Speaking of, I saw a CLEAN Comanche yesterday. White, billet grille, small lift.

Wasn't able to get a pic as i was getting on the hwy and he was on the access rd. But it was cool seeing it, not too many running around here.

Nice. Did you install em, or just take a pic of em? Lol jk. Thats such a fun job...


I did a couple things.

Tinted the glass on the new-to-me door, and put the molding on. Other than being clean and missing the pinstripes, lol, not a bad match.


Then darkened the hatch and front door glass. Because Texas.


It had to be done.


This... Im not sure if im really tickled about this. Better than sitting on the dash, but now my license plate is a battering ram. I dunno, i may do something different with that.

My first XJ was a '96. Have a soft spot for the old body style. If I knew how to weld I would have saved her. Structurally she was a disaster. Mechanically she was unstoppable. Door matches nicely. What is that switch on your console?

That switch is for the power mirrors.

Driving an '00 now. Power mirrors. I should have been able to figure that out. My '96 was as pretty basic. Another reason I liked it. Auto, tilt wheel, crank windows, full gauges, rear defogger. IMO what was necessary. I also miss the real tilt wheel that those had. Not that stupid move it about 2" that the '97 and up have. Like an old school GM tilt wheel where you could rock the steering wheel between your legs with the 6 way power seats that those things use to have. LOL.

Looks good, man! I love new tint.... my neighbor owns a tint place and I keep trying to get him to give me a price on tinting my vehicles and he keeps answering with "just bring 'em in".... but he's in his 50s and works his *** off. I just feel bad about piling more work on him when he's already sweating his *** off with work piled up behind him in the middle of the summer.

You have an in so can probably get a real good price but in my '00 the aftermarket tints turned purple. Annoyed me. I went to the go to place in my area and was quoted either $200 or $250 to remove and replace them. This is not doing the front door windows. Which I did not want done. Anyway, it was low on the list and then I came across an XJ with the privacy glass in the boneyard. $200 for the glass, with the rear window having a working defogger, with me removing it. I did the rear doors and cargo bay glass. Had my glass guy remove the boneyard rear glass, mine, and install the boneyard one for $100. Then $30 for the rear window molding from the dealership. So glad I spent the extra money. See the rear door is done but not the cargo bay, turned purple, one.

I stood in the garage after a looong day at work and stared at the engine bay.. I thought about all the things I desperately needed to do. Then I stumbled into the living room. Opened a bottle of ice cold cherry coke, and fell asleep on the living room couch watching an episode of Futurama.

Sounds like a typical day for me. I need to finish my engine rebuild, order a couple more parts and finish up the transmission
