My 87 XJ work in progress/ hybird cage build
This is a link to my XJ build to this point.
Next step is to build custom front and rear bumpers. Then I want to build an exo cage off them. What do yall think of the jeep so far? Does anyone have dimensions on bumpers or know where to find them?

axle swap
Got rid of the dana 35. And hopefully this will get rid of my axle wrap. Going with 8.25, 29 spline count with disc brakes.
Cut off factory smaller leaf spring perches and welded on Rusty's anti axle warp perches. almost 7inches.
Got the new axle in. Next step is finish brake lines and install new brake booster.

I decided it was time for a cage. I went with hybird.
A pillar is outside. Went through the fender and welded to the sliders.
B hoop is inside, it has plates on the floor and underneath. Plates are bolted together and welded underneath to the cross member.
C hoop is inside, and welded to plates in the rear.
D has legs straight through the cab to plates in rear.
Halo is welded to risers from B and C hoop and legs to floor on D
