This is what I started with. Thanks to Scotty (a.k.a. the Tourist ) for the 30 pics I'm still trying to download. DAY 1: Pushed vehicle into shop. Removed all junk inside and out. Removed 2" x 6" which was acting as a rear tailgate. Removed motor transmission which was a 4 cylinder, 5 speed, two-wheel drive. Thanks to CVO and Steve-O for the Reflex Spray-in bedliner. Again, thanks to Steve-O for the masterpiece of work on the Reflex bedliner in the cab area. Reinstalled all interior trim pieces. Painted the dash black, inner door panel map holders black, grab handles painted black, changed the steering wheel to a grey leather wrapped one. Installed seat belts and passenger side seat. I think that's it for DAY 1. More pics to follow as long as Scotty remembers his camera Stay tuned for Day 2 tomorrow.

I heard you can eat off the frame of that thing. You beat me to the carcass by 1 hour.
Good start.....looks like it flew apart. Let me know if you need parts - I've got that XJ bumper/unibody mount all ready to burn.
