I'm looking for one for my dad. That one is perfect. But I'm in no rush. Other priorities right now

Thanks for the links.
Have you ever seen someone modify a can type mount like this for a XJ? Can the stops be moved outside of the front springs?

You can put them anywhere....as long as the have a stop point to hit, and are mounted to a solid footing.

If you figure this out let me know. I stopped offering advice for the most part because people like to think with dollar signs instead of taking care and building a good rig. I wish someone would have got ahold of me before I sent $500 on my RC kit. I would have saved and did it right. This is what I hope to do with the TJ.

Then again, people think money = good. Whereas sometimes this can be true, I will build my rig entirely with used parts. I will save a lot of money, and it will be a good build.
Doing it right does NOT require a lot of money...it DOES require patience and a bit of extra work.

The hardest part is figuring out the damage to the engine. If you hit hard enough to bend the balancer, you may have done some serious damage to the engine.
I am NOT trying to scare you or anything. You have decisions to make. In order to test that engine you need to free it up....get everything out of the way....then you have to do repairs to the bracketry and radiator prior to starting it. Pretty sure to put in a new radiator, you will need a new core support. You will not get a new core support even IN until you bend the unibody back to it;s original shape. Now....once you fix ALL that so you can safely run the engine long enough to truly assess the engine, the engine COULD be toast.
The decision you need to make is....go forward with THIS JEEP? Or move on, part it out, get another one, and learn from this mistake.
Again, I am not trying to scare you, but give you a realistic view of what you are looking at. It is NOT as simple and rosy as everyone trying to make you feel better is making it sound.
As always, I am trying to be helpful even though my comments may hurt a little.

It's a car. It has no real value. You will not be on your death bed wondering why you didn't keep Barney going. You and tommy being healthy is all that matters. No one would care about Barney if one of you guys were seriously injured.
