Couple more small things done. I cut out a piece of my scrap diamond plate and powdercoated it black. I prolly should have used bedliner to match the rest but contrast is good.






I removed the rear corner caps. Made some end caps for the bumper but I will be redoing them. Also diamond plated the bottom of the quarters. I will be shipping out the last of my box order's tomorrow so I will be getting back on some stuff on my baby.

Hey, I saw your video on your other thread about the sub and watched the video. I saw the guages, I was wondering where you got them?

I got them from ebay. They used to be a solid sheet like that but only ones I could find now are single gauges but I hear there better. I will find out soon.

I also had the overlay bezel that I done in carbon fiber. Gonna get me another one and powdercoat it one of these days. Too much stuff to do right now.

Here is what it looked like.

Only thing I have done to my XJ lately is put a flowmaster on it. Immediate future plans are as follows


---Build my own Air Intake with some custom powdercoating for the piping.
---784 Injectors.
---Possibly pull the valve cover and powdercoat it.
---Build my own cubby 12" box covered with some red realtree camo and custom powdercoated grill.
---Finish tinting the windows and front strip on the windshield. Might put something across it just don't know what yet.
---Dick Cepek Dc-2 Wheels, Not sure on tires prolly just an all terrain.
---2" lift.
---3.55 diffs so I can ditch my 3.07's which I hate.
---Remove the bumper corners and cutting the front bumper down some. Then make some custom end caps for the ends.
---Thinking about removing the stock flares and doing the cut and fold to the openings. I kinda like the flareless look if the edges are clean.

Pretty basic stuff but it will take it a long way. Now I have must list just gotta find the money

Did I mention that this 2door 5-Speed is loaded? Has OEM keyless entry and power everything. All Black interior. Rare package for the 2-doors as far as I have seen.

I finally made my own intake a couple weeks ago. One of the best ones I have seen.

I had the piping laying around from an Old Integra I had. Cut it how I needed it. Then powdercoated it red to match my XJ. Got it how I wanted it then made me up a support bracket and powdercoated it.

It made a huge difference in performance.

Lifted it, Swapped in 3.55 axles also. 3.07s suck. Also added 16" Rubi wheels. Gotta get some tires now. Cut and folded the fenders. Bedlinered the lips to match the bottom. Love it.

Also finished tinting the windows. It wasn't bad at all. More pics to come.

Now I need a front end alignment. Need to replace the driver side axle joint. Also gotta have my brakes bled, and fix my park brake stuff back. The new diff had the park brake cables cut.

I love this little touch. I powdercoated it Red then done the Biohazard in Black. It's different. Also done the LED light upgrade for the gauges and hvac controls.
