Small update: Had the coolant and heater core flushed, thermostat and oil changed, and rotated the tires. Feels good to have heat, thermostat has been open for a long time. Here's a cool picture that occurred on my way back to school in frozen rain.

Love the jeep. Reminds me of my first one. I had a 89 2 door the same color. Man i miss that thing.

Loving your progress and the classic look your jeep has. Definitely fits the old school ad you posted up.

Thanks, it's a never ending project but it's a fun one for sure. Lots of future plans but keeping it clean is at the top of the list.

OMG wow not a real jeeper! Keeping it "clean" pshhhh. Haha I just joking fellow old school box on wheels driver, build looks good!

Haha clean but functional, don't want my Jeep to become like BleepinJeep's XJ that was turned beauty to crawler. Researching 2x6 rockers now, don't have any rust but for the price and looks I like the idea. So not clean where I won't cut into it but it needs to look good in the end too. Looks & Functionality

^HAHA!!:brows: I'm going for the the garage built semi crawler. It you ain't bumping you ain't wheeling

2x4 will also work, it wont stick out as much. Haha good ole BleepinJeep, wished it was only him on the his YouTube channel cant stand the other guys.

I want it to stick out a little haha. There are only a few that I like to watch. Bleepin, Pabst, Bull****.

X2

Also forgot, Nickintimefilms as well is very detailed and him having an '89 is good for me.

Im considering doing the 2x6 rockers too. I'd be curious see see how you set yours up. My rocker is rusted, so might be cheaper to just go to 2x6's instead of a new rocker.

^ I have a fondness for the older style XJs as well.

I'll post up pictures, I'm committed mentally to doing it now. I've seen a lot of people go 66"s for a full length but I think I'm just going to go 60" and see where that lands me, I do plan on eventually trimming and new flares and don't need a full width slider.

They are the best looking to me.

Just got off the phone with the local scrap company in town. $103 for two 5' sections of 2x6 3/16" and four 5' sections of 1/8" flat stock, very happy with the price.
