Project XJ Crawler Update
Well guys i spent most of the morning cutting off all the body off the XJ... i have it down to pretty much the frame and the roll cage....
i have to say im very disappointed on how thin the frame is... maybe im used to the almost 1/4" thick my CJ Frame has but this one looks super week... tomorrow im gonna trim off the excess floorboard that are still attached to the frame and cut out some of the tubing i dont need and give it a coat of black paint.... it still has a lot of work but it will slowly get their.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() just in case you guys didnt see what it looked like before this was it: ![]() let me know what you guys think -Raul |

![]() the XJ is a unibody and that is the reason why the frame is so thin... it uses all the sheetmetal i cut off to strengthen lol.... but ill be beefing up the crap out of the frame... the back half already has the DOM tubing going through the frame... i might do that to the front half.... i was gonna work on it some more today but im gonna spend some time with the lil one instead since shes home -Raul |

only a small section on the front that is not tubed so ill be adding it... it will pretty much be a full tube chasis... axles right now look like its gonna be 14 bolt rear and dana 60 front.... turbo 350 trans, 350 engine.... the transfercase i havnt pin pointed the exact one i want...atlas 2 would be ideal but this is a budget build... so i might just stick with a dana 300 with a tera low kit |
