Separated the backing from the XJ carpet, pressure washed it and it came out fine. Its molded in all the right spots.

Well I haven't updated in awhile guess iv just been to busy trying to get it done, I finally got the jeep paint after giving up and had the dealer I work at, body shop paint it. Everything went together fairly easily ended up using the entire wiring harness not a bit of manche wiring left.

 

I will eventually get pictures of it but for the lights I used the XJ lights and used a dremel to open up the slot on the MJ tail light housing to fit the light sockets. Being that the original XJ lights were tail/brake top light and the middle was a just turning signal light I cut a tail/stop top socket out of an XJ in the junk yard and wired it to where both top and middle red panels on the MJ tail lights would function as tail lights. Now the top panel or socket is brake and the middle is turn signal but both top and middle illuminate as tail.

 

I wish I had more tech but I suck at remembering and taking pictures but here's a teaser shot before I finish the rear bumper and get the front trim on this Christmas then I will post the real pictures.

Who built your rear bumper......I like that a lot!

[earl*t]

Superb job!  :thumbsup: The bumper mods, front and rear, are super clean. It's amazing how dramatically the small details impact the over all appearance. Were you able to mount a winch? 

[ComancheKid45]

Awesome! I like those A Pillar lights/mounts alot!

The rear bumper is mine each piece was cut, welded and grinded took forever but well worth it. It by far is one of the best pieces of the truck. Ever since I built the fairlead in to my buggies bumper it has become my favorite look, I am still working on the winch which I got for free it was in rough shape to I took it apart and am slowly greasing painting and putting back together. Got a Viking winch rope that I have to send out to get repaired and am going to have them put a safety thimble on it so it sits flush on the fairlead.

 

I am having an issue with it running rough occasionally but cleaning the IAC motor and the throttle body and hoping that will help.
