89 Comanche 2wd long bed conversion

[G00SE]

Might as well go ahead with my build thread.

Although I might as well also warn you this will probably be a long one, as I'm looking to y'all for encouragement and wisdom...

My plans are to convert the front-clip,Doors,Interior,wiring&complete dash to 97-01 year model also from 2wd to 4wd with at least a 6" longarm lift.

And obviously Wheels&Tires and Bumpers on front&rear...

Already been searching far&wide for Cherokees for donors and found several really good buys but the ones I'd like are in the price range of $4000-$6000 & that's for me just too high to trash a perfectly good vehicle..

Anyway this is what I'm starting with:

Also planning on recycling whats left from this conversion of the Cherokee with something like this:

Planning on something like these for flares for the fenders also:

So, I've picked up a 1998 XJ Sport 4x4 for the transformation. In no hurry though to get started, a little intimidate to be perfectly honest. Not concerned that much with the driveline or the exterior body parts either, however the wiring and interior I've swap not to confident with that. But only 2 things happen either it'll be a total success or failure...

I'll have to resize the pictures of the XJ to post them..
