it has a healthy 4.0 but will get an R2.8 at some point, I知 having a custom drive shaft made up, the frame is beefed up with stiffeners that will be tied into rocker panels, creating a sub frame that is tied into the MJ bed frame, for the time being I just have a slightly beefed up Dana 30 and 35 until I can figure out if I will go Dana 44 Ford 8.8 or go full 1 tons at some point.

Here's something I really like and would like to do one day. It would also add a modern touch to match the new seats. Sorry about the pic.
Another idea is to remove the ashtray in the back of the center console and replacing it with a cigarette lighter/USB.

Done light/map light from one of the higher trim levels up front and a rear done light in back.

Vent windows in the front doors and a slider back window unless your brave enough to convert the fixed glass in the back doors to swing out vents. Hint, the hardware from the swing out side window of a late 80 ford ranger extra cab should be about right.

Do the GOJEEP wider opening rear door mod.

Graft in a factory XJ RENIX era sunroof and surrounding tin if you can find one.

Under dash foot well lights up front and under the back of the front seats to light up the back floor.

Work over the heater ducting to put heat and AC out the back of the center console.

Add a set of of those factory door panel catch trays to the front & rear door panels.

Put a cigarette lighter socket in the back of the console for a power outlet.

Grab handles above all four doors.

Don't know if a XJ rear speaker bar would clutter up the cab but it'd be a good place to mount speakers.
