Hey guys, I got a new project on the way. I'm currently off in the desert of Iraq, but have some unique plans for when I get home, haha. I have a 2wd XJ that my wife used to drive, and the engine is still running strong! Rather than sell it, I'm thinking about starting a Prerunner project. Any tips? Anyone ever do this before?

Very nice. I dig the bumper. Did you get that from socaloffroad? They have one very similar for $350. Just got another XJ however, but it's still 2wd. Only difference is I finally found the 4.0 5 speed 2 door I've been waiting for.

You want it to look like one, or be one? What are your plans for suspension?
