Oh ya the only other brand new thing other then the battery was the warn winch. thinking about it though..... should have maybe held out and got one of the many used ones I have seen come on here. Like the 9000lbers that i have seen going for 500$ Thats what the new 8000lb went for. Oh well all the more I know when i build my kids jeeps when they get to the age of driving.

The green bomber behind the XJ was another reason I wanted to do this..... It was on its last leg, but the wife still dosnt want me buy a full size to tow my YJ. So I wanted to build somthing that I could go wheel but not have to trailer.

Thats awesome, again sweet build thread thanks for sharing and keeping track of it all
Wow that rig looks nice, props on doing everything super cheap! I tip my hat to you sir.
Do you still have the white donor? I would rob body panels from you and help feed the budget beast. Looking at both pas. Doors and the fenders if you still have it. I would have tried to PM you but I am new to the forum and haven't figured out how to on the mobile version.
