Still waiting to file the claim for the new camera, but I figured I would update my plans cause Im bored and waiting for my card game to start.
Ive got an 8.8 sitting in the garage. Im gonna swap that one in for my terdy5 when I get the money for new gears. After that Im gonna talk to some of the local metal workers about some tube fender flares and a buddy here about talking off those plastic bumper endcaps and creating some TJ bumper looking endcaps. I got a new rear bumper in the garage too that Im gonna get on there when I figure out the flares and armor for the back. By the time all that is done these 31's will probably be bald and I will make the jump up to 33's.
THe 8.8 has that limited slip (or posi trac) im not sure what the proper terms are, so I will leave that in there at first and get a locker for the 30. Beef that one up somehow.
Whenever it is need a rebuild on the engine. Im sure that when that comes it will push everything back, but as of now the pecking order is as above.

Recently found a bumper on CL as soon as I meet with the guy next week and sand and repaint Ill borrow a camera. Its a smittybuilt tube and I love the way they look on cherokees
Bought a half gallon of bedliner off my buddy today. Gonna sand down that bumper and the flares next weekend and add the bedliner. Then Im thinking about going sand colored on all the balck (including weather stripping) any thoughts?

sounds like a plan, but in the meantime, if you want your flares and caps jet black again go get some mothers back to black from autozone. works absolute wonders man, you wouldnt believe the difference, its like night and day and stays that way for a good whileOriginally Posted by cob24

I got 3/4 a can for less than half the cost so Im gonna roll that stuff on there as soon as possible. Then a week later Im gonna pick up some primer and sand/tan paint (to match the interior) I think its gonna look great...at least in my head it doesOriginally Posted by xj_maniac_newb

The flares... I used to want to bedline the whole thing, but I have grown to love my maroon. I only see the red red versions around here none of the maroon. So bedline then prime then on the flares and bumpers and everything black except the grill. Im hoping it looks good, Ive never seen it on the new body onesOriginally Posted by xj_maniac_newb
