Ok so Iv had my 94 XJ for about a year now and have done a lot to it. So I thought I should start a build. So this is what Iv gotten done so far let me know what ya'll think?

My lovely wife was talking to a close friend of are's that works and a shop here in Devine and said I was looking for a 4x4 XJ and he told her that one of his Customers was trying to sale one that he had rebuilt the motor and put a 4.6 stroker kit in about a year before and the kid was asking $1800. I was able to talk the kid down to $800 and picked her up the next day.

Here's whin I got her home.

The first thing I had to do was change the flex plate, and then I did a 97+ console swap.

http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7fbf7f5e.jpg

I had to do a little modifying but it was no big deal.
http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/...psdfff28c9.jpg
Had to cut off a little lip so to prevent it from rubbing on the tank and
Attachment 344879
Had to cut out a little so that the hitch can sit back far enough so I could line up the bolts
But other then that it bolted up.

I'm also going to work on my rock sliders today I should get them done and ready for paint.

Ok so I decided to put off my rock sliders until I can get the extra cash for a set of unibody stiffeners. I found the ones I want just got to get the money. On the bright side I was at Pick-N-Pull today getting an A/C bracket for my wife's XJ and came a crossed a 97 with a 3in lift on it. While I was looking at it I noticed that it had a factory front skid plate. So I quickly pulled it off, and to my surprise they only charged me $12 for it.

Once I get it off I realized that the previous owner reinforced the bottom of it with angle iron. Witch I really like because they are prone to bend.

Attachment 344304
There it is installed on mine. lol

Well I made some more head way on the rig today. I got my AX-15 tranny crossmember in today and got rid of my rednack transfer case drop. (1in of stacked washers) also got my ZJ transfer case skid in.

http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4faadf5a.jpg

Looking good. I am pretty sure all front skids have the angle iron reinforcement. I bought mine from a member and it also had it.

Thanks and I thought so to but whin I looked at it closer the welds looked like crap but u may b right.

Hey, I really like the look with only 2".

What are the tires/wheels specs? Size - backspacing?

I'm not sure about the backspaceing the rims came with the jeep. But the tires are 33/12.5
Bridgestone Dueler MT.

And the 2" is on my wife's silver 92.

I picked up some neon 703 injectors today. I'm going to pick up an oring kit tomorrow and if I get the chance ill install them to.
