and for the $3 clear front facing turn signals. i took a dremel with a cut off and cut the factory lights as close as i could to the front while still keeping a straight cut. cut the front completely off. wiped out the dust and sanded the inside a bit then wiped with alcohol. took em out in the sun and sprayed with black bbq grill paint(first can of black i saw). took the sheet of lexan i got from lowes for $3 n made a template of the turn signal n marked it out with sharpie. then took the dremel n chopped it out. removed the protective plastic off the lexan after cutting it and hot glued it to the turn signal(used hot glue so i can remove the lexan later on if i want to run drl's in the lenses too). reassemble and enjoy

finished my hood vents and got my temp gauge hooked up again as well as getting a $10 harbor freight ooga horn hooked up for ****s and giggles. i gotta say, i was impressed with how much heat the vents let out. next undertaking will be actually finishing my diamond plate 1/4 panel gaurds

jkw

i guess this means i actually gotta clean out the back of the xj so i can take the interior panels off nn bolt these puppys to the quarter panels

jkw

got the 1/4 panel gaurds and l&l bumper on. just gotta drill some holes for the winch and ill be in business. no pics of the gaurds or bumper, got distracted n went for a little late night wheeling trip in pasco

Winch and bumper is finally on. I don't think I'm going to run bezels I kinda like the way it looks.

got a lil work done on the back too to level it out. no more sway bar and added some of the chevy drop shackles to even things out. rides a lil higher in the rear but it has a smoother ride. gives a nice amount of droop too. and since the back bumpstops were pretty much gone, i snagged a pair of bumpstops off a honda passport in the junkyard. bolt holes line up perfectly. made for a simple remove and replace procedure

XJ BoSS

I think I saw that bumper on cl. I'm moving down for the summer. Maybe we can meet up and wheel once I get another xj.... And lift it....

jkw

ya it was on cl, sold in a couple weeks. if u move down here give me a shout. me n a buddy from usf are pretty much just gonna be building the **** outta my xj while we have the time

jkw

took a few tries to get up the ledge

jkw

i guess trading for this beats parting out the laredo i recently picked up
