I like this one. I hope it will come in VERY LARGE SIZE. Like 3 XLT "T" for tall. I'm willing to pay $20. a piece for the fat boys size. I'm calling MYSELF fat, so I don't point fingers at anyone.

Let me know when and I'll arrange something. Cool

This diff gaurd, is it standard or does someone sell it? I'm also enjoying this build. Great job. :thumbsup:

:dunno: Good question, I don't know. Ill have to check.

Is $45.00 per jeep wheel to expensive?

Nice, when was the show?

And thank you everyone for your kind words. :thumbsup:

Um, do you have a bench seat? And my seat is all the way back so its a wedge fit so no screws to mount it needed. If you still want the specs, let me know.

That seat will never :smart: go forward and my wife can reach the pedals. :thumbsup:

:agree: Um yea, Carls Jr. Rocks.

Thanks :oops:

I ran my XM antenna wire out through the radio antenna plug hole. First, I found the location that I wanted to mount the XM antenna. I gave it some extra wire so when I wash or wax the MJ, I could remove it off and let it hang onto the glass. Image Not Found Second, I carefully with a screwdriver moved the windshield trim away from the body and slid the wire down into the crack. I continue to do this all the way around on the passenger side of the MJ down to the fender. The fender has a gap where the fender meets the hood. There is a hole in that corner is where I fished the XM antenna wire plug through and down to the radio antenna wire plug. Then I popped out the radio antenna wire out of the firewall and cut the plug with a knife and ran a slit to the middle of the plug to the antenna wire then threaded the wire for the XM into the slit so I wouldn't bend or break the XM wire. Also I thought if it leaked I could use silacone to seal the slit. Then finished by hooking the wire to the radio.

It mounts on top of the radio. The raised portion of the tray is a hook that hooks into a hole inside your dash.

Thanks Pete. I'm proud to represent the Central California Chapter of: Image Not Found :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

I need a place to sit my drink, but I didnt want any plastic, clumbsy cupholder. Also I wanted to make it look like it was supose to be there. So I made one out of plywood and used stainless machine screws and nuts with washers to give it some bling. Image Not Found Image Not Found When it came time to paint it. I went with my armrest from my MJ to homedepot, and Lowes and I couldnt find the color. So I went to Shermain Williams paint center and they matched the color. Image Not Found Image Not Found

I got my drink holder done and it looks like factory. The color is dead on. Image Not Found Also Installed the best restomod yet. Image Not Found You can also see where I installed my xm atenna.

Thanks

When I bought my MJ, my interior lites didnt work. So I fixed them. First remove them and find a clear place to work on them. I did it inside the house where I could sit down and take my time. Image Not Found Second, get a small screw driver and insert it between the lens and the frame. Do this on the end where the plug is. Image Not Found Carefully pry the lens over the edge of the frame and remove the lens. Image Not Found With the lens removed, clean up the brass or copper contacts with a jewelers file (I used) or fine grit sand paper. Don't forget the little wheel on the lens too. And where the bulb sits, now is a good time to replace your bulb. Its a Lil easier since I have big hands. Put it back together and reinstall it into your truck and it should work. Image Not Found

Welcome to the Club. I like your wheels it really changes the look and makes it more modern looking. Keep up the great work. My wife and I will be heading down south to the Anaheim area in January. We might need to set up an informal G2G. (Get 2 gether)

I repainted my Grill to what I think the way it would look stock. Image Not Found Also replaced my stock headlites with these. Image Not Found Man I love craigs list. I found these stock wheels and two good tires with good hub caps for $50.00. I know they are stock steelies but my center caps are broken and the wheels are rusted. Once I get my wheels powder coated, then I will sell the other set. Image Not Found My MJ alarm.

I wanted to replace my stock gauge's from idiot lites to xj gauges that work. Image Not Found So I removed it. Image Not Found And installed this. Notice the new fog light switch and defrost switch to the left of the steering wheel? I am planning installing a lumber rack that will have LED lites so I will use the defrost switch to control them. Image Not Found I also went from a non radio and a non clock set up. Image Not Found To a new set up. Image Not Found With XM radio. Image Not Found I also installed lites under the dash that I removed from a 1990 Cherokee. Image Not Found Image Not Found I didn't have a good place to set my drink, so I made this drink holder. Its being painted now to match the blue interior. Image Not Found Image Not Found Also my Stock interior lites didnt work so I fixed them. Pulled them apart and cleaned them. Image Not Found They work great. Image Not Found

To answer some of your questions, I am planning on getting the interior redone to factory specs. Like reupholster the seat, and fix the sagging head liner which is out now. I want to put in an overhead console from a xj and install a small C.B. radio. So I figure since the head liner is out now is the time to get all of the brackets and wiring set and lined up for the console and install the coax cable for the C.B.. Also I want to repaint the truck, I don't know on what color yet, but maybe the stock silver or a shade different with some blue mixed in since I have blue interior. I have a lumber rack from my old truck that I want to get refitted to the MJ. When I get that done, I would like to install the c.b. antenna on it and also install L.E.D. lites as well for clearance lites.

Chrome is nice but I want to go LED lights instead but not this extreme. http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/t ... _night.jpg
