Okay I am finally at a point where i can relax a lil and save up for the next project.:spin1:

Put the interior back in the front late last night and today.

Back to normal

Prepped the back took a lil more time on it since this will have cargo shifting around on top of it and NO carpet. This is a pic of the first coat.

First Coat

While waiting for the first coat to dry i got bored and ripped off the nasty front bumper

Finished up the 2nd coat and went to eat supper. Came back downstairs and it was already dry i really wanted to put three coats on but was out of lining. I will add some more at a later date right now i want it complete

Rear

The plasti-cote really looks nice. It is walmart brand so we will see how it holds up.

After all was said and done I took the Jeep on its maiden voyage around the block. Got her up to 25 with no problems. I have no tags on it yet so I had to keep in in the neighborhood. I have a lil vibration from either the motor mounts or the tranny mount. It's 87 so i will go ahead and replace them when i get a lil extra cash. That is it for a while thanks for all the comments.

Remarks! Comments! Opinions! Welcome

Looks good man. About damn time. LOL

 

[mcnamaag]

O and hurry up and bring my tools back. I got work to do.

 

[jeep4play2000]

Looks real good, I'd be curious to hear how that Walmart brand liner holds up too...
On a side note, I'll be down in the Radcliff area Memorial Day weekend, I have a lot of family down there in the Louisville, Radcliff area. Maybe I can swing by and see the progress first hand... Won't have my Cherokee with though, we'll be driving our BAD A$$ Dodge Minivan :greensmok

Damn my bumper is a little crooked. Didnt notice till i posted the pics

 

[XJ Stryker]

Well i got the rear bumper off talk about a PIA. Broke 3 of the bolts off in the process. Will extract them later. Been wanting to take a shot at this hitch since i got the truck been putting it off becuase i new this would be one of the more difficult projects. Of course two of the weld nuts broke. And I broke my torques bit on the middle bolt. So i got my angle cutter, dremel chisel and BFH. and went to town took about 3 hours to get them all off. Of course the angle grinder is just too big to fit between the leaf springs and the gas tank. So i had to dremel those big ass 18mm heads off then beat the hell out of it with the chisel and hammer. But it is off... Anyone selling a new hitch lol. Can post of pics but seems people have lost interest in this thread should i kill it. It is not a problem to keep posting my progress.

And cleaned up the R/side nutstrip cause the exhaust hanger uses it so i will have to reinstall two of those retarded 18mm rusted to hell bolts back in to the unibody.
