Seems like no one is following my build.

Sure has been quiet i guess.


Here's an update!

Still no lift in, but i have my Napier flares, and im in the process of installing them, ran out of patience for tonight, but i plan on going hard and getting them all done tomorrow!

For the first 6 months of having her, i was unemployed, so nothing happened.

Now im an apprentice at my local GM dealership.

Steady income, means steady Jeep updates!

Now, just to get my laptop fixed so im not tied to this desktop.

This is how she was sitting prior to the fender flares being installed.

Just for reference, and im pretty sure all the other pictures have stopped working.

Lift is in! Worn out leafs make for make sag. New leafs on the menu next couple months. I can live with the Cali lean for a while.

Also when I went to Home Depot for some pins for my next project being ghetto quick disconnects I found the identical xj to mine when it was stock. Same everything!

Finally got around to getting my rear flares done, well, not exactly done, ran out of light and heat, up in here in the land of white, it gets cold real fast as soon as the sun goes down.

Cut and folded, turned out much more clean than i expected. Aside from the paint chips. Going to hit it up with some clear coat before i put the flare on.

No turning back


Turned out decent!

Didnt plan to go wheeling this weekend as they called for snow, but buddy was dumb enough to go up the mountain alone, he ended up getting his diff hung up on a rock he thought was a ball of snow.

Not as much snow as he made it sound like, but still enough to get a cool picture.

Been busy. Got my flares all on, got some new lights in a conversation starting location, and got a cb radio for Christmas.

Definitely an interesting place to put those lights. I am guessing you can still open the hood fully? Good lookin' rig. :-)

Yup, hood can still open. With lots of room to spare. Thanks, she's coming along nicely. Slowly, but surely.
