I thought this could be a fun thread to show where you started vs where you are now!

What did your XJ look like when you first got it, and what does it look like now?

Here's the first photo I took of mine vs the most recent photo I've taken

Hey man, good thread idea!

Here's my forever-going-project:

Here she is the day after I brought her home. '92 2wd Laredo with low-profile street tires.



(Ignore the sign - tried doing a little computer side-business but it fell down dead)

And as she sits now with a 4wd conversion, 3.5" lift, 33" tires, and a 97+ front clip conversion.... among other things.

Here's mine... Still need to finish it up so I can actually drive it again, but I'm not sure when I'll even have time to.

Meant to tell ya man, that's a really clean 2door. I've always kinda had a soft spot for those steel wheels. If it didn't cost so much, it might be kinda cool to get custom centers made with those on 15x8 w/ 3.75" bs.
