well looks like this 26 year old east coast beater has a bit more brake issues that first thought...

awaiting the laundry list of needed parts after its went through a throughout inspection this morning..

Plans are still a keeper… with body work and paint eventually…

First want to get it mechanically perfect, and locate all interior parts..

Smike.. wanna try your hand at body work.. I’m stopping by custom truck this week in the MJ to see about a paint quote…
For what’s it’s worth I would rather you do the body work.. his guy it a bit of a perfectionist and well.. it’s a 26 yr old truck.. I don’t need perfection.. just good.

Wheels came in today also…
Getting them sent out to get refinished…

you had turbine wheels on your XJ?
those are the center caps for those specific wheels.. they dont fit anything else...
