Re: Rarn's XJ explorer style project

Coincidently the owner local jeep shop (telling the truth) has the rims when I need them. Waiting to pick those up when I have the money.

Atempted round 2 of stenciling. Didn't come out too bad. Still not perfect though. I'm prettty happy and will duplicate this on the other side. Found a brush guard I'm going to mount next week. Built the roof rack myself it seems pretty damn sturdy and I love it. Painting that when I put the guard on.

Re: Rarn's XJ explorer style project

Love the idea about the pics in front of a forest in the rain. I have the perfect spot in mind. If I had the money for the glass roof I would. My friend thinks he can install a sunroof no problem but it might be kind of weird trail riding at night with the roof lights I'm putting on. Any thoughts? S...

Re: Rarn's XJ explorer style project

So the acrylic enamel for the logos didn't like the oil based enamel base. But here it is at it sits. Fixing the logos tomorrow. Not perfect some green over sprayed the red. But I'm happy for my first attempt and love it so far. Still have to do the front hood logo and the numbers too.
