After blowing our motor at York, we dropped in a 98 Grand Cherokee block into the 2K. Swapped heads so we had no compatibility issues with intake and exhaust.
(finding a downpipe for a 2wd XJ is impossible, especially when you are 250 miles from home and have 1 day to swap)

When I first got them, I had them in some slick mud and didn't care for them. After pulling out that f350 on 37s, I absolutely love them. They dug in and I didn't get stuck once going through the same spot that ford did

Sanded, primed, and painted my JY flares. Didn't get them installed though
I also got the JY brackets drilled for the new bolts and fabbed up the replacement bracket for the left rear. Still need to weld the bolts in place, and find some washers. Everywhere I have gone is sold out of the proper size washer for the bolts I got
