Picked up my first XJ a couple months ago and started work on it right away. Its been slow due to work and school taking up all my time and money but here it is so far: 2000 XJ Sport

How I got it sitting on bald 30s and ugly @$$ rims



Took care of some of the lower rust spots with some sanding and spray on bed liner:





Yay..Rough Country



Got rid of the crap tires/rims with Wrangler MTR 31s on AE rims:


Painted the rims the next day:



Couple smaller mods:

overhead console from a 2000 Classic



Cheap driving lights


Heres to not losing my flashlight again

 

Looking good man! I like the bedlinered rails. I've been contemplating doing that and painting my rims. What paint did you use for your rims?

 

looks good man nice progress, what bed liner did you use and how much did it take?

 

i agree the bedlinered rails looks good. the color scheme you got goin on works well together.

 

Did you remove your tail lights when you bedlined the rear quarters?

 

Thanks guys....still have big plans for the winter

Anyway....its Duplicolor sprat on liner. I used the same stuff on my 99 Blazer with out any problems so I went with it again. I went through a full case, though only because I kept layering it until I was out. So its has a nice thick coat.

As for the wheels I used Rustomium Professional series Metallic Midnight Black.

And no, I did not have to remove the tail lights.

 

Been a while since the last update....added a few more items.

New: Front / rear recovery points, roof rack, Bushwacker flairs, a few new interior panels, and Soft 8's (not pictured)



Ordered: Procomp LCAs, Hi Lift

 

Well, on break from classes so I have been hitting the rust spots. I have a few more to go but got the floors coated. Next up was the rock chips in the hood and all the little rust spots. Also got the vents on.





Next step is to put a decal on either side of the hood. Just deciding what to put there. Here is the leading idea:



Other options are:
Cherokee
Zombie Outbreak Response Vehicle
Expedition XJ
and thats about it so far...lol

any suggestions?

there ya go

 

Shes looking real good And what size lift are you running? It looks like the ride height id want mine at, and how did you get your electronic tempriture/compas hooked up? Sorry for all the questions

 

the temp is read from behind the front rear bumper with a sensor the wire is there from the factory on all xj's you just need the sensor...

 

I was just asking a question. The only reason i ask is because mine was messed up when the dealership fixed my xj the day i got it.
