Well did some work on the new XJ. Took the diamond plate rocker "guards" off to find zero rockers left on both sides. Not surprised. So I guess I'll be ordering up some new stock rockers so I can order up the JCR ultimate rocker sliders. Also added some bedliner to the rear quarters then I'll be throwing on some flat fenders. Also need to do the cut and fold in the rear, passenger side is pretty much gone. Guess that's what you get when you buy a XJ in Illinois, lol.

Thinking about installing the OR-Fab rear bumper on the new XJ later today. I'll just order up another OR-Fab rear bumper once the JeepSpeed is done.

Mopar Happening, who's going? Matt, I know you mentioned trying to get DDO members out there. The car show is on Sunday, July 21st... I was thinking we should get a group together and head out to the Cliffs on Saturday to get them muddy? Thoughts?

Yeah I think we have a decent group from the club going. I was planning on bringing it up at the upcoming meet and greet. Be nice to get some Cherokees in the mix of old school muscle. I mean if the PTCrusier club of Illinois can have 30 deep, why can't Jeeps?

When I was with NIJA, we used to do the old UAW auto show in Belvi-tucky. It was kinda cool, they never knew what classes to stick us in. Eventually they created Jeep classes.
