    removed the rear half of the carpet and the headliner

    hooked up the in line fuel pump and some lines to the fuel cell, she fired up and i was able to drive around witht he front wheels

    thinking about mounting the fuel cell crossways behind the rear seat like so, need to get some better fuel lines tho

    every time i make progress it seems somthing else comes up,

    i made some hard lines for the fuel cell

    got the rear drive shaft lengthened and installed, once installed i noticed a crunching sound, decided to pull the diff cover to look see, couldnt get all the bolts off, but was able to see in there and all the welds are broken in there

    so my list for clayton as of now
    reweld rear axle
    mount fuel cell and add supports
    run vent line
    rework steering
    install new cb

    So after making an extra air vent through the bottom of the motor and sitting for a year, the XJ finally went towards the bright light in the sky and there is no turning around for it. I am going to pull the good usable parts and scrap/sell the rest. Going to keep the tcase, tires, fuel cell and front axle. If anyone wants anything let me know.

    My neighbor was selling a 94 YJ on 33's with a 4.0 and AX15 for the right price and this will be the new play toy.
