Is it easy to refinish the visors yourself?

Very easy! All you need to do is pull the old fabric off, cut out the same size as the old one and just push the new fabric into the creases.

Well I've owned my XJ now to the 5 year mark and I couldn't be happier with the way it has treated me over these years. Not too many now a days can say they still drive their first vehicle. Still have many plans for it to come and don't plan on selling anytime soon.

Wll it looks like I'm slowly going flare less. I had the rear passenger flare pop off a little and couldn't smack it back on anymore so I pulled it off. I'll eventually pull all of them off to either put on tj flares or I'll end up making my own tube flares. Still getting some ideas together but at this point they're just that, ideas.

I really want to but I'm not 100% yet. I've been lurking in the recent threads looking at the plans. I really wanna finish up my lift first and a little more undercarriage armor.

So here's my just purchased list of parts.
Rusty's 3* Shims
Rusty's 3.5" AAL to bring my pack back up
Grade 8 U-bolts
Stainless Steel Brake lines
Iron Man 4x4 lower control arms
Rough Country 9000 series Nitro shocks
Rough Country steering stabilizer
Rough Country adjustable track bar

In addition to all those parts to go on I still need to put on my coil spacers and quick discos.

Should be busy the next couple weeks.

Did a little work yesterday before the trip out to Wharton today. Finally finished up my roof rails to mount the rack more solidly.

Got some 1"x1" press in fitting to put in the ends of the tubing.



Then bed lined them and pressed in the ends.



Then just mounted the feet to the tubing and here's what they look like.



I'll get some daytime pictures installed tomorrow after I clean it up from today.

As promised here are some mounted shots of the rack rails.









Also hit up the junk yard this morning and got some goodies.

V8 ZJ sway bar and tie rod and got some tow hooks, Neon injectors and also got some vents off a pontiac that are already black so I'm not sure which ones I will use for my hood vents.

Oh and all of this set me back all of $20!!
