It's an excellent combo.

As for your pics, do you use any kind of editing software before uploading?

I use Photoscape, it's free from download.com, (a CNET site, so it's safe) and really helps. Just a suggestion. Really easy to use, lots of options, but really cleans up nice once you learn how it works.

Replaced the cluster and installed the oil pressure sender. The previous owner hacked up the old cluster and installed his own oil pressure gauge with a tube.

Thank you. All I have is my itouch to take pictures with. I have a cheesy little cell phone that does not take pictures but does what I need it to do. Ring. LOL. If I can go into the itouch and adjust anything I am unaware of that but maybe I should check it out. I did use Paint, suggested by somebody on another site, and resize the percentage of a picture to 50%. This seems a little better. I am a little technology challenged but teachable. Thanks for the tip about Photoscape. Go give it a look and see.

Got the main hoop for this second battery box welded up. Now to get it mounted. Can anyone give me some advice for cutting down this pinch seam a little bit. I need to knock down about a 3" to get the battery to sit lower. My idea is to cut some slits in it and hammer it down. This sound like a terrible idea?

I don't see anything wrong with cut and folding that seem.

I topped off the ac system. Was blowing cold but not cold enough. Now it works awesome! Took me longer to find the bottle and gauges then to fill it.

Thanks. Just so you know. Seat are the Camel leather ones out of a '99 Limited XJ. Seat covers are the Coverking Rhinohides. The seat covers were not cheap. But got them at what I believe to be a good price. $320 for front and back. Holiday sale last year with a 20% off promo code on top of that. Mine is an '00 by the way.

Passenger side door check is in. And out with the old crappy aftermarket tinted glass that turned purple and in with the new, to me, factory privacy glass. Passenger side anyway. Was going to sound deaden in there before I put the glass back in. Without the bar on the small window it would have been slightly easier but realized it is a little damp in there so we will see if I can do it later. Would have just left the glass out but we are expecting rain this afternoon/evening. Maybe tomorrow if not today. Now to do the driver's side.

Very nice.
I had to replace my quarter windows every few months living in Denver because of the ridiculous level of car theft/break-ins

I can now swap those windows out in about 5 minutes or less, lol

Thanks. Still have to do those too. Watched the video with the rope trick. What diameter rope should I use when I do them?

Also now the driver's side is in.

Side note: I used to live in Denver. Went to DU.

Picked up an XJ transfer case for my YJ to replace the TJ transfer case that I cracked. I need to swap my SYE over and maybe the input shaft, but it's too hot out. I'm gonna get some groceries and then go see Dunkirk on the IMAX screen instead
