Went wheeling with a buddy from work today. I was impressed, once again, with the little XJ. The only things my little Jeep couldn't do on the trail we rode, his YJ with lockers, 4:1 low range, and 35's couldn't do either. Tried a new line over the rock course too, and made it no problem, definitely a tougher route than I normally take.

 

Got some louvers off a 83 Datsun 280zx

 

took all 4 doors off. enjoying the sun, not enjoying the 'somebody stole your doors' comments but i suppose it comes with the territory...

 

Adjusted the tcase shift linkage, still wont push far enough foward to really get into 2wd... Got to keep pushing down till it pops into 2wd. Aggrevated... though I did take quite a few pics.

One of many.

 

Installing the Putco wiring harness



And painted the grill and headlight bezels flat black

 

Hurry up before night time so you can test them out. Same bulbs/housings as before or different?

 

That harness and headlights made an amazing difference

 

I'm not sure I'll get it finished up tonight. Got a date with the lady soon, but we'll see and just using the stock sealed beams for now, until I have some extra cash laying around to upgrade them. Was considering the Rampage housings, but might end up with Autopal. We'll see.

 

I got the rampage h4s and I like them

 

Doesn't look the best, but its functional and free...added a mirror for doorless driving

 

You will be pleased with the harness.

 

installed my spare tire cover

damn I hope I never have to do that again.

 

Really?

 

uh yeah really. it was a giant PITA. plus if I do it again it's bc I had to change a flat

 

Knife it.
