Started work on replacing the rusted out drivers' rocker panel.

Today it took me over an hour to fix the speaker wires. Monday I'll do the driver side.

 

It gets easier as you go. Sounds like you've got momentum. Go with it...

I had to just plain remove the infinity tweeters. Now I just dial-back the high end.

 

You know? While de-crud-ifiying today I realized...all four have rusty bottoms bleeding through the oem white paint. I saw a nickel-sized rust-hole in the driver's side floor and one door's got a brown pimple showing through on the outside.

...and my ol' lady (God bless her) wants some attention... G'nite y'all... .. just kidding!

 

Bought new wheel bearings for the front...

 

picked up my AJ Sliders from the US, hope to install tomorrow.
Drove up Mt Baker....no problem for my XJ !!! And there is a ton of snow!
Planning 4.10 gears this week. Still debating to go with just gears or look for a new diff.

 

Took it out for a nice casual cruise down country backroads, it was a beautiful day!

Think I found the birth place of the "hillbilly" farther out you go the crazier things you see!

 

I put gas in it and went wheeling

 

I changed my oil, changed my trans fluid, and changed the fluid in my transfer case.

 

Sprayed it all down including the undercarriage to get all that damn New England salt off from it before it rust

 

I cut off my fenders in the front and back. there was a ton of rust. any ideas how to cover it up? its not a bondo fix. the hole is too big.

 

I'm thinking about doing a door panel mod that will allow access to the speakers in the same fashion as the rear speakers.

 

tinted the windows with that precut stuff off of ebay nice

 

Drove about 300 miles on interstate today...took a whole tank to do it. Reved it up in a parking garage that i barely fit in. Sounded beautiful

 

Got Magnaflow exhaust installed and fixed the tired struts in the lift-gate. No more bumped heads when trying top access the cargo area.
