In that first picture showing the driver side floor pan, what happened to the bundle of wires going across, or does yours not have that? I have an '88 and it has a bundle going across the middle of the floor pan which I don't know what to do with when I start bedlining it.

I took that wiring harness and slid it up under the interior trim along the door then ran it behind the brake and gas pedals and zip tied it up out of the way.
Hope that helps.

Just read the whole thread. Your jeep looks so close to mine in color its hillarious, other than mine is flat and you have some clear coat. Im sitting at 3 inches and the 31 km2s like you. I love your roof rack man. I wanna buy a hi lift but my funds are low after the tire purchase. I need to beef up my rack like you did with yours. How do you like that rear bumper? JCR seems affordable and worthy.

Looks amazing. I wish I had the skill to make mine come together that quickly and look so good. Love that rear bumper! You just sold me on getting one.

Been over a year since I have been on here. Between then and now I got out of the Marine Corps and entered real life... Been working my butt off and still healing up from all the surgeries. Not a whole lot of work got done on the XJ till lately. It's still my daily driver with over 200,000 on her now! Did put some fender flares on and just recently tore into her for a ton of maintenance. Will add some pics when I can. Good to be back though.

Ok so to catch up a little on whats been done in the past year. With getting back into civilian life and starting a new job and the move across country I haven't really had the time or the means to do much beside some good much needed maintenance. First I ended up changing the rear axle seals, bearings, and brakes after loosing a seal on a trip up the mountain. Sorry no pictures...
Just recently I tore into the front and and am changing the hub bearing assemblies and axle shaft u-joints. I'm also rigging up some quick discos out of what I have. I am going to build some of my own when the time comes and actually was able to get all the parts from where I work! So anyways in the works is I am giong to a 6" lift running 35" but am collecting parts at the moment. Anywho here are a couple pics of the hub assembly job. Their kind of a pain and am hoping I get the new ones in , in time to get out on the 4th.
