What did you do to your XJ today

Did some armor the other day, it’ll all get color matched with linex, a trailer light harness from curt, and some new led bulbs to replace the burned out junk. Next days off I’m putting on hood spacers and a viper coil from k suspension.

That’s a nice XJ! I want to add armor to mine as well, but need to do 2x6 tubing rockers first.

I like the lower portion of the doors painted black like that, I might do something like that...

Thanks man! All the black you see is armor. I’m gonna color match it all except the lower rear. I really really liked the clean look but I had some dents in the lower door that needed covering up so I opted for armor. Shit is pretty heavy too, I can feel the weight of it after install.

2x6 rockers would be sick but that’s a ways out of my wheelhouse.

Slowly bringing my new XJ back to life. Essentially every thing that wears or can wear is toast. Installed new front Bilsteins, one Stinkyfab motor mount (passenger side had to wait), Stinkyfab anti-tierod-roll boots, and new sway bar bushings. Drives 100x better now.

Coming this next week - Distributor (shakes), catalytic converter (po gutted), o2 sensor, leaf bushings (or new leafs), new fluids all around, front brake rebuild (new calipers/pads/rotors. Maybe more.

Goal is to have it solid by the time spring hits and then take it on the Gambler 500.

Also, will trade beer and wrenching time for driveway space to wrench on my rig! Apartment living and Jeeps don't mix well.

Hi and welcome! Was thinking about the gambler 500 too. Willing to share driveway space however my weekends are Sunday through Tuesdays. ....and I'm out in Hillsboro. If it works for you let me know.

Thanks! Hillsboro isn't too far from me so that could work out.


And today Dolores (yeah it got named) got some new shoes. 33x12.5x15 Dick Cepek Trail County EXPs. 45k tread life warranty and a "hybrid" tread design. Got em at 4 wheel parts on a pretty good sale. First set of Dick Cepeks I've ran, and I guess Cooper owns them now so quality should be there. We'll see!

Finished the ZJ brake booster and master swap on my 91 2wd and threw on my old 31's. Still need to fix the rough idle, leaky sunroof and look into why the font driver side is leaking grease - then it should be ready for the gambler 500 this year... If it isn't cancelled.
