I wouldn't do door handles though
Good to know you like the rustoleum spray on. I have some to use soon.

It's fine if you be smarter than I was. I only put 2 coats on my rims and then drove it around before the salt was gone.

Somewhere around here these a writeup about cutting your set rails down. I followed that write up and it helped alot, being 6'2.
Thinking of adding a sound bar or throwing my front speakers in the kick panels for those doorless days.

I put mine right where the dome light is. It works great. Sounds good even on those doorless days. It's behind the seats a tad so it doesnt get in the way at all.

How tough would it be to make one out of MDF board? I'm thinking that and some 6x9s for when Father's Day comes around.

i sprayed plastidip on my rims and it looks awesome. if the plastidip ever gets scratched off or anything i just spray another coat on. and when i dont want it on anymore i just tear it off. really easy and it sprays a lot better than paint.

Mine still has an extendable light under the hood. Big spool of wire in a box with a lil light on the end? Mines just not plugged in for some reason
And only has one bolt holding it to the hood
But still! Lol
They came stock I believe.

they might have came stock/option on xj but not all of them my 95 sport doesn't even have a hood light and my 96 classic has a hood light but no troble light . it's better than a flashlight imo, but hey each his own to make it his own..it's the jeep moto..
