Got the brakes bleed and everything greased then took it down to the car wash for a test drive and them some poser avatar pics.Drives pretty good for what it is!Next is the alignment and front locker install, then get started on some bumpers and sliders.

Your build is sweet. Whatcha gonna do with your original wheels? I'm in Knoxville and need one for a matching spare - would you sell (or donate?) one, or two, so I can keep my red '96 stock 2-door sweetheart looking right? If so, plz call me at 310-9040 to discuss...

Got it aligned today and pulled it up on the back deck to see if the fenders were trimmed enough.Looks like its going to work just fine.I did have to relocate the front stock brake line mount lower though ,even with the extended brake lines it was pulling on the brake lines!I can tell the control arms are really doing their job because it just rolls over and stuff alot easier compared to the other Xj that didnt have them.

Thanks Skid.I deleted the power windows today. Kinda weird it had power windows,some of which did not work and there were these capped off window crank looking things on the doors.I popped one off and the splines for a manual window handle crank was in there.Took off the door panels unhooked the electric motor,added some window cranks and Shazam manual windows!

Starting building the front winch bumper today with my buddy Joe,pretty much got it all done except for mounting it! Used 3/16 steel for all of it other than the d ring tabs I upgraded all the bolts to 1/2''g8 and extended the mounts back to the larger hole in rear for added strength.I will get some mounted pics tomorrow.Too tired to mount it tonight.
