Picked up all new grade 8 bolts and all hardware today at Lowes. Got the factory bumper off which was a ***** because the previous owner had a towbar bracket on there as well. Noticed my factory sway bar bushings were shot at the frame and picked up some replacements at autozone. To my suprise they are made in america
.Pulled the front fender liners out and got the brackets installed and ready for the bumper to be installed tomorrow sometime.

Are you remounting the evap canister or just closing it off? I remounted mine to the triangle brace on the crossmember. It's a little crowded in there with the horn but it fit behind the Logans bumper.

I connected it back and wedged it in the engine bay close to the fuse box for the time being for a quick fix. May just git rid of it consiering i won't be using the AC and hardly doubt ill ever use cruise control.

I would love to see his XJ, but he works weekends.
Might have to figure out a midweek run once my SYE is squared away!
Keep the build thread going - it's a good one
