HOrnbrod Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Looks great, tastefully done. The more I see of the late model XJ front end the more I like it. I would love to see some more pics of the finished engine bay and the interior. Beautiful rig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my SOA and u-bolt eliminator in the back, then used some coil springs that were given to me in the front, along with Acos spacers to level.
