Thanks

Just wanted to say it was great being MJOTM !!

That is the first I've noticed an additional amber reflector on the the front fender. First XJ/MJ power antenna I have seen. I would like to restore/rebuild an XJ next, adding one of those is on the list. I'll keep my eyes open for a NOS Mopar unit.

I use a universal hidden antenna which is in the cab. That would have been cool. My donor xj didn't have a power antenna. Good idea for the next one.

That is 2 of the 3. Here is a hint for the third. Image Not Found

Nice. Both look good !!

As was stated originally. Some missed that. It looks great on your MJ with the black highlights. :cheers: Thanks ! Anybody notice the subtle body modifications done prior to the new paint job?

Sweet. Thanks.

kinda looks like one of the rarer XJ colors: kinda looks like one of the rarer XJ colors: That's rescue green too. That color was first available on the JK in 07. Looking up "rescue green" it is close, but definitely a JK era originated color. But I too thought of the citron pearl first. https://www.google.com/search?q=rescue+green+jeep&client=ms-android-att-us&source=android-browser&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAmoVChMIlNjdubTzyAIVCz0-Ch0_EAIw#imgrc=mG-LKtdHConPiM%3A Wow. I've never seen a Citron Pearl XJ. I like it !! If you guys ever come across a citron pearl xj (with a manual transmission) for sale send me a link. I would love to pic one of those up or maybe that amber fire pearl color. My MJ is rescue green. Glad to know it was first used on a JK in 07'

Thanks

Nice door panels. What did you swap them from?

Its a polarizing color. Its grown to be one of my favorites also. Thanks The tin worm chases us all in the snow/salt belt. Your truck and doors look good. When I purchsed the truck the original engine had poor compression, grinding peugeot ba-10/5 and hacked-up wiring. I'm happy its now driveable and on the road. Thank you sir !! I enjoyed building it. Very happy with the results and love driving it. The information from your build thread and a few others was very helpful. Thanks again.

Looks awesome! Great Job. Really like the paint job and bumpers.

Thanks! Thanks! I've waffled on the J E E P rear tailgate decals. At times I want to instal them but also enjoy the clean look without them. One day I might install them. Thanks

Its great being MJ of the month!! Thanks. Found a place that will rebuild the 99 XJ radio and add a very subtle aux port. Hope to have it done and swap it in over the winter. That is a great idea regarding the inner door handle plates and the arm rests. I'm going to try and track down those parts and give it a go. Thanks.

Tail lights look good. Need to do this on mine.

Honestly, that price to paint is about right.In my area a mid-high grade quality full repaint with minimal body prep will cost you 4-5k. Concours quality paint job is 7-10k. Maaco quality job 300-700$. Black looks great on MJ. Check out knever3 thread for a great example: http://comancheclub.com/topic/43859-fun-with-the-camera/?do=findComment&comment=446027 I vote for VW R32 Deep Blue Pearl or Honda Desert Sage Green.

Congrats on getting it back on the road!!
