Today I took my fender panel off. I learned how to remove the front clip which is going to be useful. But anyways in the process of whacking out the dents in my fender I messed up the bolt holes, after awhile of wrestling with the fender panel I got all the bolts back on but now when I try to put the flare on there is a little gap by the drivers door. being the perfectionist that I am, I'm probably going to just not run the flares in the front that way there aren't any gaps to bother me

Ditched the tiny speakers in the hatch for some nice pioneer 6x9s I had laying around.

First thing first... Plate the unibody. Alot. Then some more.

Research. Google. Here. Alot of good info. But to be honest, for that kind of modding, i'd go check out pirate4x4. Be warned, they ain't easy on people.

And 12" of lift, 2.5 ton axles and 40's (boggers i assume) is gonna be alot of stress on the unibody.

My advice would be to find a cheap old full size truck. XJs just aren't meant for it

Ordered new rear upper shackle bolts so I can finish the lift in the rear next weekend.

Picked up an 8.8 for $100, have to drive about 45 min there and 45 back to get it though and my truck sucks on gas lol. I can't complain though, it's half of what they normally go for around here and my rear brakes are starting to go anyway and I'd rather spend the money on disk brakes than drum.

Heading into work here shortly to finish up my rear bumper.
