Can't say that I have! I looked at all of your pictures though, very nice. I would be the guy running up and down 31 near the base in O.D. Green with an orange Kayak on top.

I did absolutely nothing to my Jeep today because I'm out of the state for work. My minions, however, listed my XJ on Craigslist for parts, and are dissecting it while I'm away.
Parts money from the XJ = paint money for the MJ

Swapped in the 96 brake master/booster. And getting ready to start removing all the little things under the hood so I can pull the motor trany and transfer this week. I figure I have about 20hrs into this swap. But it's starting to look real good. Dash, head liner (built a frame for the soft top), speaker bar, steering column, back seats, the interior wiring harness, and all the interior trim.

Ive put two 302's in cj's. I was unhappy with the outcome. Ive done about ten sbc swaps, way better in my opinion.

I ordered the following :

JCR Gas Tank Skid
Rigid Fabrication FbW2 Winch Bumper
Spartan Locker for 29 spline 8.25

Well all I have left now are mounts and the motor and trany/trans will be ready to be pulled. But as far as fluids they are all out. Man the oil was full of gas and there must have only been a gallon of coolant. But everything is ready

You forgot to mention your minion storing and selling your old mj cap for you.

I paid $412. It's normally like 450 but it was a display model so I got it cheaper
