front axle/rear and lower control arm. this thing was in atleast one accident and the bracket on the passenger side was broke off and the lower control arm is bent. He also had to replace the oil filter adapter this past weekend because that broke. So once he buys the rear and control arms, I'll box them all up and get the rear in it. Anyone know where he can get the PCV valves for it.

found this picture on my phone today.

And took two pics while out in the woods by my house today checking things out after replacing the TPS.

I think I should have my buddy pull his front sway bar next time we go out and see how much more flex it has up front. His tires rear tires rub on the back side of the tire to the inner fender.
