Lol yeah I will take some soon once everything I just got and painted is all in. I have been working so much lately it's not even funny but it's better for the jeep but I did start putting some of the trim back on after work before it started getting dark

hey what color did u use for the lightest color? i am gonna remove my bumpers, roofrack, sliders and bushwackers (keeping those black, i repaint them alot!!!) and i already picked up blue, black and dark gray. i will be sanding down the whole jeep, and using the stock silver paint as a base, that way it looks more natural, and i dont have to remove all the trim around the windows. then i will rhino line the roof (sees alot of ****) and the rest will be camo. i just need the light color.

I had three kinds of blue and grey a dark blue a medium blue and light blue which is almost a off white color. If that helps I don't know the actual names of the blues that I used sorry. But anyways I have been working alot so not to much work on the jeep sense Sunday but I did get the new clear lights on today to dark for pics right now I will take pics of them and the whole jeep tomorrow and post them.

I love all the paintwork you've been doing on this man, it looks sweet, but I really think you should paint the front and rear bumpers black, I think it would look better than more camo, the camo on camo looks kind of odd, especially from the front, and it would match your grill in the front.

Lol yeah but it's all powder coated blue so I think I'm going to leave it blue don't want to burn it off again yet I don't think the black would match tho I will think about it. And I will be reupholstering the rear seats and door panels and headliner blue camo soon that will take a bit the I will get new front seats with five point harnesses. That's the plan anyways I really don't like the blue outside and red inside it bugs me lol

Looking good man. I'm thinking about doing a SBC 350 in my 85 xj as well. My 2.8 has a bad rod knock. Are you going to do a hack n tap or AA SYE? My bro has a 231 for sale in minden.
