ARB Compressor under hood. The extra green and yellow wires are signal hot wires for future light install already wired to switches in cab.

 

Custom XJ Switch Box I Made for ARB Compressor Front and Rear Lockers, Electric Fan Override and lights. I also did the fan override today with the help of a write up from NAXJA http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1025399

 

Installed Rear Hitch for recovery point until I save for Dirtbound rear bumper. I got the hitch off craigslist $15.00 some sand paper and paint.

 

The way it sits as of today. Still on the to do list
1. Install Ruff Stuff frame stiffeners
2. Install JCR stage 3 sliders
3. Drive 1500 miles then check gears and install Ruff Stuff Diff covers. 8.25 and D30

You've been pretty busy. Nice work.

 

Thanks I didn't do it all today just the wiring. I paid a shop to do gears lockers and the pump.

 

Very nice build man ! Im in Los Angeles area also. We have a 4x4 club called Channel Islands 4x4 I think you might like. A bunch of really cool jeepers who enjoy helping each other out . We also plan really amazing wheeling trips. check it out here :: http://ci4wd.webs.com/

I have a XJ build a lot like yours. and admire the style . I also race on a Jeepspeed team which is a lot of fun and I am constantly surrounded by JEEP/XJ people and knowledge . If you ever need any help here locally maybe we can help out .

Also I know a guy in Utah that specializes in custom XJ bumper [Rigidco] and he has a new rear bumper design that would look great on your jeep and requires the rear to be cut and folded like yours. His website is out of date so if your interested let me know and I will send you pics of the bumper and give you contact info etc .

Keep up the good work!

 

Got one side of my JCR Stage 3 Rock Sliders installed today.

 

Thanks yeah I look at their site before I wanted to do the jeep show in wrightwood. wasn't ready next time. looks like the site is down though i can't log in.

 

Yup, I believe they had some tech difficulties they are working out on the site . I would check back, im sure they will get it resolved soon.

I was just looking back through your build.... and I must say your fenders are one of the cleanest cut and fold jobs I have seen. good job with that. I have been reserved in doing mine . . on the fact it may come out all jank. haha .

 

Yeah I looked over and over different write ups on it I did make one or two cuts too far the black moulding covers it. I also used seam sealer on the inside then sprayed undercoating. All that cutting on the new to me jeep, I keep thinking what the heck did I get myself into. haha, Tons of money and I can't quit. I still need rear bumper, headliner, kenwood, stereo speakers, winch. and some Rigid led lights. Don't tell my wife how much I have spent probably could have got a fairly new JK if I wanted LOL but probably wouldn't have fit in my toy hauler.

 

beautiful rig man!

 

Thanks working on a small fortune in it.

 

Installed Hesco hi flow thermostat housing and Robert Shaw thermostat.
