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.

Did you say somewere you bought a front bumper? was curious what you ended up going with

I primed and painted the bumper today so I will have it with me tomorrow. It's drying out in the back yard right now. If we finish in time we can install it tomorrow also. If we have enough guys we may even be able to have someone work on removing the front bumper while the others are working on the transfer case and rear axle swap. I was going to wait and have a winch plate welded to it before I even put it on the XJ, but I probably won't be able to get a winch for another year and I didn't want it to rust in the basement since it was still in bare metal.

Yeah well thats pretty easy, besides I just did mine not so long ago. maybe I can work on getting the old bumper off for yah. I'd rather be doing something then just hanging out watching. I'll probably be there at about 0930 tomorrow.

Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.
