Well now I'm going to also have to redo my headliner since its sagging. Also trying to figure out a design to cut out of a 1 foot by 2 foot sheet of 22g steel to mount a pair of driving/fog lights since I don't want to drill into my front bumper but that's where I mounted them on my old truck and I liked them there

Well since I had the time and storage shelves I decided to reorganize my tools and gear in my shop.

Also does anyone know why this was connected to the relay for the electric fan?

That's aftermarket.... so no one will know what it went to besides the guy who installed it.

Well I decided while I was in the area to stop at the salvage yard. Pulled a fuse box out of a 96- XJ and a overhead console out of a ZJ. got it mounted up now I'm just working ob the wiring to get the map and dome lights working.

Well I went out to Tampa today and decided to stop at a local salvage yard on the way back. Grabbed a few dash air vents for above the radio since I managed to brake mine. Also was about to grab a grille and headlight bezel from a pre 96 XJ to swap out with mine since I like the look of the older XJ grills. Decided not to grab either of the grills I found since both were cracked or just broken right off the vehicle for the radiator.

Also following the video on Youtube from Bleepin Jeep I made a auxiliary fuse and rely box from a pre 96 XJ fuse box. Get it wired up and plugged in my off road driving lights. Here are some pixs of the lights and I post some pixs of the fuse box tomorrow during my lunch break.

I run brown dog rubber mounts. However I don't feel the mounts on the block are necessary or worth it. I have nothing but good to say about my mounts, very good quality!

Well it's time to show what I've been up to.
Since my last post I have quit my job as a dishwasher to take on my job as a handyman full time so my XJ is now a work rig.

Started with this...

So I made this...

Also since for work I work around an area of 7 counties I had to get my CB working again.... I bought a new 4 foot tuneable Firestik antenna with the heavy duty spring.... but I forgot to get the antenna to cable adapter. Does anyone know where I can get one fast? my local radioshack is out of stock and the closest CB shop is permanently closed and the other is a custom shop that is only open by appointment
