Then off that I welded two tabs for my shock to bolt to with a through bolt. Gets rid of the bar pin **** and the crappy stock shock bolts. Should work for now.

Im going not this weekend but next to get my rear disc stuff. There was like 20 ZJs with rear discs for what anyone needs. P-valve, good looking calipers (or just use them as cores you get more as a core than what you pay) Good soft lines. The backing plate might be bent but those can be fixed . There is an XJ there with what looked to be a brand new crate engine kinda. Shiny intake, dry as a bone valve cover. There were like 3 diffrent xjs with axles shafts removed and placed the the cab. Just pick up and go.

So thinking about doing a 4x4 conversion this summer. If someone that knows what they are doing would like to help me out I would happily pay $50. If not that's fine too. Before I do this I need to buy a donor vehicle. If you think $50 is too low let me know. My dad would also help so... Thanks for any responses. I have air and power tools as well as a shop (my step dads). No car lift though :/
