Htchevyii Posted April 21, 2024 Posted April 21, 2024 Some of you may be familiar with our '89 XJ. It is the Jeep that our friends gave us when they were moving out of state. It hadn't ran in 10 years and we did a bunch of work and showed up at their house in it, several hundred miles from home. We chronicled our adventures on NV HWY 50 and the Extraterrestrial HWY on our YouTube channel. Well, the Jeep was just too ugly. Over the last few months, it got stripped apart, body and paint were redone, all weatherstripping replaced, the headliner was recovered and som 80's inspired graphics were installed. I sprayed the new replacement flares and rockers with thinned Raptor Liner sprayed through a HVLP gun. I'm pretty happy with the finish, it just looks like matte black, but is much more durable.
89 MJ Posted April 21, 2024 Posted April 21, 2024 Looks great! It gives me similar vibes to the 4x4 86 only stripes on the Comanches.
Salvagedcircuit Posted April 21, 2024 Posted April 21, 2024 I can feel the arm cramps just looking at that much prep work. Nice job!
Htchevyii Posted April 21, 2024 Author Posted April 21, 2024 The old peeling paint and the full color change made for lots of extra work! @89 MJthe graphics were definitely inspired by the Comanche X.
89 MJ Posted April 21, 2024 Posted April 21, 2024 I figured they might’ve been. They fit the XJ well.
