Well took off all the door trim pieces, now just waiting money to rhinoline the rockers and lower halves of the doors

 

Are you looking to get professional bed lining or a diy thing?
Jeep is looking good by the way

 

I'm just going to do it myself, alot cheaper and I enjoy doing all my own work.

 

Yea buddy, I know how to do the herculiner and like to think I am a pro at it now.....you know where I live Al........jeep looks good btw. Bigger tires!!!

 

Cool, I have had a can of bed armor in my jeep for a few months now just no time
x2 on doing the work yourself so much more fulfilling.

 

Kyle I just need your help with those skills when it comes rhinoline time! Got to figure out what I'm going to do about the bashed rockers and drivers door first.

And totally Kuro89 about doing it myself, definitely more awarding. You should bedline yours, where you thinking of doing the whole thing or just the rockers and lower half of the doors like I?

 

I really like how you're taking an older rig and gradually getting her back into condition - these are some of my favorite builds and I'll be definitely keeping an eye on your progress! Nice work!!!

 

Thanks man!! Its been a long 5 years with lots of ups and downs but its all been worth it. I'm never getting rid of this thing! I don't think I'll ever done because there's always room for improvement. More to come soon!

 

I heard that - mine's a 98 that I bought in 2000 and have never looked back. I got her paid off along time ago and have no interest in driving anything else. With that 4.0-based drivetrain, they will just keep running and running. Keep the faith!

 

I'll just be doing what you are planning yourself, just have to remove the molding with the gold stripe, ya limited!

 

Damn! Thats awesome that you got yours almost brand new. They will keep running forever, mines on its second 4.0, when my uncle had it before I he was told the engine was blown and he had it replaced but with the mechanics he had working on it and all stupid mistakes they did that I ended up fixing after I got it from my uncle, I wouldn't be surprised if the original 4.0 was fine and they just didn't know what they were doing. But She has 266000 miles on her and when I got her she had 198000 miles so shes been places haha

Sweet man, can't wait too see it, haha jeep definitely had some interesting molding styles over the years, but definitely got to love that 80s styling!

 

I think I was lucky to find mine back in 2000. There was only 18,000 miles on the odo and now sitting at 105,000+. When I see alot of other posts with XJs that have 200,000+ miles on them (like yours) I figure I still have a ways to go! I finally got around to doing a lift last summer and some other mods and its been alot of fun. My next project is to upgrade the intake to one from a 99+, get the throttle body bored out and upgrade the injectors.

Keep working on your's and I'll stay tuned!

 

Just some new photos

 

dude its wierd cuz on my t-case its cracked in that same spot its a salvage title im thinking of jus replacing the entire outer case and put a truss on it to strengthen it so it wont crack again!

 

Really? Where you just driving down the road or wheeling when it happened? Idk what happened with mine, the only things I could think is A. some how it got engaged into 4 wheel high and the different speeds of the shafts caused destruction or B. The chain was too stretched and weaken the case and caused stress cracks which lead to this haha.

Also we finally got snow today and it was awesome had fun driving home and too work, took every unplowed road I could. This is the only pic I took right when it started.
