Project "Simple XJ"
1996 XJ Country
Picked this up a couple weeks ago from the original owner. Has 200k on it but extremely clean and runs great! Cruise control, AC, pwr locks and pwr widows all still work and best of all ZERO rust on her. Here are a couple of quick pics from when I got it home. http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...V/newjeep2.jpg http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...2V/newjeep.jpg |
Jeep had a cracked grill so I went by a local pick and pull JY and got this for $18 bucks. It was green so I put primer on and then painted it black. I am pleased with the way it came out.

Really feeling the black and red look so I went ahead and pulled all the trim off this weekend and decided to put Herculiner on.

Nice, I think the black grill looks a lot better than the chrome anyway.

Yes I did buy the "kit" but all that consists of is a roller, brush and a pan. It was only $10 bucks so I guess it was worth it. I got all the materials for it at Auto Zone for like $35. Do yourself a favor and make sure you have long sleeves on. I ad rubber gloves but still got some on my arms and it was hard as crap to get it off. |
looks good

You wanna make sure that its not a glossy surface or it will not stick as good. I ended up putting two coats on each side to get good coverage though.
