For starters, got the front all mocked up and ready to go, then ran out of time to actually weld the mounts on that day. Welded the front coil mounts and swaybar brackets together, then realised I needed to do that on the diff, so cut a slot so it would fit to the diff without having to undo a heap of weld. (I'm not great at reading instructions)
Started putting the diffs in tonight after work. Got the rear in, the rear bolted up stupidly easy. Used ZJ rear brake lines (had to drill them out to suit the JK banjo bolts) and they connect straight up to the XJ hard lines. (Will get pics tomorrow)
Welded the front coil mounts onto the front diff, and tomorrow the front diff goes in. Hopefully the Panhard and bracket turns up in time. Will be using a JK pitman Arm and steering linkages. Not sure how I'm going to get the steering damper to mount, but I will.
