Orvis spoiler arrived yesterday. Going to take it and the 5.9 ZJ hood vents for paint on Thursday.

 

Enjoyed reading all through this thread on your 2dr. Love the color obviously. I'd like to pick up one and pretty much copy the build (tire differences tho) and keep it a DD and the girl and I can go wheeling when she's not in school. I like what you did matching the colored flares and keeping it clean. Very nice.
any plans for lockers?
Here's "ours" right now.

 

Thank you.

No lockers, just a pavement queen.

Parts are dropped at paint and should be in color by the end of the day.





Snagged these from spoilerlights, pretty excited to get this piece installed.

 

Paint is complete.







Pick them up tomorrow.

 

that spoiler is friggin sweet!!

 

Sweet build I'm keeping posted on this one! We have a identical one we're building!

 

I agree going to pick it up tomorrow.

Thanks.

 

Spent some time and got the spoiler installed today.





Taped.


Wired into the factory harness.




Installed. Fitment wasn't the greatest, but got about 80% adhered. Love the look.

 

damn that looks good, i never even knew these even existed!

 

And they no longer exist. I bought one of the last 3.

Well hit a cool milestone in the Jeep. Almost to another oil change. I have put 7500 miles on it since it was delivered Christmas Eve 2015.



Still a young pup.


Gave it a much needed bath and a coat of Optimum Opti-Seal. It looks far better in the pictures than it is, but none the less it cleans up amazing for nearly 20 year old California sun baked paint.







Next thing is getting the hood vents installed. Just another project.

 

SO yesterday was 5.9 ZJ hood vent install day. This was a challenge, a good one but I got through it.

Template made based on pic from USN_BlackWK on JF.





Trimmed and ready.



Measured.





No going back.



Switched to other side.



This little acid rain blemish will be gone.



And then this happened. It was a little windy yesterday and the hood is slick and slid off and hit the concrete. :thumbsdown:





Other side no going back.



And then this happened. Not the best of luck. Will be painting the hood in the future anyhow. I went sanded out and polished and hit is pretty well.



Driver side drip tray trimmed.



Installed.



Made them functional on both sides.





All wrapped up. Don't mind the dents those are coming out soon.

 

Have decided to switch up the look on the XJ so I am listing the tires and wheels for sale.

As far as updates, the current condition looks like this:



I am building this 5.9 ZJ for a local forum member who wanted the 16" Rubicons for it. This is an insanely clean 5.9 with 97k original miles.



Tires are here wheels are at powder, hoping to have them back this week.

 

Well I picked these up today and couldn't be happier. I will be putting them together tomorrow.

 

Oh those look nice!
