XXL-XJ is closer to being back...
After the flop over, I have made a lot of changes to the XJ. I went waggy 44 front, locked AMC FW 20 rear, 1/4 angle sub frame, custom long arm, 1 ton steering, tube crossmembers, 4.88 gears, warn locking hubs, and a whole lot more little stuff...
Now it has been time for the body work stuff. I went new doors, new fenders, custom diamond plate quarters, blacking out all the chrome and going with a flat army green paint. Here is how it looks so far:    Yes, I know I have to cut out the gas door and yes, I am going back with the LED taillights.

I think it looks killer. Only thing I would've tried was to get black diamond plate.

Thanks!
Here are some pics of the subframe, new seats, and the test run after we got the suspension buckled up.

Ok, I got the hint! I grabbed the self-etching primer and got rid of the bright alum diamond plate and painted it black... I was going to do it anyhow but I was going to wait until I cut the gas door in. Oh well I have more paint, I can redo it later!

I think it gives it more of a business look. Bling is for mall crawlers. Looks awesome!

Looks good....Make sure you post some pics once it is fully painted up and everything. My jeep wants to look like that when it grows up.... Oh and why a amc 20 rear axle? Just wondering....Oh and do you have some pics of the waggy front or maybe a nice writeup or something lol |
