Imo i think you should do the flares, bottom trim and the rest of your bumper black. Then get clear lenses for your turn signals and side markers. Just my 2 cents lol

Do not paint your silver grille black... sell it to me, I'll buy you a new black one.

Lift looks real good!

I agree, dont paint the grill. Silver grille is hard to find. You could buy the black grille set (Ebay) then just hold on to the silver grille for a rainy day.]

I did a chrome grille on my green XJ. I Love it. Might be cool on yours since its very cleanly done. Nice work dude.

Painted and installed my storage box. Thanks Hammered for a great product. It's nice to have small stuff stored out of the way. Of course I had to add a couple of decals.

Thanks man!! It took me about 6 months with a lot of searching and patience on CL to find this one. It had about 85,000 and it was an old man that had it and kept it maintained.

Thanks guys!! My next plan is to upgrade the stereo system. I know absolutely nothing about radios and speakers so if you have any recommendations feel free to let me know. I'm not looking for anything crazy. All I want is a new head unit and speakers.

Woohoo!!! Super happy day for me. I've had a loud droning sound coming from the front for a while now at around 60mph and it got louder as I increased speed with just a very slight vibe. If you look back I've replaced everything that I can think of that spins to try and find it including having the front driveshaft rebuilt. Well, I took off the newly built front DS and the droning was gone. Had a shop put it on a lift and put it in 4wd and there it was. The front DS is warped so I brought it back to the DS shop and they're going to fix it for free. This is a huge relief because I thought it was going to be the pinion bearings or something in the diff.
