found that i didnt have a 00 xj block like the PO said. turns out its a 99 wj block. Brown Dog Offroad sent me a custom set of brackets for this conversion. only 3rd set they have made. OUTSTANDING customer service, very impressed.

I love how clean your truck looks. That white is bright. Don't really like the JCR bumper though. It looks too bulky on that truck. Other wise sweet.

Alright...

1. I kinda like the Knockoff truck. Looks pretty cool for a driver.

2. Those are two of the nicest MJs I've seen. I'm diggin the dark colored one with all the black steel on it.

Mine WILL look good before I die. I have too many projects!
 
you need a rear bumper

You need a t-case skid......


Man thats a badass MJ. Mine is not sold yet so I guess i'm gonna 3.4 swap it and drive the piss out of it.
 
Nice build. I'd love to get ahold of a clean MJ and throw a 97+ swap on it.
 
got the new to me rubi 44 up front and the RK 3 link put on. still need to wire up the compressor, run some air line and fine tune axle placement/alingment. the lift fought me going on so im pretty sick of the truck right now
