I sure hope you didn't paint the tan or green on that mint Country.

XJ does look mint. I like it with the blacked out trim. What kind of paint did you use on it?

You did a good job (at least from what the pictre of the front looks like) but IMO, that green with tan is one of best color combos Jeep ever did on the XJ. I personally wouldn't have changed it but that's me. Got a picture of the side?

I have the same scheme on my xj. I hate that tan. Next spring if nothing else comes up what you did is pretty high on the list.

I like it much better a very nice XJ for sure......I would have to keep it just stock if it were mine if its as clean as it looks inside and out. The black on the front really improve the looks IMHO two thumbs up! What is the overall condition and mileage on it, it is a 4WD isn't it? No matter it is a sweet ride and I love the colors, have you got a build sheet from Jeep on it yet to see all it came with. When I got mine found out several things I didn't know like keyless entry all I got was a single key. Bought a new remote fob & key and programmed had it working fine. Lots of other info also.

Two follow-up questions:

Along the same theme, my 96 Country (with UpCountry package) is blue with the silver gray trim. I was missing passenger side vinyl cladding but found at junkyard. My rear bumper is scratched up and the driver side bumper end is beat up. I can get a replacement bumper end, but would like to know if there is a paint that will match the gray trim.

Also my build sheet indicates keyless entry. Where did you get a fob and where did you get it programmed?
