That's Clint Rivera's ride (See the thread "Ruby: The story of a Jersey Girl"). I saved the original ad from where he bought it. The vin numbers match.
Oh dang! Sad to see it being sold. Let me go read the build thread.

XJ uses leaf springs, whereas the TJ uses coil springs. Mounts are different, as is the gear ratio to most TJ axles. 3.55 gears were in the 1997 TJ, but none later, that I'm aware of. Could you make it work? If you're good with fabricating mounts, and want to deal with the gearing issues, sure, but it sure seems like a lot of work to me.https://kansascity.craigslist.org/pts/d/independence-jeep-xj-dana-44/6814270427.html looking into this Dana 44. Does the XJ somewhat bolt in under a TJ? I'd re-gear it before putting it under too.

I saw that one a few weeks ago. It’s nice. With the AEV hiline kit you can run 37s with a 2” kit2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ - $22000

What the hell is "Roid Rage"? I know how I read it, and it sure as hell isn't something I want plastered on my Jeep. Of course, if you're already an @$$hole...https://stlouis.craigslist.org/ctd/d/newton-2000-jeep-wrangler-sport/6814918786.htmlNot sure if I want to laugh or cry over this TJ...
Guaranteed the owner of that tj is 5’8” and weighs 160lbs soaking wet. The decals are him making up for something lol. I feel for him.What the hell is "Roid Rage"? I know how I read it, and it sure as hell isn't something I want plastered on my Jeep. Of course, if you're already an @$$hole...
I wonder what the experts think of this build. I believe the prevailing wisdom is not to buy another build, but I'd be interested in your breakdown from this ad.

Dude has some serious talent. Unfortunately, I’m guessing those diff covers are not meant for jeeps.Need a wicked diff cover for your Dana 44? Check this out. This guy builds some unique stuff, for sure. Not everyone's cup of tea, but interesting, nonetheless...

Yeah, track bar clearance could be a real problem!Dude has some serious talent. Unfortunately, I’m guessing those diff covers are not meant for jeeps.
Here's kind of an odd ad. He's selling only the body and interior of a Rubicon, as he's using everything else on a Willys project.

I'm thinking I'd want to spend less money on one that wasn't as nice if I was going to build a rock crawler that was going to get beat up. Others might think differently, however.perfect if you want to build a rock crawler
