Ahhhhh! Where is page 2 through 27? Stop turning your front yard into a Jeep parts store and update this kick butt project. CherokeeForum demands more!

Engine parts are ordered so time to kill. I figured I do something with the red MJ.

Not bad for a weekend. Still in mock up, need the XJ back to finalize the height.

What are you using for the axle setup? Is it just a dead axle from a 2wd or custom?

Weathers turning nicer, and all the parts for the engine have been assembled. So build will resume shortly. In the meantime, frames done and the underside of the bed is coated.

On the frame, I used Eastwood's self-etching primer, but followed that up with Rustoleum's hammered silver so touch ups would be easy and cheap. The underside of the bed I used Eastwood's 2k epoxy primer and Rustoleum's Bedliner. The bed will be combo of the 2k epoxy and the HotRod satin black to match the XJ.

Nice. I used the Hammered on my front bumper and plan to use it on my rear also when it arrives.
