taythegibs

dang, you should fix it back to how the department had it and put something like Mayberry Police Department on the side and show it

damn you got lucky the wiring harness wasnt choped my friend used to get the caprices and crownvicks all the time lower them and sell them off but when he would get them they always unhooked the battery and took the 60+wiring harness and choped the whole harness
cool find anyways

My dad is a retired cop so he was trying to get me to keep it black and white lol.

taythegibs

that'd be cool. id love to be able to do something like that. for me it'd be hard to choose between Mayberry Police and Border Patrol (inside joke with some buddies) to put on the side

It would be sweet on the trails black and white, with the light bar reinstalled!

Police XJ

I guess you could say the driverside floor pan was rotted through


The new floor pan in place will be welded tomorrow. This is the last of the body work and then it will be getting painted.

Also just wanna say thanks too Bobby(xjwanted) for sending me perfect condition rear door panels! More to come through out the week. I'll have a PDF file of the original specs for the jeep loaded real soon.

taythegibs

holy cow that floor pan was awful. im glad i live away from most of the rust.

Police XJ

It came from upstate New York where they get snow all the time. Luckily thats the worst of it and now I'm getting it all undercontrol

Floor pan welded.

Looking good ! that was some serious cancer on the floor board or lack there of floor board.Cant wait to see the next step.

Police XJ

Thanks! Next step right now is a tune up and cleaning. All the fluids will be getting changed. I just order a new cap, rotor, wires and plugs. Also I'll be getting an estimate on the paint job. I'm not building this to be a trail ready truck. I want to keep it as a good road vehicle but if I want to go off road it'll do the job.

This looks like a cool build! Where are you located in New Jersey? I may pass by it someday on the road lol

Police XJ

JerseyJeeper
