Well finally got me a jeep . Its an 88 jeep wagoneer, exact same thing as the XJ Cherrokee, except for lights and the wood grain.

I picked it up for 480 bucks, guy said it had a blown motor, well the torque converter bolts came out, only problem.

Other issue is the the guy didnt regear the 8.8 in the rear to match the Dana 30 so the pinion and carrier bearings are shot in the Dana 30. Axle swap? or just rebuild Dana 30?

ill post pictures up later.

Plans are:
-Fix front axle
-Get Tires
-Bed Liner interior
-Fix all the wiring and lights
-Build Bumpers and Frame Sliders
-Paint Desert Tan
 
Named the project Bad News

pics are coming, trying to get them posted.

tube bumper is fab, just have to weld it up

built frame sliders out of dodge ram tube steps
