Decided to start a build thread on my new XJ. Removed the front houseing and all steering linkage from my rolled Jeep. Removed Johny Joint lower controllarm's. Removed stock houseing from new Xj,Had to grind off upper control arm bolt on passsenger side not an easy job with the starter there. Draged the new front under the new Jeep, and an old houseing under the old one, note** get help next time I do this and started instaling Creeepy upper and lower control arm's. Borowing a spring compressor tomorow, and going back @ it wen's nite I hope ;D 2b continued. Da Dogg

I wondered when you would post that you started the build ,i'm sure all the help you give there's a bunch of guys that would lend a hand. You should take some pics and put a thread in the fab section Dogg. ;D Glad to see you're rebuilding .

Front spring's are in ;D 31" tires, no lift in the rear, and I have 36 1/2" @ the top of the wheel well/ flair. ;D Cant wait to get the back done. Will remove front tires again and retourque everything and connect lower shock later. Rear tire's are off, one shackel is broken and I have one bolt half way out. Going back @ it after supper. Due to fear of future harassment, I did take a few pic's, willl post later. Da Dogg

sawsall, cut down by both sides, then when ya get the spring out. put it against something heavy, with a hole in it, and drive the remaining bolt out.... if that doesn't work. start drilling
