Well I picked up a 89 Comanche body is good and straight picked up from a local JY. Bought it for 300 bucks 4cyl 5spd 2wd truck has a bench seat 300k on the body. I have a 01 Cherokee that my buddy had but he rolled it over and I bought that from him for 300 bucks as well. But I've already taken the engine out of the Mj now I'm going to pressure wash the engine bay and prep it for paint it then next I'm going to gut the interior out of the Mj to get ready to transfer the Xj's interior over. I plan on running about 3 to 4.5" lift on the MJ when done with 33's or 35 not sure yet. I will post pics when I get home of the progress I have done so far. Some interior pieces from the Xj and the Mj will be for sale you need anything just let me know.

 

Pics would be nice.

 

Sweet man. Sounds like a fun project.

 

what all you plan on sellin? i got a 95 cherokee 4wd if that helps for what would would be useful for me. sounds like a great project though. keep it up

 

 

Wow, looks great.

I have a 90 Cherokee 4x4 sitting in the yard along with an 86 Comanche (front end damage) that I want to do exactly this with. Interior looks great in there already.

Now if only I had a garage to work in...

 

Hey I don't have a garage either but the weather has been great here so I'm just doing it a little at a time to keep myself busy. But I know its going to be a little challenging with the interior swap

 

Jeeze, that WAS a clean XJ.

Good luck with the swap, def keep us posted!!

 

Yea it was I wanted forever from my friend but I finally got it after he rolled it that's what happens when you mix beer and ice

 

Hey dont know if you have seen this but it should help you out alot with any questions http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f22/99-mj-build-881250/ good luck man its a really cool project

 

Yes I have drooled over that thread for the past year and now I finally have my own build it prob won't be as great as his build because I'm looking to build my own house but I will do my best with what I have.
