Yep, blue pickup and red(ish) jeep xj. :thumbsup:
more pics as i slowly get a couple things done on a tight budget, i found this bumper on craigslist for 60 bux...not bad considering most that i see are goin for well over 100 bux anywho i also added lower support bars for my oversized front bumper that belongs to a full size bronco lol...i decided to keep it since the bars around the headlights almost perfectly line up with my tires and make good eye markers

I like the tail lights in those awesome boxes. You made a good trade. These are the rears usually associated with a Cherokee.....http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll187/90BlueXJ/Jeep%20assembly/Diiferentials.jpg

The vacuum "motor" on the disco D30. The one that controls the shift fork. I happen to know alot about those... due to the fact of all the work I have done in that area of the axle. 3 seals and I just replaced mine because the shift fork broke. I have also taken one apart to start building a posi-lock but ran into a problem.
