Looks like you are seeing light at the end of the tunnel, keep it up Jeff, almost there!

Looking great, way to go at it little by little instead of flying through it and regretting the end results, take your time and it will pay off!

Looking great Ben!

Great story and great mj, congrats and please keep sharing picsc we all love updates!

I always bought the cheap replacement caps and should have bought the volvo cap. When the tank sprung a leak at a seam several years ago I splurged and bought a Mac's, won't ever have to worry about either now. Buck.

Wow Jeff that is a lot of work, I remember you talking about this at the pow wow, didn't realize it had gotten this intense, good luck, looks like you are on the up swing. Buck.

Wow, that is horrible, what could be the purpose of that?

Hi Ben, just read this whole thread, thanks for sharing! Good luck with the shop and looks like that is the perfect vehicle for where you are. Now that it is red again you can rename it reddy, or maybe, Ready, Ready for anything. Buck.

Yes Pete, you are the original owner! Buck

This is something I need to look at, thanks for the diagram! Buck

Hey Rich! I can't believe I missed this build thread, I haven't looked at side project threads in a long time. I just read your whole thread and glad to put the history with seeing it in person! You have a great XJ and thanks for sharing all the info, it will help all of us! I definitely need to look into those headlights. It was great seeing you in person and hope it isn't years until we meet up again, definitely need to do it soon. Hope to meet Trey and your fiancé in person someday soon also! Buck.

I bought my '89 in Dec. of 89, right now 2 months shy of owning it 30 years. Buck.

That looks great! Buck.

Well there are at least 3 of us original owners now, your mj is looking great! I got rid of the hockey stick stripes the first time mine was painted and liked it better without. When I got it painted the 2nd time I didn't even think about the stripes. Keep the pics coming and keep it running! I only drive mine about 1 to 2k a year any more, it earned its retirement. Buck.

Great build and congratulations on mjotm! Buck.

Great to finally put some faces to names and user names. Great weather, great hang. Nice to do a toast in remembrance of Don. Hope to see you guys again, please let me know if you guys swing back through O town. Buck.

Looking forward to it! Buck.

Welcome and good luck with your project! Buck.

Anytime is good for me, I will probably get there by 6, can get there earlier if I need to since I am close, hope I4 cooperates, usually fine on the weekends but with all the construction one little fender bender or broken down vehicle just makes a mess of things. They call it the ultimate I4 project, agree with whoever said it first, the ultimate eye sore project. Buck.

Especially the front bumper, definitely can straighten that out in very little time. Buck.

I agree MJeff, a lot of work went into that, I hope a good vehicle wasn't cut up for any of this mess. Buck.

I definitely am biased in my liking of your color scheme. I did the exact same thing except my truck is grey but same as yours with black lower panels and black topper. Great looking truck! Buck.

Since you said you are mechanically inclined and there is little rust I would say keep it. These trucks in good shape are getting harder and harder to find, I don't think you will regret it. Good luck! Buck.

Awesome work!

Just ordered 2, thanks for sharing the find! Buck.
