Looks very clean and your off to a great start!

 

Love a clean white XJ, now get out the sawzall and have at it 😜

 

Looks good, fellow 01’ buddy!

 

Welcome from PA!

looks very clean lets see some more pics

also looks pretty stock lol

 

haha yeah i just got it and it has a few issues i need to take care of. one of the brackets is cracked and horribly welded back on the front dana 30 so i picked up a HP Dana 30 last night. i will post some pics of the rebuild of the front diff! as soon as the parts come in. also here are a couple more pics added to the first post

 

So I need some advice. I’m building this Jeep for overlanding not rock crawling and was wondering if a locker up front would be a good purchase or if an open carrier up front will be fine. I will have limited slip Chrysler 8.25 in the rear. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

I’m guessing you want a autolocker up front? Seems like a good idea to have one up there. That’s what I’m planing on doing. Our builds are probably quite similar at least on a conceptual level.

I have 4.5” lift on 32s. Mine is not really intended for any kind of hardcore rock crawling. Since I haul my son around in it, I wanted to keep proper road manners. You can check out my build through the link in my signature. I will possibly be buying a D30 Spartan this Christmas time.
