Thanks, I love my green!
Matching the bright green or itself? I want to paint it before the All Breeds Jeep Show in York, PA. Otherwise it is going to arrive there looking quite silly! I pick up a set of new tires and rims next week. I want to see what colors they will go with the best.

Rear Axle Installed (As of last week.)
Rubicon Express Extended Bump Stops
Spidertrax 5x4.5 to 5x5 Wheel Adapters
Then... THE WHEELS!
I think this seals the deal for wanting to do matte black paint with these wheels.

Installed the drive shaft I bought from Zebvance. I only replaced one bad u-joint. Thanks again for the great deal!
Riddler D44 Differential Cover - No fancy paint, just black.

Unfortunately I injured both my wrists the same weekend of working on removing the bed. I doing better now, but I have made little progress on my Jeep. I installed longer rear bump stops, custom bent new lines for the rear brakes, and installed the speedometer gear.

Undercoated the frame with Duplicolor Undercoating - This frame is insanely clean even on the inside and outside. The seller really was entirely honest when he said this MJ is very solid.
Ran the fuel pump wires using the XJ wiring boot. I drilled a 1 1/8" hole and filed it open to the 1 3/16" size required. I opted to reuse the factory MJ fuel pump wires as extra light and trailer wires to the rear.
Wired straight into the Dakota fuel pump plug that I snagged from the junk yard truck.
Painted the hood striker latches and finalized installing the hood.

Installed rivet nuts to use a newer style hood prop. Odd that the holes were always there!
Yet another brand new wiring harness I made! This time for the rear lights.
Grounded directly to the frame with two 16 gauge wires, one per side, instead of the original one wire for both sides. No voltage drop or dim bulbs.
Taped up in my new favorite electrical tape is a power lead for factory trailer tow. All that is needed to add trailer wiring is a factory XJ tow harness or an aftermarket harness then wiring a power lead from the engine bay to the hidden wire.
The red wire is for the license plate lights. It is loose for now until I know how and where those will be.

I am waiting on the fuel cell to be shipped still and it looks like it may come directly drop shipped from Genright. Mean while I am working on a few other items.
The 1997+ door striker sits much further in that I expected so I had to fill the exposed hole with a washer.
Cleaned up, painted, and installed. I applied black RTV around the striker to keep water out. This is not done from the factory on 1997+ XJs, but their rocker channels have drain holes that I have not found on the MJ.
The door closes nicely and lines up well. I still need to install the thicker 1997+ door seals.
New dark tint on the windows. The over exposed garage door around the vehicle door helps illustrate the effectiveness of the tiny.

Thanks!
This multicolored abomination should be driving around Huntsville soon. I am still waiting on the fuel cell to get shipped from Genright.I actually put the front end on the Jeep. So technically it is legally drivable now. Well, except for the missing bumpers.
