This is a one of a kind and it's F*ckin' AWESOME!
Yes the hub locks and unlocks to allow the wheel to spin, the pivot/hinge is also a D44 hub/spindle/manual locking hubs and can lock in any position. This bumper is set up for a cut and fold quarter panel. If you gotta ask what that means...it ain't for you.

So I will be the one to ask "why are you parting it out"? Looks like a sweet xj and really love the rear bumper. So on the suspension, are you separating or keeping it together? I need some rear shocks for my 93.

Tranny went out on it and I need to get a car that I can rely on and pay bills to. My full time job doesn't pay very well ans the 4x4 business is lackluster at best.

Food before fun.....

Sorry to see you selling it Frank. I followed you builds over on NAXJA back when I had an XJ. Best of luck to you.

[JeepWrench]

miles on the motor? i am interested in using this for a v8 swap on my rubicon

[Serious Offroad]

It had approx. 90K when I got it, I've put 16 K on it.

Before any one asks or comments about the price....

I'm going to start pulling the motor on Sunday, so if you (Anyone) want to hear it run let me know ASAP.

so if you (Anyone) want to hear it run let me know ASAP.

For your benefit, you should grab some video of it running for whoever does buy it down the road.

Winch
JKS Quicker disconnects

Did you sell the whole jeep or all parts?

[Serious Offroad]

A little of both.
