I hope i'm doing this right, supposed to be for a build. I have been looking and reading about all of your riggs. i thought i would start a build of my own. as you all know we are on budgets, (at least us married guys are) my xj will reflect that by being built entirely from JY parts. i started with coil and leaf changes. there will be more to come. this is just the beginning, these things take time and $$$$$$.

first off you gotta know, i'm a mechanic not a computer person. i get done what i can on these things by just peckin around. so i'll put the pics in an album and folks can check out the progress there.

today was successful. i managed to get to lift installed. (the lift consisting of 95 ZJ coils and spacers up front and S10 main and mid leafs out back.) got the new/used fenders installed. found a wonderful surprize when i removed the right fender. damage to the inner structure hidden by poorly installed fender. PO tack welded it on because none of the holes would line up. i managed to get the holes all back in the right place and get the fender on correctly. i cut that full on "redneck" tube bumper off the front and i am modifying it to go on the rear with suitable recovery hooks, the front bumper was a JY find, you can see it in my albums, i had to cut the old mounts off and i will be changing it to better suit my likes. it too will get recovery hooks added to it. got the materials to fab my own rock slides and repair some rot on the rockers. after all the work done today, all i can say is man i gotta get some real shoes on this thing. streeters just aint gonna cut it. i will get some pics added to my album shortly.
