Friday Night after work I built a front diff cover for my dana 30 since I nearly smashed it on the last trip. Saturday I painted it and today after work I installed it. I think I have about 2-3 hours total into it and the metal was scrap 5/16" so it was all FREE! (I like free)

I saw a very similar design somewhere and thought it would be the easiest for me to fab up and as I was piecing it together I started thinking that it resembled a spiderweb so I did a little gab filling with my welds (which I just learned how to do the day before haha) and I left it looking a little rough for that webbish look.

what to you guys think?

Worked more on my rear fenders. Got it all ready to get screwed in. And cut my rear bumper! I like it! And cleaned it and threw some gas in.

That looks cool as hell and way tough. is that just bolted through the cover or welded on?

That's awesome dude... I'd be proud to wheel with that on the front of mine if I built it myself... looks beefy as all get out!

Looks great, is it going to interfere with your steering?

I got the headliner from my wrecked XJ swapped into my non-wrecked XJ. Overhead console as well. Not shown is the overhead speaker box that I pulled down and re-upholstered in black vinyl...wasn't back in the truck at time of pic.

The Dirtbound panel replaces that, but I like your idea. This is theirs in my MJ:

No, under the ashtray, ahead of the trans shifter on the pre '97's there is a little cubby hole thats useless for anything but change.

Filled the washer fluid, finally mounted my cb mic to the Dash and did the half hood lift mod. Half mix feelings on it if I'm gonna keep it, go full hood or lower it a lil.
