thanks man. yeah itīs bad to the bone Very nice mountain truck. Next plan is 4,2TDI or 5,9 cummins and 44" or 46" tires

 

the 5.9 cummins will fit?? are you going 12v or 24v? thats a badass motor...

 

Here in Iceland the most cummins convertions in a patrol is 24V But the 12V wil do for me.. A friend og mine is putting cummins 12V in hes patrol. He has the Y60 body like I have.

 

thats cool.... there are quite a few fast ones here...
btw are you taking those pictures today of the channel and radio?
and happy New Year...

 

Oh crap I forgot about that. Iīll run out and take a few pics. Happy new Year every one

 

The radio


And the rust in what ever you guys name it

 

interesting we Do have different radios... and that is the bottom part of the rocker panel... its dark there aleady??

 

Yepp itīs getting dark. But Itīs starting go the other way now during summer time itīs daylight all the 24hours. That really sucks. This is defenetly not the original radio. Because on in the old black XJ I had with the 38īs it had a original radio. So rocker panel it is Both rocker panels are like this And ofcourse a few holes in the floor. But I need to weld new rocker panels very soon because the jeep has to go to the yearly inspection. And Iīll get green label if it doesent pass the inspection. Iīll make new panels at work and weld the in to their place at work

 

Well time for a litle update. Tomorrow a friend is coming over to asist me with making new rocker panels and changing them the next thing is to order the parts I need to fix the leak in the gastank.

 

Well. My limited just got home with brand new rocker panels My boss made new panels for me and a friend of mine helped me to cut out the old rusty ones and weld the new ones in to their place
Here are some pictures


My friend cutting the old one


fitting the new rocker panel.

Me welding


First layer of paint. epoxy to prevent it from rust


And the driver site also with the epoxy paint. And to night I will paint the rocker panels black.

 

looking good so far

 

Thank you The next thing is to fix the rust in the floor.

 

looks good... great work... the Jeep is lucky to have you

 

Thanks Itīs either do it the right way og donīt do it at all. Since the jeep doesenīt have a real frame the rocker panels need to be 100%

 

Time for a litle update. I fixed the front air locker so now it works. But the 24hours Iīve been thinking about buying a 99 grand cherokee with an broken engine and strip my xj to parts and use my engine in the 99 jeep.. But a part of me wants to keep the xj. But there is a lot of rust left to fix on the xj.
