Dang $100 for both is a pretty sweet deal. As far as I know (from my experience, anyway) the front cover is fairly strong, I don't know how many ruts I've been through with my diffs dragging, but I do know that one big rock or stump will crumple it. Covers are on my to-do-list at some point. I probably would take you up on that panel but I've already put a aluminum rocker switch, holder/thing, into my shift bezel. Not 1/2 bad for quick work. probably could of made it better. Well that sucks, AC comes in real handy when it's in the 90-100+ in June-July.

How much do you want for the alternator? and I might get the covers, but not now, got to get more funds saved up, running really, really low. College dose that. Hopefully I can get some decent money this summer if I can get a job somewhere, that I can also keep during the Fall semester.

 

drove it at 70mph for 2 hours over the weekend... did suprisingly good... no overheating or leaks for once. Oil pressure guage still reads 0 and no odo or speedo... but it did good.

-new diff covers on, still need to do the rear.
-and yet another hatch from pullapart.... i need to stop backing into damn trees, limo tint sucks at night.
-new to me kicer comp 12''

 

Looking good man!

 

i'm really liking the red out tail lights.... i just blacked mine out and i'm not sure i like it on the red jeep. looking great as always!

 

Gears still look good, but I'm surprised yours didn't come with a LSD since it is pretty much a premium model with 3:73s and a tow package... But, the stock Jeep LSD for the Xjs from what I heard aren't that great anyway. Dang, you just replaced the hatch on there... maybe you need to put those LED light in the back until you get the flat ones to put back there... and maybe not limo the hatch window, just like 20% it or so, because it's still dark.

 

haha i know! the blue one was dented and not factory tinted, so glad i got a nicer one anyways. Gotta have my limo! not risking getting a window shattered and subs or yeti stolen.


as for the xj-

few new rock crawling necessities for the ol pos




also, about to pull the trigger on a rustys full engine and tranny skid!

starting to put some money aside to get the back of the jeep looking as good as front. Got a few ideas brewing...
-limo tint rear hatch
-paint hatch black
-jcr rear bumper and factory trailer hitch gone for more clearance

 

Well, you could get a cargo rack like I got and put make a cover to cover the top of the rack and the sides so you can't see anything under it. I've had a rack from Dirtbound Offroad. for about 3 years and the same towel cut to fit the rack and snap into my side panels and I haven't had any problems, even without tint. Plus with subs (like me) I can put extra stuff in the back again without harming the subs.

I probably need to break down and get a hatch too. I hit a tree a long time ago (about a year after I got it) and destroyed the stock painted read bumper and got some hatch damage.... But I just bent it back in place. There is some rust spots where the pint flaked off where I bent it back in place, plus I think there is a slight crease. But I've had it like that for about 3 years and you can't really tell unless you look at the driver side bottom. Plus i'd have to pain it and It's doing me fine.


Nice!! I need a fan shroud too, the bottom of mine is gone. The skip plates will come in handy, I to get me some eventually. Getting a rear bumper is defiantly worth it, especially if you get one with a tire carrier.

 

I feel ya on the limo I got 5% all around and 20% on the front two with a 5% strip on my windshield. I got a JL W6 12 in a ProBox and a 1500w amp can't trust people so I limo'd it out and you can't see anything haha

 

haha hell yeah, cant see in... cant see out. but i love driving in the daytime with it.

and daniel ill send you the link to where i got mine. got it dirt cheap shipped.... 20$ for the grill and shroud to my door overnight.i thought about a cargo shelf for a while, but i like having my cooler in the back and being able to open it without pulling it out.


drove the jeep 2 hours to beech bluff and got my rustys skid!



then on my way home got a call from a stuck 1 ton duramax and a 1500... winch did great!

 

Alright, sounds good. I'll put it in my Jeep to buy list. It's not of utmost importance, I haven't had the bottom of it on my Jeep for about 4 years. Got knocked of when my XJ was stock and I got ran off the road into a ditch... only thing that happened though. But it might also help with the heat soak I get when I go wheeling. Yeah, that's one of the only problems with a rack, but it's either that or I wouldn't be able to carry anything in the back of my Jeep, my sub box takes up the whole back. (2 12" Kicker CRVs)

Also if you haven't been able to find a roller fairlead, I still have that one that's just sitting in the top of my tool box. Been there for about 4-5 years. Still works great. Has some rust spots from where the cable rolled on the rollers, but it's just surface and could be cleaned up. If you want it, I doubt I'd ever use it.

 

my temp went down a good steady 2 degrees with the shroud, worth every penny!! and yes! ill shoot you a text

 

Not much lately, new 12.5" light bar, new windshield and a lil more tint. 15% on the windshield. Broke the bank pretty good! Back to work.

 

Trimmed a Little more off up front and painted hatch. Ac is getting fixed right now finally!! Can't wait to get it back

 

Did ur Jensen radio just slip in or did u have to cut the plastic above it?

 

The flip out? It fit fine. No cutting on any of Them. I've had 5 or so radios in it in the past years.
