Its all Cherokee lift but from different vehicles that I acquired and bought over a few months. Has lower control arms. Also already have shackles and spacers on the xj. Iim painting the parts orange before I put them on. Also need to trim the fenders and maybe fix some rust

I'm afraid to vacuum mine. Especially since I haven't really cleaned the interior for quite some time now.

Time to look up parts and figure out what to buy first... oh where to start with this front axle rebuild...

Speaking of bumpstops, my fronts fell out when I pulled the coils. They just pop in there, but the passenger side fell apart. Suggestions for replacements? I will be drilling the perch for hockey pucks too. Maybe I'll get some from the junkyard if they are still good.

I run the Daystar extended ones, and two hockey pucks. I would say at least get the extended ones and go from there. For $30 or so they are worth it

Speaking of clean rigs, dirty rigs, and over heated Jeeps.

Wheeled Nelsons yesterday down to the lake. Lots of soft deep gravel, outside temp almost 110F. (no snakes spotted)
Left around 5pm and on the way out my XJ got up to 240-250 so close to that nasty red zonee. ( part time 4hi & a.c. on blast for the lady) turned off a.c. when i hit pavement and switched back 2hi costed down the hill and temps went back to normal.
My motor and coolant system is all stock and I do not know when the last time it was flushed.
So Time to do radiator flush and maybe Tstat change.?? Any good known Tstat brands Jeep guys go with?

Just Don't need to wash her, the dirt mixes in with the Tan paint.
But I like to see black tires instead of dust coated all over.
