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.

There is no statement truer than that. I see we have taught you something.

We can knock it out on Saurday at my place. Around 1300 or so will be best.  They are calling for rain, so I can move the kids toys and put my Jeep in the house garage and we can roll your XJ in the big garage.  I have a 4" grinder  that is small enough to make some good cuts, an air powered cut off wheel, a air powered nibbler, air saw, assorted files, assorted tin snips, and a welder in case we need to tack any seems together. 

If you get a chance stop by Lowes or Home Depot and pick up a couple of 4" cut off discs, not grinding discs.  There about $1- $1.50 each something like that. I think I might have some, but I'm not 100% sure. Also pick up some Rustoleum (Spell???) spray paint to cover the frest cut metal.  Satin Black would probabaly look the best.  If anyone else wants to come out you are more then welcome.  I'm not sure if my skills alone are enough to overcome R.J.'s negative skills ;)

I guess you could say guinea pig, I just dont really have the need to cut mine right now, and figure I might as well watch to see what you guys end up doing

ok the idea is that we cut them up to that fold in the fenders that run down the entire body. but then the question is what do we do with the rear? because if you cut that high in the rear then your taking off like half the door.
