Pete M Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Very nice. :cheers: Just an FYI, primer is not paint. if you want your roof color to last, you'll want to hit it with a paint so that it's sealed against the elements. primer doesn't seal. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions anyone ? I would like to eventually put a nice gloss finish on that when I paint it , but thats a couple of months out . So for now I guess something like a flat or satin finish would be cool . Awesome! I like how the red matches the stripe on the side of the truck... way to coordinate!

DJM/78 Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 i love them late modle decals on the manches Thanks ! I left them on for now , I'm thinking when I paint it I'll just throw the one red stripe down the side . I like to think of the stripes as Nike swooshes and the older stripes Adidas , don't know why I see them that way ... :nuts: Its like the MJ switched sponsors in the 90"s .. :fool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM/78 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 I finished painting my D44 Diff cover last week , got it installed with some cheerleader bolts . Also I've been working on a 96+ XJ console refurbish and install . Before : After: Installed : Got the console finished ! Before : After : The console dried to a satin matte finish and I'll probably throw a coat of clear on for better durability . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM/78 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hello all , its been a wile since I've had time to post anything Manche specific for quite some time . Been working on a couple things but the sun is starting to go down early around here and it was time to work on the 92" . A local guy down here in the Springs made me a front winch bumper and I finally got some beefy rubber to go with my lift . The bumper is a Frank Z custom from NAXJA , built very well and over reinforced . These are some pics of the install ... The bumper looked so good I had to throw on some new rubber ...

Rymanrph Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'm not usually a fan of that type of bumper, but your's looks pretty good. And those tires look huge! 33s or 35s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks , 35"s x12.5 R15 , I wasn't a big fan of the bumper until I saw it on , now I love it . Sure helps the approach angle as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenF350 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Damn, I think I'm in love with this truck. Looks great!! :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM/78 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Damn, I think I'm in love with this truck. Looks great!! :bowdown: Body is no where near as good of shape as yours but thanks . So far I've got to do the over axle track bar mount and long arms , truss or swap the turdy with a 44 . After that everything but the motor and trans , electrical and bodywork will be completely restored . Witch is good because a couple of things REALLY need to be done , all the fun stuff is over , time to get to work . Wiring on the old beast is starting to be a beeaaach , RMS is starting to leave puddles and I desperately need window motor bushings before mother nature starts to crap all over us again .
