Hi All,I have been away from the site for a while messing with military vehicles but I am back now with another project XJ.90 Limited,Leather, power everything,windows,mirrors,seats,compass,thermomet er 4.0 Auto NP242 3.55 gears ..I bought it off Chris (Elohim1) wrecked and it came with a hood and fender and it even came with a piece of the inner fender I needed to piece into the wrecked side..I had to cut the inner fenderwell out and weld the new piece in..It went ok and everything lined up fine..I put the fender on and hood,Pulled the bumper out..I bought a nosepiece and grill from a guy on the C.O.R.E. site here local with lights ant signals etc in it for $60 and it went on fine too...I removed all the hood latch's etc and went with hood pin's..
Elohim1 came over and we ripped all the fender flares and trimmed the heck out of the fenders..I ordered a Rustys 4.5" Spring pack Complete lift kit with everything I will need as well as ordering 5 33x9.50x16 tractor tires and 5 Cragar soft eights 7x16 w/4" backspacing for it..I will be installing the lift and tires next weekend if it's not raining..I have to do it outside or I won't be able to get it out of the garage..Sorry for the long post but I am long winded..

We are going to paint it the same color as elohim1's old one in the back of his truck..
