Default one mans trash

I bought my 1995 xj wrecked 5 monthes ago from a teenager who said it had a blown engine....well he was telling his grandma that after the wreck so he could get a new vehicle and actually had pulled spark plug wires so after fixing the wires I quickly replaced radiator, front clip and built front rear bumbers for it. Found a rough country 6.5" lift used for 325 bucks and threw that under it. Added 33x12.5 Hankook dynapro mt's and eagle alloy 15x10 rims. No pics of the build until now (just got camera) I welded some washers to the bumper as tabs for my aux lights, added one for extra reverse light. picked up a surco rack for 15 bucks from a buddy. Rhino lined rocker panels and 4.11 Gears.
Future Mods
Long arm conversion (Frankz hopefully)
trimmed fenders
35s
Corp 8.25 locked 4.56 (in progress)
Rebuild dana 30 4.56 limited slip (or if i can find 44 ill go with that)
sye and driveshaft
alot of this will take place in february other than that it is a slow build as of now
