I like most of yours, a couple get wordy and long but most technical stuff I do I'm following a forum walkthrough or doing something not all that original.
haha, yeah, that's basically what I do for most of mine. when I watch a video on how to do something, I don't just watch one, I watch 5 or 6.

Also began on the XJ 3 link last night. Looks like a few warmer days this week should help motivate me to get'r done!
these'll fit without a lift right?

with this side shoved up there was room to get to the control arm mount with sawzall and angle grinder...too bad my batteries were all dead...forgot to charge them

Almost done with the front, grabbing 2 new bolts for the track bar(hopefully today) and repair the passenger side brake line. Probably won't get much more done until next weekend.

I'm contemplating just cutting the leaf springs and bushings off in the rear to hopefully save the bolts and weld nuts. Thoughts?

Resting on the front axle I got everything ready to start on the rear. Planning on cutting off the leaf springs and shackles and torching the bolts so they don't break...we'll see how well that'll work otherwise anyone know the sizes off the top of their heads? M14x1.5x100?

Also have to cut off the passenger side mount and fix the brake line too.
