Billy Bars, ZJ Seats, Billy Brackets, Trimmed Fenders

[IslanderOffRoad]

Got alot of work done on my XJ this weekend.

New seats, from a 96ZJ. Hellbilly04 fabbed me some adapters to mount the ZJ seats to the XJ rails.

Then a set of Billy Bars, and some fender trimming:

The guys who did the work (except the trimming)

When I trimmed the fenders my Jeep decided it does not like Cher. Now it is just an Okee. broke in the same spot on both sides!

yeah, they're incredible. and after seeing them go on i wouldn't buy a bolt-on set. weld-on is the way to go.

I love them. Perhaps my favorite mod on the Jeep now. More comfortable = more of a desire to wheel it!

Am I looking at the tube of the sidebars welding directly into the side of the chassis with no backing plate? eek.

 

[hellbilly04]

I'm looking at this

Where the leg meets the subframe. Is there a backing plate between chassis metal and the leg?

Yes there is....i think you can not see it because of the speay paint.

 

[WheelinJR]

I see. False alarm then.

Looks Good!

My Ass hasn't met a ZJ seat yet. Is it safe to say it's a significant upgrade from the pre 97 XJ seat?
Are you going to Big Bear next week? If so, if ya don't mind I'd like to check them out.

 

[IslanderOffRoad]

Huge upgrade. Night and Day difference.

Unfortunately I wont be at Big Bear.
