You’re off to a good start with that list, It helps that you have a 44 sitting around :smiling_imp: So what was wrong with it in the first place? Fuel filter? The only thing I can add to your list is recovery points first lol

So I guess you liked my buddy’s XJ. Glad it went to someone who’s not just gonna drive it into the ground. Gotta keep em alive.

the fuel filter was wicked nasty & I had to replace the ignition switch today
The tow points will be inergrated into the bumpers mounting setup

ya bob was pretty cool gave me a hell of a deal and replaced the fuel filter too.

that’s a hell of a list. a lot of work. I just welded the floors in my XJ drivers side and passenger side, took me like 9 hours to do but what the hell I got nothing better to do

So I can call you for help when I’m ready to do mine. :laughing:

feel free

Pulled the carpet out of the back today.

I think I have a little bit of work ahead of me.

Holy $hit! :open_mouth: I think your gonna need more than that can of Coke to remove that rust! LOL

Crown has the panels for the xj

Cut Out all the crap & patched together a new floor in the rear today out of 16 gauge from Lowes.
I tried to get it from South County Steel but they failed to call me back in time.
& I just saw Axles post about crown

hope my sons doesn’t look like that under the carpet.

they all do

X2 I’m starting to get it in mine.
