Ha! No jeep is the same due to the things we come up with. :p

Re: Re: What was done to YOUR rig(XJ/MJ) today MECHANICALY???? Appreciate it I thought about it since i can't go back once these are on but i'm on a time crunch already and they've given me such a problem already i just chose not to. I did wonder if they are thick enough to drill and tap the...

Fabbed up a new panel to cover the fuel filler hoses since i had to remove mine because of the cut and fold mod. Also been working on installing a set of tnt frame stiffeners. Much more work than anticipated, three days in and still not on the jeep. Although i had to modify the crossmember...

Went to one in '99 at Y.O. Ranch in Kerrville. Really, its just an expensive offroad event. It is nice to have a group that is guided and they also have time to meet up and some for lunch which is provided. But honestly, i wouldn't do it again. The cost is too much when you cab re-create it for...

Re: Re: 84-96 XJ 50" LED Lightbar Mounting Brackets I would love to be a sponsor just can't sink any more money into this right now. If i start getting ahead surely i want to.

Re: Re: 84-96 XJ 50" LED Lightbar Mounting Brackets Thanks bud. The door clears, just barely but it does. One of the reasons i'm having to change things up for the 97+. I have been able to mount them on an '01 now, although some minor cutting is required to allow the use of the existing...

Thanks man. That's one of the reasons i didn't just buy somebody's when i first made some for mine, didn't care for most of them. Plus they didn't do much for theft prevention.

Starting making these to keep up with the bills. Right now I am only making them for the 84-96 XJ, but am looking into finding a way to make them work on 97-01 models. They are made from 1/8" steel, press broke, and come coated in primer. Each bracket is secured to the backside of the a-pillar...

Re: Re: What was done to YOUR rig(XJ/MJ) today MECHANICALY???? Its not wired yet so i don't have much to go on but i did hook it to a jump pack and its bright enough it overcomes the glare.

Mounted up a 50" led bar last weekend.

Re: Re: Wheel Stud I am actually undertaking the same zj disc swap currently and am putting in 3/8"-16 x 1 1/2" grade 8 bolts. You'll need nuts too. Its the common fix for this mod.

Saturday, i finally finished up the switch panel and installed it.

Carved out the dash panel that the metal panel i made will go onto. Also, cleaned up the metal panel and coated it in primer. Still not sure how to secure the metal panel to the dash panel.

Worked on the switch panel i'm making to go over the fake panel to the right of the cluster. Our step drill bit only goes up to 7/8" and i needed 15/16" holes so i had to get the files out to finish them up. Worked pretty good. Also, i looked into the a-pillar lights not working and pretty...

Re: Re: New Guy...what to look for when buying an XJ? Might as well replace that rear main seal while the pan is off.
