I took it off along with the side bezels, then sanded a little bit and wiped them off. Then primer, paint and probably 5 or 6 coats of clear! (I like to protect my paint! lol)

Sanded down the driver fender. Primed and painted it OD green. Also did the same to a new grill. No pic of fender painted though.

ZJ Grand Cherokees have wiring quick connects on there doors that is held together with a bolt. They make a great upgrade to add to get the doors on and off easier. And depending on your year of XJ and what year of ZJ you get the connectors from, the wires are nearly all the same colors too.

Got a new alternator to put on! Ground the mount down and Upgrading to a 136a or a 160...not sure which one I got. Does anyone know how I can tell? I got it out of a v8 dodge van that had the raised roof and all of the electric options.

Got one door off.. finally. 2 door doors are heavy as ****.

Also, messed up my fender putting it back on. So I have to take it off and hammer it out. The hinge pins only went in halfway because the graphite sleeve on the bottom folded in... so if you're doing this, I have two recommendations: ditch the graphite sleeves and take the doors off before you cut the hinges. I tried for like 3-4 days to do it with the doors on with only a dremel and it's impossible (at least it was for me). As soon as I took the torx bolts off, I had the hinges cut within 10 minutes. If you're having trouble getting the T40 bit into the door, take a box end wrench and put it around the bottom of the bit.
