As long as you keep track of what length bolts go where, its easy. Otherwise when you re install the trim to hold it in place you play the fun "find the bolt that fits in this hole" game. Over, and over, and over.

Oh I would be remise to not mention I "wheeled" my XJ today. Took a ride to check out a old route that is now hardly used. Big woop de doos for a mile or so & had to pass bogus no trespass/private property signs (It is a platted pubilc roadway) but found the way just like the map showed. This route is a alternate way for me to get home from work if the other road is blocked.

Then I went for a boat ride.

sorry, did not see you were from florida. anywhere the temperature dips, tape weights suck. plus they are a PITA to get off when people super glue them on. road salt just tears at chrome wheels and the salt corrodes so after awhile, tape weights are nearly impossible to get to stick. just trying to make sure people get the right information.

as for me, its getting a trailer im rebuilding to haul the KM2s to the trail and some other tools and spare axle shafts, driveshafts, etc.

Blew out my rear diff cover seal, destroyed a motor mount, ripped off my antenna, effed up my front left brake assemly, and got mud all up in the engine bay.

In short, I had a lot of fun!

time to fix it though....

bought some stuff for it, IronMan4x4 motor mounts, and some front tow hook brackets and tow hooks, no more not being able to help stuck people (cause I never get stuck, except for that one time...).

Waiting for the stuff to get here so I can put it all on.

I replaced the driver's side headlight. Then it was too dark to do the other side, so that'll be tomorrow's thing.

put some stock skid plates on it and some tow hook brackets but no hooks. I'm thinking of adding D-ring tabs instead.

Junk yard for the fine thread bolts that hold in the grab handles, zip screw the rest.
