You just reminded me. Picked this up at Harbor Freight yesterday. Pretty good deal, especially if you plan on rewiring.

Started on a new front bumper. Not close to finished, still waiting on round tube to get here for the rest, but still cooler than the factory bumper. Paints not gonna stay, just wanted to throw something different on it so it wouldn't rust til I finished it.

Also changed my dash lights out for LEDs. Glad they came in 2 packs because apparently pre-97 uses 6 bulbs. If anyones wondering wedge base 74s. Will post pics when it's dark enough to take some.

Ignore the broken oil gauge and lack of light behind the tach, the LEDs are polarized and it's hard to tell which is in wrong during the day, just need to flip one of the lights around tomorrow. Entire swap took less than 5 min. Pic doesn't really do it justice for how much better it looks.

What Years and trims came with that wood theme dash? I really want to swap that in. But every XJ i can find with it at the junkyard had it torn out and busted in half by some hammer-fisted jackass who couldn't spend 20 seconds to remove it properly.

Well iv got such a bad rear main seal leak that it constantly drips onto he exhaust while driving and smoke pretty bad, so today i bought all the materials to make a sort of shield to stop the oil from hitting the exhaust pipe. Will be doing it and taking some pics when finished.

Pulled up the passenger side front carpet and found water everywhere. So I cut the socking wet carpet out.
Also got my flood lights and spot lights wired up to my new fuse block.
