The good thing is noone was hurt badly (My back is tweaked I'll be going to a hospital tonight ) On the plus side I was the only one able to drive away so GOOOOOOOOOO Jeep !
As far as I can tell I need a Front bumper, Header Panel, Grille, Headlight bezels, Turnsignal , Bumper endcaps That is as much as I am aware of at a quick glance, At work tomorrow I am going to have Brady (90LSTurbo) check my alignment an make sure I have nothing bent or broken, along with re balance my tire

Mechanical engineers certificates required to get permits, also a swerve roll over test done by the police ( bloody expensive ! ) meaning they won't accept home made suspension/lift mods without an engineering check.

Australia has some very strict ( and sometimes stupid ) automotive laws. New laws for lift and tyres are "2+2" being 2" of lift over standard and 2" larger diameter than the largest tyre supplied from factory 
that means 31" tyres without permits for an XJ !!

Started fixing a rust hole. Don't have a welder so I'm having to fiberglass and bodyfill it unfortunately.

I took the new brake shoes back to the parts store and found that the 9" box had 10" shoes in it. Hopefully get those on soon. Came home and threw my tools in it for tomorrow's trip to Pull-A-Part.
