I've owned this jeep since the first week of december. I bought it for the dana 30 front axle for my straight axle s10 blazer build. The tranny was out so I got it for 300.00. But after I started reading about xj's I decided to scrap the blazer and build the xj. Rebuilt the tranny and started drivin it.

Next I bought a 3.5 lift with full packs but I didn't put the ower ars on yet I'm lengthening them to go up to 5 with spacers and shackles. Here it is when it was done on 255/65/15 street tires.

Here it is on 31 buckshots.

Now i'm working on a front bumper. Give me some feed back. I'm new to unibody construction.


I'll keep everyone updated. Next is spacers, shackles and 33's "with tax money" and a rear bumper. Then a, and on and on and on. That's what I like about xj's.

Finally got pics of my front bumper installed. I already got started on the rear bumper It's gonna be alot easier, except for the tire carrier. Anyone know of a good spindle for cheap?
