    Summary of swapping a 95 ZJ fuel tank into my 2000 XJ, with the goal of increasing capacity and range. I sourced a clean, used ZJ tank to begin this project. This tank measures out slightly wider and and more square than the XJ tank, which provides a net increase of 3 gallons (20 vs 23)...

    With the bottom side beefed up, I welded on the tail-light fillers and shackle tabs, which tie into the bumper mounts, which then tie into the receiver mounting points on the uniframe. I chopped the center tube out of my stock receiver hitch and replaced the cross tube with a section of...

    1960 Apache C10

    This gem has been in the family since the mid-80's, when my father purchased it from our neighbor, Herb Olsen. It rarely left Morgan County and was used as Herb's primary transportation and as a farm truck. I don't recall ever seeing it travel faster than 40MPH. Prior to my father passing away...

    "Progressive" bump stops

    I've run the "quad-rate" bumpstops on the rear of my XJ for several years. FWIW, I've run Prothane 6 ring coil inserts https://www.prothanesuspensionparts.com/191704 with modified bump plates up front for the last 12 yrs, and they do a great job for the type of wheeling and occasional...
