So it was time for another jeep for me. I don't have stock pictures, but it started as a 2001 XJ, 130k no rust. The bad, frame was broke at the steering box. I paid $300 for it. Within 2 days had the frame fixed with the rustys kit, cut the fenders an put on 30" bfg mud terrains

Next would be a lot of wheeling ever weekend! Soon it got an iron Rock trac bar, also the iron rock steering setup, built a bumper in 20 minutes with a receiver for the winch, welded the rear. It's roughly sitting at 4 inches on 33's right now.
I hydro locked it am spun an rod bearing, so pulled the motor and put in a new one.

Next on the agenda is to build some half doors, long arm it, an possibly for my one tons underneath. But first it need some tlc in the wheel bearing an brake department. All this progress took me about 3 months, and this thing gets ran hard every weekend
