Got the sliders on & XJ speaker bar thingy
Then installed the radio
Takin it to work tmro & over to AO for a once over

Looking good Paul. So, what paint job did you settle on yet?

think I'm gonna go with the digi cammo.
Paint does look a bit rough so it will be nice to get a fresh coat on it.

So far things seem good, drove it into work, can smell something roasting but no smoke.

Joe & Ryan took a look at the XJ, both complemnted on my welding and over all work!
They suggested I add more camber before they alighn it, so when I got home we did just that, drove thru our hood, but not enough to notice a difference.
Hope to get it in tmro and get it alighned.

Now the bad...
I put the big gear (final drive?) in wrong in the transfer case... so it wont go into H4/N/L4
So I now get to take it apart for the 4th time in a week :(
Other than that everything look good!

On a side note something happend today that really made my day,
While driving to the office an older gal in a newer Liberity that had a small lift & a roof rack passed me & gave me the thumbs up & told me it look good :)g)

Just some pics to update this thread...


These were taken by Bill on the Saturday the HG guys went to MOAB.





And the door removal :rockon:

Looks good. I had fun riding with Geoff and his doorless beast.

You gonna cage it? (Looks great, bubba.)

If I had the $$ hell ya!!!!

But Im doing a hinge mod & half doors, this way I can go Full, 1/2 or NO DOORS :rockon:

Have I mentioned lately that you are a stud?

Speaking of caging... I took these in Moab for Geoff to look at. Clean through and through cage:

Just a few random pics of the hinge mod & then the door.





And the end result :rockon:

man, that's sexy...

XJ porn, dude. XJ porn.

The doors looked awesome Paul. Nice work.

For the most part all 4 doors are done, I ran out of rivits and wasent able to finish my rear driver door.
Ill get some better pictures but for now heres what we got.

Back from the dead... an update!
So it only took me a year & a half to paint it..

Took Friday off work (too much time in the office needed a break)
So to make the most of my time I painted the XJ.

Thanks to Mike for the use of the tacky paper / tape
Prep work / color process (paint a color, cover it & paint another color, cover... you know.. )



Final color - main coat





New sticker (Thanks again Mike!!)

Love it!

Dig the new look Paul!

Very cool, brother. Looks great. I'm still lovin' me some half doors on that rig and the Humble acknowledgement for Zack is uber cool.
