Yeah, it is. I've been saving/shopping for a little bit now. It's taken me 6 months to pull the trigger on any of it because I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it.

Now that I've made up my mind she's getting redone from the outside in! Haha....

You gotta start a build thread so we can see the progress.

I picked it up off Craigslist for $50, could not believe it when I saw the add. These are $400 new. I've seen them on eBay for $350 new, but just search Craigslist till you find one.

Finally changed out my track bar bushings. Wow these things were toast. I got my next project from brown santa today too. New bumper end caps. I'll bedline them and bedline the bumper, everything should look nice and clean once that is done.

Not a lot going on, just got my KC rock guards put on. Hoping to start getting back to work on the Jeep next month. I need to get a new Macbook, so that is going to eat up a lot of my extra cash.

Thanks. No progress at all in the last couple months. I'm actually getting it ready to sell, I need a bigger vehicle. Looking at getting a lifted Commander or a lifted grand Cherokee.

How did this come out? I'm looking for an option for the wheel wells since i've taken out my stock wheel well plastic guards, does this hold up well and stay protected?

Thanks!

Not sure how it has held up since I sold the XJ last May. But at the time it held up real well, looked good too. You could try rustoleum bedliner I know that stuff holds up real well, if prepped properly.

Yeah there was rubbing on the lower control arms on full lock. I would suggest spacers or just get some different wheels. If I could do it over again I would of went with the Rubicons, I don't think there is any rubbing with the Rubi's. And they look great on the XJ's.

Well, you haven't updated in a while... but out of curiosity, what made you change your mind on using the jeep centers instead of the cragar centers?
