How easy is the ZJ gas tank skid? I've got one off a parts ZJ and hesitate selling it to someone with an XJ not knowing the ease or difficulty of installing it.

Break a leg, Hen. Lots of good advice given. Glad to hear you're going, it's a good decision.

I somehow found a brand new transmission for a price i couldn't pass up and swapped that in along with a transmission mount also from Stinky Fab. during all of this I fixed my death wobble with some Currie control arms, I'm very happy about those! Next I moved on to the aesthetics of the rig. My dad and I completed the sheet metal fender flairs sent them off to ponder coat. I also ordered the Mojave front bumper from Dirtbound Offroad, which matches the fenders PERFECTLY!!! Then I got to work truck bed lining the lover quarter panels with U-Pul Raptor Liner, with the help of both mom and dad. The next day we applied all my new black decals. The current project that is still in the works is the custom roof rack. It will be at powder coat soon! I also need to track down a code its throwing, P1391. I replaced the CKP yesterday and the light went off, but it turned back on today. Besides that I think the rig looks pretty good.
So anyways here is some pics!
Engine getting put in:

Finished the rear bastard pack! Forgot to measure but looks to be about 3" of lift maybe? What do y'all think? Gonna put the ZJ coils and spacers on tomorrow.

Stock suspension with the same trimming you did on 235/75r15s.... I'll let you be the judge.
3.5" on 31's w/ the trimming:
