Re: Tom95YJ's Faimly Wheeler Build ...

I did a few things to the Jeep today

I put my Member Decal on it

Received my Spartan Locker and showed my wife how it goes together and works

Sanded an put on the a coats of black paint on The header panel that came in the mail today also

Sanded/ Applied the first coat of paint on the P/S fender that I have been meaning to paint since I bought the XJ in November.

I had also removed the Synthetic rope on my winch so I could run the the rope through the hawse like it should be.

I have a new RE 3.5" lift, I hope to have it installed by the end of May.
I can not stand the blocks I hate blocks with a passion I wish the PO never had installed them !

I did test drive the Jeep I can't tell its there other than some clicking when turning into a parking spot, The XJ is much more friendly compaired to my TJ and YJ .

When you go to the site, search "hoop kit" and it will pop up. I have one on the way for fathers day

This is great. I have had a Rigid winch bumper on the front for 7 years. Recently discovered dirtbound's hoop kit, and it has been ordered. It's nice to see exactly what my bumper will look like with the hoop on it. Can you post a pic once it's mounted, and maybe one from the driver's seat
