WarthogXJ

Just picked up a "new to me" XJ, it looks like it just rolled down a mountain but I have to admit this thing is BUILT.

I really don't know what else I can do to it.

Kyle

Theres always something more you can do to it, im thinking full widths.

You just bought alot of long nights of work, looks good.

WarthogXJ

I think I got a pretty good deal since I only spent $3k on it

Kyle

Well that all depends on how well the work on it was done.

WarthogXJ

Well the rig was owned by an owner of a offroad shop here and I had a rockcrawling/mechanic buddy look it it and he said that beside the fact that its dented up its in perfect shape and that he has never seen a cage so well done and the cost to fab that alone is well above the price I paid for the entire rig

BigVaz

Wow, that thing is Reedunkulous!!!

That thing looks serious. I'm sure there's more you could do, or update. What did you buy this for? Trails and not daily driving, I hope.

WarthogXJ

I bought it as a fun daily driver sometimes during the summer (which its doing right now with zero problems) but mostly for a trail rig

OBA or maybe a F/R winch?

Well I think it looks awesome. Send us some more detailed pics. BTW Welcome to CF from here in South Texas.

Here are some more detailed pics

Again awesome. I like the dash and your Jeep's use on the blank areas for gauge placement. That is a novel way to gusset the trackbar. Cheap but effective.
Judging by the selected axles, upgrades are needed there to make it as tough on the trails as it appears to be.
I still think you have an awesome Jeep.

Get rid of that Dana35 as soon as possible

BlueXJ

That was my inferance here. A 44 or 8.8 at the least is needed here.

Kyle

X2 that thing needs to go. Again I say full widths.
