Yeah I want to regear, but I am gonna wait until I can regear, lock, and truss my axles all at once. So its gonna be a little while before I can do that

Question about your plasti-dip job. I plan on rhino-lining mine the same way you have yours. How tough is it to get an even line across the doors? I want to make sure I prep it right and don't screw anything up.
One of the sexiest XJ's ive seen on here yet! Can't wait to get my build thread going. Great work man

The key to getting a clean line with plasti dip is you NEED to remove the tape while the plasti dip is still wet. If you wait until it dries to peel it, it will come right up with the tape naturally. Hope that helps.
