no. debadged it tonight, removed the adhesive from the door guard things (which will NOT be going back on).

I'm debating if I'm even going to rebadge this thing.

Are you talking about even the lettering on the header panel? I say at least put that back on. But thats me.

installed a yakima roof rack, built a class 3 hitch, bought a factory swing out, and in a couple weeks I will be replacing all of the springs with some HD ones, adding air shocks, and putting the plow on it.

winter's a-coming!

well, picked up the lund visor, did not look close enough at it...it's for a comanche, not a cherokee.




I'm going to check and see if I can make it work, but there's a bit more gap than I'd like. that said, I may just wait to find one for an xj, and hold on to this one to put it on the 3800 when the time comes. I'll only install it on the xj if the holes will be in the same location when I do eventually find a proper cherokee one...I don't want to drill two sets of holes in the roof on this thing.

pics of the swingout will be up soon. Hopefully Rob (automan) and I can meet up this weekend for my brother, dad, and I to check out his diesel, drop off black interior parts, and snag his plow frame so I can fix it for him and use it as a template to make one for my xj.
