Pulled out the stereo PO installed. Had flip down face with cassette. Must have also cut up the wood grain bezel to install. I installed stereo and bezel from my other 96 XJ.

Everything I did today via my build thread:

Additionally, the horns will actually stick out under the bumper. I don’t want that. So I flipped the horns around behind the bracket on the unibody behind the bumper and re-electrical taped all the wires. This location isn’t visible at all:




Took the bumper guards off to make removing the stock bumper as easy as possible when the new bumper comes. While I had them off, I took advantage of the situation to clean up some of the dirt and clay that accumulated under there. I plan to trim the wheel well shroud a little:

I don't think he was on the ship at the time, I don't wanna ask him just incase he was on the ship.

true, that would be rough either way, whether he was on it or not. i'm sure it'd be an interesting story though (to say the least).
