Thanks! I've been watching craigslist for some beadlocks. Everyone around here loves the mock-lock look though so I keep seeing fake ones. One of these days!

 

Got it finished enough to drive today! Just got a few things more; alignment, fender trimming, and final buttoning up before we get to wheeling!

 

its looking really good man my next advice would be remove the door trim and paint the rockers black. ditch the bumper end caps off the rear off the red one and put the ones from the black one on it. and of course.. keep looking for more rims.

 

Yeah I'm on the fence about the door trim: I'm not sure if I want to keep em on and paint em or remove em. This is mostly my dad's rig, so its all got to go by him first. He's thinking bushwhacker type flares (400$ are you kidding me?) Aj's rocker guards, and I'm not sure what else in terms of armor. I've got a lot of convincing to do haha

 

 

Got some flares and sliders about to go on! Grabbing some primer today for the sliders. Going to bedline em and hopefully have em on this weekend.

Both are from aj's off-road

 

Dad Got my xrc bumper and winch swapped from my dd to the rig! He also worked on getting a flair on, but the wiper fluid bottle is in the way so well have to deal with that first.

I have also dubbed it Reginald, aka Reggie the Red Rig.

 

Got the front flares on today! Sliders got bolted up, but we pulled em for paint which is happening as I type. We noticed a leaky seal on the rear passenger side of the 44, found some twisted splines... we're getting closer!

 

Primered! Bedlined tomorrow ish?

 

The key to rolling on bedliner: high density rollers. The frilly ones dissolve haha! Well here they are.

Also got the high lift mounted in the back with some neat brackets off of craigslist. Ill grab a pic later. This week I hope to get some cleaning of the interior in as well as getting those rear flares on. On the list after that
Work on the headliner
Find out the cause of the strange motor dying gremlin
Make sure the bumpstops are all good
Keep looking for some wheels

 

looks good man i love red xjs

 

I never really thought they were that great, mostly because they're freaking everywhere! As you can see, its kinda growing on me haha!

 

Yeah i know what you mean lol

 

15x8 d windows 3.75 bs! Set of 4 from 4wheel parts to match the spare we got off craigslist. Now we gotta wrap em and get an alignment.

 

Tires and wheels are good to go!
