Just want to say thanks for all the input, its really helpful and sorry if I ask a lot of questions.
Are spring perches an easy job for welding? Im not a welder but I found a jeep that is in great condition minus bad brake lines and needs new front axle spring perches.
I finally got one! It needs a few changes and touch ups but pretty solid, rides great, engine string with a little over 200K on it. I might also have a spare motor coming so this is a great start for 1200!
Thanks guys! Im going to start my build thread once I get some decent pics of all my future construction areas.
fallenDown, I saw your other post, definitely looking to learn a lot about these XJ's so Im down to help turn some wrenches, Im about 45 min from pawtucket
Sounds good! I'm just waiting for some parts to come in currently so I can get my XJ back on the road. It's currently sitting on a lift with the wheels off and radiator out. Shop I work on it at is in Wrentham, if that's not too far. Got most the stuff that's needed for projects except a cherry picker.

Congrats on the purchase looks like U got a good purchase
FallenDown, Wrentham is pretty close, Im about 45 min from the outlets. Once I get a little more familiar with the jeep I'm going to start getting the engine running like new but I'll be around if you ever need a hand!
It varies, but I have a pretty open schedule. Weekdays and weekends. Sometimes I head over there early in the morning, or if I'm feeling lazy I'll head over there after noon. Shop's on a farm, so it's not too busy. I haven't been there since last week cause I'm waiting on some parts to come in and it looks like they won't be here til Monday, unless they get here earlier. So I can't really do any work on it til the parts come in. We could set something up after they come in whenever you're free if you wanna shoot me a pm.
