Got a little bit of work done. Painted the headlight bezels and grille black, and did angry eyes ( because im just that cool ) Also, got all the seats and carpet out. Was a good biut of rust but i was expecting a lot more. I only got pictures of one rust hole, but found ten more small ones after i took pictures. Also, checked all the bearings on the crankshaft, and they're all goo, but one did have an extra bearing in it...maybe that was the knock? Also, made homeade sway bar quick discos, already had all the things for them, so it beats paying $100 to get some already made. Ripped what was left of the headliner out, now its bare metal, I just like it like that. Cut the cat off, so now i gotta go find an adapter to attach my glasspack to the remainder of the exhaust pipe. Aaaand i think that's all, i'm sure im forgetting something... pictures!

Here's the remainder of my exhaust pipe, the painted grille and stuff, ceiling with no headliner, and then my tire rolled up next to my stepdad's silverado

Well, its been awhile, and honestly, i havent done much to the XJ. its been raining a lot, and when its not raining, im hanging out with my friends. but, i have got a little done. painted my rims, and i kinda like em. not bad for a 96 cent can of spray paint! also, i got a free 3 foot magnet mount cb antenna from my brothers old ZJ, and i also got his fog lights and seat cover. soon, im gonna be doin a bed liner paint job.

in other news, my dad will be helping me fund my build starting in september since he built my brothers YJ for him.
So here's my plan now:

Bedliner paint job
32x11.50-R15 Mud Claws
Skyjacker shocks all around
Cobra 29LXBT CB Radio
Planet Audio Flip-Up Head Unit
2 12" Subs
L&L Front Bumper With Stinger
L&L Rear Bumper
Smittybilt XRC-12 Winch

There will probably be more to come after all thats done, but the build is gonna be halted until september, so for now, its just random inexpensive accesorries

Will try to get pictures of foglights, antenna, and rims!

Threw my brothers tires on the XJ to see what they look like, cause he has the same tires I want, and I love the stance it gives it! They're about 4-5 inches past the fender!
