Ya looks great!
What do you mean by the "valance"? Is that the piece connecting the front side fenders from one side to the other
I think I'm gonna do it.

Yeah thats the one.


Thats just what that piece of plastic is called. Some people call it an air dam as well.

May I have the title of this thread changed to TMC's 91 2dr "Simple, Yet Useful" Build?

Thank you

Any idea what suspension you want to put on there? I suggest Zone or Rusty's for the price and quality over Rough Country. I'm really happy with the feel of the leaf springs and coils I got from Rusty's off road.

Also, I don't have that front valance on my XJ either, and I love it that way. Good call on that man.

I actually only bought the Jeep about 5 weeks ago or so and the PO gave me two sets if wheels and tires with the Jeep. The black rims and tires are winter and the old silver ones have "summer" tires. Ill probably try to sell one of the sets after i pick up the other three silver ones from his shop. Im not sure how the y do in snow.

Yeah i definitely dont want RC, based off what Ive read. I mean, this is a budget build but I'd rather run what i got than get an RC. Ive thought of piecing together a lift with some RE springs and some other odds and ends.

Ive heard good things about rustys and zone though.

Yeah. Amazon has RE coil springs for pretty cheap. Weird thing is the 3.5 inch ones are more expensive than the 4.5 inch coils, lol.
