Sweet man you going with that orange?
-
Your CJ is going to look great when you're done. I need to paint my XJ sometime soon. 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.

I have THE snap-ring pliers for that. If anyone needs to borrow em let me know.

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.

You can always just add the winch plate after.

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.
