This is what I did Saturday, instead of finishing my rock sliders
Then this week I decided to cut the corners

New Wheels
It's been forever since I've posted on this build. That's because it's been forever since I've done anything with this Jeep. As it's currently configured I can't pass emissions, and other things have come up, so my poor XJ has sat for over a year.
I did get some chrome wheels for it, and they look pretty sharp I think.

Good choice on the motor swap the 5.3 is a great motor. I will be swapping my motor soon but will be doing a tbi 350. I plan on using a nv4500 tho so thanks for the master cylinder info. How much of the trans tunnel did you have to modify to fit?

My tunnel mods were just to clear the Dana 300, and would not have been needed if I used either the Chevy tail housing or a NP231. I just had to extend the TC clearance bump forward about 6".
