Replaced the shoes, wheel cylinders, and some hardware on the passenger side including brake shoe adjuster. Now I can stop . Now I just need to get that pesky rear sway bar off.

pulled a rear bumper with a factory swing-out spare tire holder and the rear hatch with the spare tire holder hitch from a junk yard xj. Swapped rear hatches in the junk yard parking lot and will be swapping rear bumpers later today, need sleep first tho.

What's the best/cheapest way to remove a security lug nut (spare tires is held on with one, and there wasn't a key socket in the glove box)?

see if u can borrow a nut extractor kit from someone. its a socket with teeth that you hammer on to the nut than use a wrench and take it off like a regular nut.
