Thanks Guys, much appreciated! I think I'll post another wheeling video probably wed. or Fri. of this week.

If you bring the camera I'll let you chase me up and down the trails filming, otherwise you'll just have to settle for what you get...

And a Few More: And of course everyone wants to see it wheel so here is a quick clip: https://youtu.be/3WB5y_j2Ed8 And if you havent seen the walkaround yet: https://youtu.be/kxNuJvDeCAs I also have another wheeling clip coming and a few more on the YT channel where I post...

And then FINALLY I was done!!!! And ready to take some photos, I went to Windrock before sunrise and got these:

The little scorpion: But it still wasnt finished yet, I still needed to add a few things before testing it out: And one more show the net weekend: Then to try and figure out how to make the skidplate: I trussed the inside and plated over that so in reality It is a 1" thick skid...

It's first show was really cool in Pigeon Forge: Matching floor mats:) Even had the powertank painted:

Tyler made the shift boots for me with little messages in each one: He also made the armrest: Each sponsor got a place on the quarter panel: It looked real clean before the lights and stuff had to go on.

And then it was sitting on its own: Got the pieces painted up: Dash installed: And then... tada, It was moving, I hadnt seen an empty shop in over a year and a half! From the backside:

I made little edges for the boots to hang onto: Panels got pre-fitted before paint: E-brake turned into a monstrosity: Fuse and relay panel turned out really well: And the paint color turned out much darker than anticipated:

Another picture of how I did the pump... its also held in place with this bracket... seems to be doing very well so far, I'm not sure why this isnt an option for XJ owners. I also bought a newer truck that can actually haul this thing around without issue... well I was wrong about that too...

lets try a photo direct to pirate: So I didnt want to mess with the look by cutting a hole in the hood for the steering, so I went out of the way to drill and tap a new hole and mount the reservoir directly to the pump: Of course you have to have tunes while wheeling! But dont get a flame...

The build is finished, I havent had time for photos but here is the walkaround: https://youtu.be/kxNuJvDeCAs

Time for a lunch break: That cheap sickspeed shifter has been chinafied and I felt like it was going to break any second so I made these up from a transfer case shaft, made a video on it if anyone is interested: The top part pushes down for the auto shifter: Matching T-case shifter...

Made some headway on the dash: And one fender... those panels are harder than they look to make: Pulled the front axle for final welding and paint: Started on the console, made a video of the center part: Made a hole in the firewall for wires and such: I made a box for storage...

Cool, thanks for the info. I actually have a cable shifter but its attached to the stock shifter from underneath... but this gives me the idea that maybe I can just move it up and patch the hole somehow. I'll just have to see if the cable is long enough. That sickspeed adapter is awesome...
