looks good man like the way you did the floor

 

This really makes me miss my 89 2 door XJ Pioneer! Burtchville, isn't that near Fort Gratiot?

 

Yep just north of Fort Gratiot by about 2 mins...

 

Pics of it today sitting in the side yard..




Still need to hook up a few things but she's drivable..

 

Looks like all the hard work paid off. GREAT job man.

 

Just figured I'd post a few updated pics and info..

Swing out and rear bumper built..



Long arm cross member built just waiting for the time to build the frame stiffeners that it will get welded to. The mount holes on it are strictly for line up..


And the start of my lower long arms..

 

wow, talk about back from the DEAD, great job!!

Im loving the waggy front.....

how much lift is that, 4.5' on 32's ??????????

 

It's Rusty's 4.5" on 31's.

After it settled I'm still about 5.5" lift..

Next spring when I'm due for tires again it will be getting 35's, and prob a 1" spacer added..

 

Dude, nice build. Lot of time and busted knuckles but looks real good. More pics of fabbed long arm pieces would be nice!!!

 

Pics will be on there way. Right now working on getting set for my Spring Break Out run in 1 and 1/2 weeks..

More build and up grades after that..

Front bumper, sliders, frame stiffeners and the rest of the long arm all to come after. I have the steal on the garage floor just ran out of time before my run..

 

Found a deal I can't pass up on a Corp 14 bolt from a C&C (Cab and Chassi for those that don't know)..

It's 63" WMS to WMS, our XJ's are 60.5" - 1 ton's are not far off in this build.....

Now I need a King Pin HPD60 front from a Ford.....

 

Well it's been a long time since I updated this..

It's rolling on 32x11.5-15 MTRs now, winch 8000lbs Smitybilt, custom bumpers, sliders, frame stiffeners and long arms and also have done teh doorless mod.

And still to go in, front Spartan, Iron Rock offroad steering, Rusty's Double shear track bar..

Replacing my rear D44 that has 3.55 gears with a Ford 8.8 with Disc and 4.10 gears, and looking into a D30 with 4.10's as well..

Attached is a few pics of it after the doorless mod and how it sits right now..

 

Sweet to see an update on this. Wouldn't mind seeing a few more pics of all the fab work done.

 

Well I see it's been some time since I did a update...

Since last pics I've added 1" lift to a cool 5.5", 32x11.5-15 MTRs, Trimmed, Iron Rock heim steering, Rusty's newer Double shear track bar...

 

Nick, Love the build. I too have a 96 2dr. the waggy header looks sweet on yours.
