I just picked up a 1986 Cherokee from a friend to start my build with. It has a 2.5 liter with fuel injection. Some mods that are already on the xj is headers, msd ingnition and cold air intake.
Here it is
First thing I had to do was pull out the carpet in the cargo area that was rotten and fix the rusted out floor.
Here is what I ended up with. I had some 1/8 in diamond floor plate laying around that I cut and tacked in place. I then used bondo to seal it off. It's not the best looking right now but I plan on cleaning it up and rolling bedliner
This is where I'm at right now
Plans are
3" lift
31x10.50 tires
Build new bumpers and tire carrier
Build drawer in cargo area
Get seat covers
Paint all interior trim, dash and console
Build roof rack
