That is one hell of a nice build! Hopefully I will get the chance to do some to my own one day.

How did you reinforce the frame on the four door. If/when possible, post pics, if you don't mind.

For the 4 door. All we did was but some flat bar on the roof line and then built sides that go down from the roof to the bed rails. Ill grab some pics of it next time over at his place when its light out.

I got the sides done today, now I just can't decide should I continue the mouth on the front bumper?

I'll have pictures up soon..

Matt

I also painted my spare valve cover today. The first coat was black and then I sprayed a candy red over top. Makes it look like a very dark looks pretty good in person in the lights.

Haha, Thats Classic! You should put some little stamps on the side of Toyota and Honda symbles or something; like the old fighter planes with the number of Jap planes they shot down on the side.

Well I put a day permit on the Jeep Yesterday and had a buddy of mine who is a photographer take some pics for me. Played in the mud a little bit and had some fun. Found out that the front done NOT flex at all so time to change those coils I guess. Once he sends me the pics I'll post em up. Other then that I trimmed the fenders front and rear today and put the stereo in. This build is going to start to slow down tell I can save up some money....

Anyway I took a few pics of the truck today so here they are.

Haha, your XJ looks awesome, man. Great job with the paint. You must get a lot of looks when you drive that around.

Well haven't done much to "The Shark" lately I decided to pull up the aluminum street signs that I was using for floors and weld in some sheet metal. Just need to seam seal it and bed line it and then floors will be done. I also decided the other day that "The Shark" is going to get a back window. I don't like mud hitting me in the back of my head, that and the cops will hassle me less if I have a rear window. So construction of that will start this weekend I think.

Buddy of mine who took the photos dropped them off tonight so as promised here they are.

Awesome pictures, man. Your Jeep looks like a beast in that first picture of you roasting the tires. Can't wait to see your rust repair. I was supposed to fix my mess this week, but the rain caused some problem. I can see through parts of my floor, so I gotta get it done soon. How do you plan on closing off the back of your XJ?
