Default Project Old Man

Hey all, well been about 10 years since I last had a build thread. So here we go.

Project Old Man - Reason for the name, I first built this Jeep for a friend of mine 11 years ago. And now it's mine.
2001 XJ Sport - Running a 1997 XJ driveline that when installed only had 70,000 on motor and transmission. Jeep has spend the better part of the last 6 years sitting.
Running a Rusty's Off-Road 4.5" lift complete, SYE and cable shift, Dirt Bound front and rear (not yet installed) Badlands 12,000 lbs winch, 285/75R16 Authority ATs and Barn's Off-Road 1-ton cross over steering.
When I built it, it had 31x10.5R15 Duratracs on 15x8 steel wheels, Rusty's steering, and DIY rear bumper.
When I got the Jeep about 8 months ago it was just like I built it plus Rust Rot...
To get it driving I had, do brakes, replace wiper motor, tires and steering..
So that's about where I'm at now..
