I have it pointed toward the front,somebody else said the same thing must be the way the speakers are made making the bar look backward or the angle of the pic,I might flip the speakers around so the face the front better.Heres one from inside you can tell its facing the front.

Good day at Windrock Sun..Noticed some loud clunking from the front end thought it was the locker,turns out my steering box is taking a crap so its Durango time!And when I removed the air box to get to the PS pump hose I saw that one of my motor mounts is missing most of the bushing so time for new ones.Also ordered some outer axle tube seals.Heres a video.

I put the durrango box in last week. It is a direct bolt in. The box and new lines put me back about $150 or so. Not to bad. I haven't put it through the major test yet. I want to brace it more first. But so far so good and I put about 100 miles on it so far.

Haha yeah I hear ya there. If you don't have any issues pulling your old lines off, and they look ok, then I would just use those same ones for the durango box. You need to use your XJ pitman arm tho. The durango one has a ball joint built into it. So you will need a pitman arm puller if you don't have one. I just went to AZ and "borrowed" one for a few minutes.
