Comparison pic; my wife's 2004 and my 99. Plans for a similar build on hers in the future.

 

Been mobile for a few weeks, and things are coming together nicely. Next projects on the list are frt. bumper and rockers. Here's some poser shots.

 

We should be either at Bundy Hill or Rocks and Valleys soon!!!!

 

nice build

 

Some shots before new bumper install

 

This build may take a turn this winter. Currently looking for a early full width Dana44 from a ford. Picked up a large bearing 9" a couple years ago. Time to use it on something. Thinking those axles stuffed with 4.88s or 4.56s, spool in rear, locked frt, 37s on this lift.

 

Picked for $5. It's the little things,lol. Now just have to wrap hideous plastiwood trim.

 

So a few weeks back my wife's 2004 WJ was totaled. Leaving me with every part I needed for mine. First parts to make it to my chassis are the doors, headlights and grille. ( I just like the look of the 04 grille)
With all the swapped parts I will be spraying it Satin Toupe.

 

The doors are on, newer interior plastic, wiring, Alpine speakers, etc. done.

 

Passenger side got both frt and rear. The drivers rear door off 04 was damaged too badly.

 

Also had a chance to mount my CB from my XJ. Made a tab that shares a radio mount.

 

Pretty simple.

 

Refinished dash trim. Was not a fan of the wood grain. Simple, cheap and kinda redneck......Ducktape!

 

Winch mount and tie in brackets, lazer cut, bent, and tacked together. Now time to tube it.

 

Fit great first time.
