Joey, do you still have that xj? That looks great, and sounds like it is set very nicely also.

Sadly I sold that one a couple years ago... I still regret selling it.

I am happy to say I just picked up another one! Its a long way from how that one was set up but I'm looking forward to building another XJ.

Did you already get that thing painted? If not, how did you get the pinstripe off?

They are just stickers, I use a heat gun and just peel them off.

I didn't paint it, I clay bar'd it and waxed it!

here's mine

The first XJ I posted looked very similar to this when I bought it, it was behind this guys garage out in a field basically. The front passenger side was smashed and had a couple of flats and the grass was as tall as the bottom of the Jeep. I had to use a tow strap to get it out of its rut that it had made from sitting then pump up the tires before I could get it home.

[bluedragon436]

Yeah that is quite a transformation Joey, to go from the crashed up look to what you've built it into today!!

[oderdene]

here is mine, before - stock with some bullbar etc

It really looks good! I thought no way it was the same paint.

Thanks! It took a couple of days with the clay bar and then waxing it but it paid off.

Thanks it was a fun project!

Funny that's what my before and after fuel gauge looks like when my kids borrow the jeep.
