Im tyler, just got my first jeep, a red 2001 XJ. Its completely stock except for the new foot boards I just added. Plan on getting more stuff for it. Let me know if your near south central PA, or if you know of any light trails I can test my new jeep out on.

 

welcome lol

 

Thank you, sir! Don't forget, it's also a five speed, two door

 

hi im Dan, im from berlin NJ, 10 mins from the southwest portion of Wharton, just got my first jeep 2001 xj sport 4 door 4.0L automatic. so far ive added 2 kc rally 800 lights that i got cheap, painted my wheels black, removed the ugly faded gray door trim, and working on installing a cb i just got. plans involve a BB lift for clearance and down thw road a 3-4" lift with 31x10.50 BFG AT's.

 

Hey man was it hard to remove your plastic side trim? Mines all faded too and I'm thinking bout takin them off. How'd you do it?

 

the trims held on with 2 strips of a glue one on top and bottom. all i used was one of them spackle spreading tools (just need something flat). just stick it under the bottom side of the trim and either push hard or tap it with a hammer till you get the entire bottom strip dicconnected. now you could either do the same to the top strip or just use a little muscle and yank it off. you then just have to scrape/peel off any of the existing glue. its extremely simple

PS: when removong excess glue, be very careful of your paint job!

 

be careful when you do it, sometimes you run into complications when you do it. if you want a good example look in my pics, you can take off paint if you're not careful

 

wow your trim has WAY more glue holding it on than mine did. must be the old way they put them on. on mine (2001) there were only two 1/2" strips running along the top edge and the bottom edge of the trim. everywhere else underneath is hollow. that looks like it was a b**** to get off!

 

Cool yea I'll have to give it a shot, maybe mine won't be as bad cuz it's also an 01
