TTT Looking to paint my truck when spring break rolls around, looking for more color ideas, I like the Rustoleum Metallic Racing Green, but I can't find it on their site.

So plans as of now: -Get truck up and running, swap everything from donor. -Weld new perches on donor d44 (sua) and get new 4.5" leaf packs -LEDs in dash -New tires, BFG ATs if I can only fit a 32, or Goodyear Duratracs if I can fit 33s on a 4.5 lift -Rustoleum roll on paintjob, can't decide on a color!

Been watching ebay, but $135 is a little steep because I am cutting out 75% of the headliner for my sunroof.

Chrome won't get you home! :D

Got a lot of work done, but only one pic to prove it lol, I was too busy wrenchin' to get my phone all dirty to take pics :wrench: So this is your pic for today, donor XJ on the left, Eliminator on the right, got the engine/tranny outta donor and swapping front ends/ wiring harnesses / etc. before we drop the donor engine and tranny into Eliminator. Let me know what ya think! Jeep on!!!

Love the sub box, I am going to be doing something very similar.

Actually, don't worry about that headliner, it is way too fragile to ship anyhow, and I think I am going to order an SMS headliner.. What's so cool about a factory receiver hitch? I've got a receiver hitch on mine I'm pretty sure is factory..

Heya Ben, was wondering where you got the Eliminator decal set?? I just want the "ELIMINATOR" that goes on the bedside

Any update? Did ya pull that headliner? I'm currently looking for one, and a latch for the rear slider window,

Looking to buy these things, either local (WA) or I will pay for shipping. First off I'd like to buy a headliner.. It can have rips/stains as long as they are in the center because I have a sunroof, and will cut out the center. Last, for now, I am looking for a latch for the rear sliding window. Please contact me by PM or posting here if you've got something, and we can figure something out. Thanks!

:fs1: :headpop: :hateputers: :mad: :thwak: I can not describe my frustration right now.

Thanks for the comments! I've hunted deer in Capitol Forest, but its way too crowded, now I enjoy eastern WA :) We have less rain, and 4 seasons here!

Hey guys, just a small update today.. We laid down some Rustoleum "Rust Reformer" on the floorboards to give it a nice, paintable coating, and to maybe get rid of some of the left over rust, we are laying down some Rustoleum undercoating on top of this, and then the carpet. Started wire-wheeling the engine bay today, to get it ready for new paint, and got about half of it done (the days just keep getting shorter), dunno what paint we will lay down in there quite yet. Anyways, thanks for checkin it out, in the next few weeks, I should have some pictures of swapping everything over from the XJ! Stay posted!

Thanks for the comments guys!

Sounds cool! What are your plans? Nice to see a fellow Washingtonian :)

Haven't updated this for about a month, been busy with school so we haven't done much, but I do have some updates to share! Here we cut the hole for the sunroof, as you can see we have some rust holes to patch up as well. Dad welding on some sheet metal to cover those rust holes, we later covered with primer, and paint. Got the sunroof installed! So we then started taking the engine apart piece by piece. So far I am having fun with this project, next we will probably tidy up the engine bay, and then working on swapping the interior/front end over from the donor before we drop the new engine/tranny/tcase (with sye) in. Thanks for reading! :wrench:

Love it! Congrats :cheers:

Maybe you can herculine the floorboards? I haven't done it because I imagine it would be loud/hot.. but I imagine it's easy to spray off.

I may be interested in the black interior, if you wanna box it up and ship it :P

Left it at home while I wheeled the $#!& out of my dad's Xj :P

So I'm in the market for a new rear bumper with d-ring mounts, and a built in reciever hitch, basically like Hansen Offroad's rear bumper, but cheaper. Would I be able to adapt an xj bumper like JCR's stage 2 just by buying/making mounts? Or who else makes a nice Comanche rear bumper?

Lmao, that's great :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

Yup.. thanks for the heads up, already planning on keeping the sua, welding new perches on the 44, and getting new leaves, was thinking Rusty's but idk yet. :wrench:

Thanks for the comment guys, appreciate it. :cheers: Looks like I may have found a donor xj.. 4 door, clean interior, 4.5" lift, rhino lined winch bumper w/ smittybilt xrc8, d44 rear, d30 front, both locked with chromoly shafts and 4.88 gearing, I can't wait to start swapping, will be taking lots of pics. With school starting may take me a bit but I will be happy with the end result :D

Stay safe brothers.
