I paid good money last year $7200 in total to have my exhaust routed in a manner that melted and punctured my gas tank , and to get a big burn hole in my floor board and carpet ...sure the shop left the hole without a patch and left the burnt carpet in there , But I somehow feel like I did not get my $7200 worth after seeing your Jeep ...But atleast that shops attention to detail left me with the burn holes in floor board and carpet , because a lesser shop would have probably patched it up and bought a 5 dollar section of carpet from the pick-n-pull and covered up the expensive custom fab job ...lol... And now after Hudfab built my inner/Exo/Bumper he with his lesser knowledge of custom fab work has patched that hole leaving me with not much custom fab to show for my $7200 last year...lol...I'm sorry about your Jeep , But it just reminds me of almost going up into flames last year and the burn damage left to my jeep after spending $7200 at a shop.
If I was building a clean white XJ I would call it project storm trooper! LOL Looks good.

I had an underhood fire coming down wheeler lake once, and was VERY glad I had an extinguisher.
I dropped down one of the obsticles, my batt decided to jump into the hood and started welding its self in place. One of the ground straps from the engine to the hood started to glow red then proceeded to light my engine harness on fire. By the time I had the hood popped and my extinguisher in hand, there was a guy with an Early Bronco opening my hood and spraying with his own extinguisher!!! It took both of our extinguishers to get it put out.
I couldnt thank the guy enough.
I was actually dropping in to give his bronco a jump because it would not start.....And guess what? My xj still jump started his bronco after some re splicing of my harness!(I also tied my batt down!!)
I now know of 3 fires in XJs while driving, just in the fourcorners section! (Crash, Jeremy, and me)
That should be enough to promt us all to carry fire extinguishers!!

Hmm, i guess i should make fixing my battery mounts a priority now, one clamp bolt is stripped and the other is jammed with rust. And i used my extinguisher to put out a fire at a crash i witnessed about a year ago. (Good thing i did, driver was pinned)
