Project my first jeep
So picked up my first ever jeep, 94 xj with 176k everything works except for cruise which I dont really care about.
got it for 1500 so im happy with it
on my list of things to do,
get a full 3" lift kit, previous owner did 2" springs in the fron and 3" blocks in the rear, so the 31s rub at 5mph at turns.
new 31s
roof rack
winch
and fix the rust
over all its a good truck and im happy with what i got for very little
been reading this forum for a few weeks and got alot of really good ideas

Those type of recovery points are prone to failure and when they do someone is either hurt or in a body bag.

This is what I use.

You cut straight through the bumper and weld it on both sides.

Your first jeep looks interesting... Seems like a nice buy for you...
I'm starting to imagine how it would look like after you've finished working on it... Good Luck!
