Well they are on. Really pleased with them, have an issue with one that I will resolve quickly. Jeep is super super dirty.









kbstangs new Jeep just about finished up.


Token shot of the new ride.

Look great! What was the issue, if you don't mind. Also I dig the bike. I need to get out and ride mine more, but I've gotten busy/lazy.

I like it. Wheels came out better than what I imagined after seeing tires mounted.

Now lets LS swap it.

i second that!!

Minus the spoiler, hood vents, and front clip badging - this is easily my favorite 2 door build and I can't believe I am just now seeing it. I think it's because my employee blocks most image hosting sites and I always skipped it because the photos don't load. That's why I always upload mine directly to the forum.

Glad I looked on mobile though. Sweet Jeep and I'm glad you went with the solid dark rims even though you had doubted it in previous posts in your thread.

I think I got a wheel that had soft metal and 2 of the lug holes mushroomed.

Thank you. Funny I have a LM7 and have all the parts for a complete LS7 in the garage.

Hmmmm. Those are all things that make it unique. I appreciate the input and thanks for the props though.

Gave it a bath last night, can not wait until I am driving it again honestly.

Poor pics, but the idea is there.

No offense intended, they just aren't for me. It's the same for when people put tire carriers on their xjs, I just wouldn't on mine. As a whole the jeep looks great.

I had purchased a Dorman passenger side lock motor/latch and over the 4th of July weekend, and tried to install to only have an epic failure and it would not work. I adjusted it for 30 minutes and it would never allow the door to open from the outside.

A lot of work wasted.

old


apart


junk piece


So I up ordering a new OEM piece and give it a whirl on the install this week. What would you know works like a champ. Also installed new door clip retainers.





Also got my wheel swapped out and repowdercoated. I will NEVER deal with Tread Depot again as they left me holding a bag on the deal. You can clearly see the issue here.







Finally all back together.



I also got the ZJ 5.9 Limited I had been building all done and ready for the new owner.





All done

Well Sunday was the official headliner install day. It was long overdue.

Old saggy headliner


Coming out


Its out


Clean in here


Man I really hate this part




Going back on


Trimmed out and ready


Back together




One little mess up that I am not proud of


Did save the 4wd selector sticker


It is such a terrible job. The disassembly and reassembly takes about 30 mins, but doing the headliner takes hours. But its done and looks better.

Had a nasty storm roll through the other night, so she spent the night in the garage at the lake.



Had someone ask me about the Toyo RT and the look, so I snapped a couple pics.





And finally huge thanks to OneWay lights for sending me out some replacement/updated lights. Great service and support.

So I got in some GTechniq NANO ClearVision SmartGlass window coatings and decided to try it out on the XJ and the Mercedes.

It's a semi permanent coating they say will last 2 years. I am hoping that is does the job Rain X does with less application.

Takes 3 coats on the windshield and 1 coat on any other windows. I did the windshield on both and the rear window on the XJ.



One layer on.





Gets a haze to it.





Rear all done.





Front all done.





Couple shots of it all cleaned up outside.







Both of them chilling with the wipers up.

And then this happened. 2 door is going to most likely be sold.

Holy crap, that's like straight from the factory with those test driver miles.
Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Plummer

Gonna be awesome once you get your hands into it
