I love this build thread. Any updates?

Sorry, nothing new to update - just need to get it out on the trails and I hope to do that soon. Just need to be home long enough to switch gears and run a different rig :crazyeyes:

LOL!! It's just been washed and the lighting has a way of fooling the eye. It still could use a new paint job :D

This has to be my favorite non jk build. My dad has an XJ sitting up at his in laws house (step moms parents, step grandparents?) and I would love to get my hands on it.

Nice!! Thing looks well taken care of 

Yeah, it certainly was. One owner and the interior is immaculate. The exterior has a couple small scratches and a tiny bit of rust on the passenger side door but other than that it was very well taken care of.

Eddie, are you running the stock front bumper with the end-caps removed or is that aftermarket? :thinking:

Anything new on the XJ, Eddie??

Unfortunately, no. Had a lot going on the 2nd half of the year and had to put it on the back burner. More than anything, I need to get it out on the trail :crazyeyes:

Just purchased a 2000 XJ today! :yup:

Yup, that's all you're seeing - stock front bumper with the end removed. Not too bad, eh :D

Lol.......... What happen why you sold it, if you don't mind me asking lol

Not at all. I was tired of the slow sled of an engine and it was starting to develop issues that I didn't want to have to pay for. I'll definitely get another in the future, maybe when the new body style comes out in 2017!

I completely understand. I have trouble finding the time for one project at a time, never mind as many as you have.

Thanks!! :)

It really looks great! My plastic ends on the front and back are a bit faded so I may end up doing the same thing. I imagine I'll have to chop some of the inners too. I'm probably also going to remove the plastic side trim eventually. Looks much cleaner.

Thanks bro! This one will be a bit slower than I'd like it to be for financial reasons that I'm sure everyone can relate to!

Eddie,

I was reading through the posts and was looking for what size lift you did, I am having a brain fart or something because I didn't see it. :idontknow: Did you go a 2" lift?
