The clearcoat is just about all peeled off and the paint is getting so thin I'm starting to get some rust spots on the roof and door pillars. It just takes time and money. Do you have a paint booth or are you going to have someone else do the paint? If you have all the stuff, how much do you charge if I helped with all of the sanding and prep work?

That would be great. Let me get this work done this weekend and we'll see when I can do it.

What color would you go with roger? or same? btw really looking forward to learning how to do the SYE and axle swap at the wrenching party. Having a clue about that stuff will come in hand when i do my rig.

I'll stay with the same color with the silver colored two tone that I've started. I've switched out axles and put lockers in axles, but I've never done a SYE either.

This will be my 3rd SYE, but my first in an XJ. The key is a Heavy Duty set of snap ring pliers and a little patience with the PITA snap rings. It was a little intimidating the fisrt time, but not a big deal. With some luck this axle swap will go a little faster then mine. Mine was a lot of custom work that seemed to lead to more custom work. This should be a cut out and bolt in.

Kirk, I'm thinking we can have the axle out and the new one installed in a couple hours as long as the spring eyelet bolts don't give us too much trouble. The new one should just bolt right up into place.
