Took out the center piece off the dash and spray painted it gray.
If it look good with the rest of black interior then I ll be taking few more pieces to paint.
Probably the 4wd cover and the dome light.

The gray turned out better than I thought.

Let me find the link to the ebay listing
I love that purple. Does he happen to sell all the LED's to swap all of the other lights in the center console in the jeep over to it? I was never to keen on doing anything like that but it looks great.

not sure. I just know he sells the cluster leds but I don't know if he offers other interior bulbs.

For all other interior bulbs I used, I bought them from SuperBrightLeds.com

Awesome, thanks man. I'm a sucker for a 5-speed XJ. How are you liking it so far?

Picked up a stock bumper to replace the mangled one still on the jeep.

Decided that I didn't want any plastics on the front, and I didn't like how there's an area still open on the ends.

Cut couple pieces of steel using cardboard as the pattern. Welded them on the bumper and sanded it smooth. I think it look good.

Gave it a coat of dark grey enamel paint. Rattle-can of course.

Rebuilt the sway bar end links and gave it a coat of paint.

Last night I came home to a box... A set of lift coil springs!

I think it's 2.5", at least that's what the PO said. Now time to look for rear shackles.

Great progress so far. I have a set of 1.5-2" Fat bobs shackles and a set of 1" JKS boomerang shackles i'm looking to get rid of if you need them. I'll send you a PM with prices.
