[QUOTE="BustedKnucklefilms, post: 743897, member: 875"] We plan to do mostly bolt on with some light fabwork. I think since my competition is the Jeep guru that he should do the ZJ and I will build the XJ. This is what I have in mind for the $5k budget. (We can also sell parts off the vehicle to add to our budget) 98-99 XJ with 4.0HO and Auto (factory tow package had lower gears?) run 8.25 or swap in 8.8 Maybe swap in front axles from a 4cyl for the lower gears? Tack ujoint caps on front axle or swap to chromos if budget allows? SYE 4.5" Long Arm Kit Fender Trimming DIY Steel Beadlocks and 35s Some fabbed up bracing and rock protection Winch [/QUOTE]
