Well I got the cut outs installed the other day and took it out on some mild trails locally. Installation was easy...time consuming tho and my fenders were already trimmed. I wouldve been at it all day had I needed to trim them. But overall I'm very satisfied

Finally, after 3 weeks the MF front bumper came in. Hopefully I can throw it on today so I can wheel this weekend

Nope, warrior products did a shoddy build on their reinforcement brackets for the bumper. So I got it on but it's not usable as a tow point yet. Pics tomorrow

I got into reading your build thread. Looking awesome! Straight up subscribed. Adopting some ideas haha
?? About your injector swap deal, you said it wasn't turning over. Was it because of the new injectors? Howd you get the xJ running again?

Thanks man! Yeah it was the CPS that crapped out on me when I did the injector swap. Not sure how it happened but I had to have the whole timing chain realigned. The injectors weren't the issue they work fine.

Pics as promised. Like I said, it's issuable but I don't wanna risk using it as a tow point just yet until I get new reinforcement brackets. I'm gonna go tackle the cowl snorkel too. Hopefully that won't be too much labor.

Got halfway done with the cowl snorkel today mainly bc I didn't have all my tools and had to improvise some of it. But I still got the intake rerouted to a higher point. Just need to attach the flex hose to the PVC and firewall hole then caulk and go.
