I'm new to the Jeep community and purchased this 1999 XJ for $1k after it was in a front end collision. Got the parts and did the work, fun project and I'm sure will be an ongoing one. This is going to be a great hunting rig as it's not too nice to scratch and dent but not ugly by any means. Motor is strong @ 142k miles. Suspension is a bit loose but I'm putting on new shocks and stabilizer soon. Got KB for shocks and Monroe for stabilizer. Overall, this is a solid ride but I'll reach out to the experts with questions as they come up. Help and comments are always appreciated.



Both Air bags deployed...





Replacing; AC Condenser, Radiator, Motor mounts, Grille, Grille Header Panel, lights, bumper w brackets,





Needed to replace both driver and passenger airbags and clock spring. EBay and R...auto $170 for all 3. Airbag lights off all good.





The previous owner hit a small Toyota, pushed fans into radiator and blew AC Condenser





Very strong 4.0L needed motor mounts. Already had power steering pump, water pump, belts and thermostat replaced 12 months ago and





Worked out well, now replacing shocks and steering stabilizer.

Welcome from England, nice job.

 

Thanks. I'm doing the shocks today. Almost zero rust so hoping for the best on the rear bolts.

 

Done with shocks, all worked out good. No broken bolts. Still need to do the stabilizer but ride is much nicer now.
