The designs are definitely XJ. There sure are a lot of ways to increase the unibody strength that become apparent when the pans are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howeitsdone Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I bet you could easily put slats in the frame rails. Or even drop some square tubing in there. Also looks like you cut out the mounting bolt and then welded back in. Any particular reason or was it just easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replacement pans are for an XJ which doesn’t have the upper brace with the seat mounting stud in it. The pan is fairly long and needs to be sandwiched under that upper frame casing.
