My 99' XJ Semi-Makeover
OK, so I pulled the fenders cause one came off on the hwy, or so my sons says anyway. The wheels where looking rough, so I sanded and painted with black bedliner. Then this past weekend I decided to do a little body painting. So I sanded the location that the fenders used to be, and painted them with black bedliner as well. I am amazed at the outcome.
I also filled the holes where the hardware was with a bolt and nut combo. wish I could have used larger bolts, but didn't feel like drilling out the holes to accomodate larger bolts.
I'll be putting new tires on this week as well. It is still used 99% on road for now (kids back and forth from school) so I am just going to put BFG Long Trails on it. Been running those on my Tundra and they are excellent.
