Just a few pics. Painted wheels, grill and rocker panel. New fenders as well!


Shout-out to a Mr. Bill Ball. Without him and his uncanny tolerance of my immaturity the rig would most likely look the same as the day it left Alan's house! I would also like to thank Paul for providing Bill with the most beautifully trimmed XJ fenders I have ever seen.

Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed! You don't gotta yell us :( we just miss you!


Jeep looks sick though dude, I love it.

I can still see the mark my balls left on the passenger door.
Good thing you posted up. We were going to trade the HG stickers out for FaceBook ones.

incredibly sick! Love it... HG approved mismatched tires and all. I am so happy it's yours and you are making it yours. I was worried some dick from the VJC would buy it and I would hate seeing it on the trail. LOL

(PS - I ordered my tires today, so we need to look into a light run soon to get her dirty again.)

Ahaaa "winning" bunch...clever, Mike?...Alan?

Sounds like a plan Alan! I've been itching hit the dirt, it's been 16 months since I've gone out for the sole purpose of wheeling! :O

Your welcome bud! Happy you like it. Good thing i kept those fenders around. You coulda come out with us last weekend Caleb.... Now my rig is back down at barbaric.

Well I only heard rumors on FB about the run and didn't see anything here...prolly just skimmed over it. Cant wait to see what Bryant has in store for your rig (again!)

It was a VJC run... sounds like it was a blast though.

looks good Caleb!

I'm horrible at maintaining suspense so here my game plan.

- New paint (darker than shown below)
- Thor4x4 1/4 panel guards/steel taillight housing
- Rear Stinger
- Trophy Truck/baja style light bar
- Roof Rack
- km/2s (35s)
- 17" Spyderlocks.

Some other items which are not apparent in the picture will be an int. cage, frame stiffening, remote reservoir shocks, LEDs, and boatsides.

Get back with me within a decade and I'll have made my goal. ;)

So what is the thing on the xj that no one has ever done before?

Well I was talking about the rear stinger, trying to build anticipation but we all know can't do that. I should have said "rarely done" because I've only seen it on one other XJ.

You should put a 14b in the front. Dont think some has done that to a XJ yet. 14b, is a 14 bolt but make it a steering axle. P.S. that one sexy front bumper.
