About 2 years ago I started the rebuild since it had a brand new transmission, starter, alternator, and a tune up.



I began cutting off the old cross member and pulling and bending all the metal back to the way it was as much as I could:

Not too bad considering I've never done this kinda work before!



Luckily I found a red zj at pull a part to replace the driver side fender:

After getting a new header panel and a new front end kit it's starting to look like a jeep again!

After picking up a new bumper at pull a part I honestly don't think I've ever put it on

With how muddy your engine bay is that intake is a bad idea. Unless you like hydrolocked engines
