Another view of the front. Nasty, rusted, dented bumper that needs to go away. Hey, it even used to have fog lights...

Front- showing why I need new bumper(s) and the track bar still needing relocated (or an adj. one).

Left 3/4 view. Doors were pre-dented to make me not worry so much about trail damage. Thanks to the PO for that! :-)

Close-up of the Dakota Bastard Pack. This is all the leaves from the Dakota (main cut down to XJ size) bolted to the XJ main leaf. Spring clamps need to be opened up for more flex but it got me on the road.

Pics of the new GoodYear Authority tire. Working great so far (1100 miles or so on them now).

Here is the custom spacer to bring the front more even with the rear. Bastard pack got rear to 4.75" of lift when front was only 3". Added a second stock isolator but still felt too downhill, so had the shop where I work cut this 1/2" steel spacer. I should have painted it before install but I'm not taking it out now just for paint! I may rattle can it in place though...
