Built new fenders for the junk yard xj. I know their ugly but they will do their job i might build a tube flare on them to look a little better. Got a 14 bolt rear and a ford 44 front. I also baught 900$ worth of four link parts and havnt even got coils yet.
 
I would in the very least run some angle supports on the crossmember across the factory stamped part and plate the bottom in. I have a pile of those things shaped like horseshoes.


That thing looks, um. unique.
 
LOL yeah its a pile of parts like i said i dont care what it looks like i just want it to be reliable. And im not done with the crossmember im gonna plate the bottom and beef up the sides. I am building a flat fender right now and this rig just keeps me in the woods but i broke a 30 front shaft and for me thats one to many so i decided to go big and i had the axles already problem is i have to have it done by new years so ive been working on it all day everyday.

What was wrong with it? Seems like we might need to set it up right if the diffs match.
 
The diffs do match he needs shocks and weight in the bed its to light so it hops and spins like crazy. And dericks truck is back together and running as of today.
