Not sure. I think after the mesh it's $450 for the 2 front doors. It's a little steep but they were a birthday gift. If it were me buying them I would probably make my own. I'm glad I got these because it will save me the headache of making them and these actually have legit latches. I would have put gate latches on if I had made some

Replaced the passenger side wheel bearing and ball joints. Broke my BFH and bent my ball joint tool doing so.

So apparently she's been sick for at least one month. She finally let me know what was up this weekend! Either blew a head gasket or cracked the head. Not sure which. She blows liquid coolant out between the exhaust header and the head when the engine is cold. Once she's running and warm she don't leak but don't shut her off either!

Did the driver side tire stuff pretty well in the fender or did it not even get into the fender?

It took me forever to find one.. every xj in the junk yards around here already have them home.. only took about 10 minutes install time. I also messed with it just a bit so that I could keep the overhead light with the map lights built in too

Well last night as soon as we got home my wifes ignition cylinder locked up and would not shut the jeep or power off. Had to pull the Coil wire and the battery, go to autozone and rent all the pullers and the new cylinder. Never did one before, Took a total of about 45 min. Was interesting seeing how it all works behind the wheel. By the way this is her (pink) xj dash. My xj dash is red lol.
