Stock speakers were blown so I bought a cheap set of wal mart sony explods. I like the sound bar for when doors are off. I was gonna make kick panel speaker pods but what the point when I am always pulling off my kick panels to unplug wiring.



Lots more to go on this rig as money allows. and right now is a real bad time for money with this damn economy.

 

So I decided to go open cooling and be a mark like everyone else.
THe beginning

then naked

THe finished product....I guess



WHy the hell I kepy a heater control valve... I dunno it was a waste to keep, then the 5 dollar napa overflow bottle has a leak. Hoses were way overpriced and the radiator I put in is plastic where I had a 3 row metal. I couldnt remember how to burp a open system so it took a while to get it not to overheat and it runs the same temperature maybe even hotter. Stupid project and now im sun burnt. I hope this mod benefits me emotionally and physically down the road.

 

You copied me and failed. Way to go.

 

I actually drove it today and had better results than expected... temps are actually down darren so kill yourself. And I relocated the overflow bottle on the drivers side fender and opened up a ton of room by the blower fan.

 

Nice! I wish we had 2-doors here in Aus.

 

Your jeep sucks!!!!!!! I hope you get divorced!!!!!!

 

 

x2 i will be watching this one its looking good

 

well its been a while since I updated.
I just did my heater core and replaced a bunch of stuff. The project was so gay I took no pictures.

I replaced steering with brand new stuff. RE chromoally tie rod
Drives like it is off the showroom floor.


I hate cash for clunkers but I did get some defrost late model mirrors. Still looking for a good header panel and fenders from late model.

I also replaced the vend window which is easier than I expected and should have pics of my tank plumbed in and working next week.

 

What bumper is that i like the winch mounted inside it. The black grille in the chrome frame looks good, mine is all chrome, yours looks more like a '70s muscle car.
The mirrors are out of harmony with the rest of the jeep, a couple of stock chrome mirrors would look better i think.

 

I am doing the late model header panel and fender swap so it should all look better at that point. I like the fact these mirrors can be moved in when needed and have defrost which will be nice when it gets cold. I will splice them into my rear defrost soon.
I have to repaint the thing anyways as I have some rust on the driver side panel that needs work and paint is completely oxizidied and looks like shiz.
Im thinking repainting red but not sure

 

Red is cool, there are not so many red ckees around.

 

You jeep is so @@@@. You just buy everything. why don't you build your junk yourself like a man...... @@@@

 

coming from a stock xj owner

 

i hope that was a joke.
