Continuing with minor modification and sprucing up, the centers of the wheel caps were pretty shabby looking so I ordered 60mm "3D" plastic stickers/inserts to put on them. I ordered both AMC and "carbon-look" Jeep inserts. (The AMCs were a custom order, the Jeep stickers a normal stock item.)
For now I decided to go with a tribute to the XJ's original designers, later on I may install the Jeep inserts. Maybe find a 2nd set of center caps so they can be changed as the mood strikes.
The wheels also need painting which I probably will not get to until spring at this point. (Masking off the tires is a time-consuming PITA and the window of good weather is sure to close soon...)
The stickers came from the following outfit which is located in the Ukraine, it took about 10 days for them to arrive:

Finish changing the bushings on the front suspension. Did the divers side last Tuesday, today was the passenger side. Only bushings I haven't changed now are the front eyes on the leaf springs and I am not going to do them. Too much work to get the leafs off and i am replacing the AAL with full leafs next spring or summer. Next on my before winter list is front axle seals. I don't want to be rolling around in the snow topping off the diff this winter.

I'll have to see if I can score a set of sacrificial playing cards at the dollar store.
