My winter project.. (not diesel)

Hey guys,

Well it is to cold outside to finish the paint on my 1st Gen CTD.. so I figured why not work on another project

I figured some of you guys would like to see it even though it is not diesel related.

this is my '98 XJ that I off road in.. (IE: I drive it over the biggest rocks I can find)

Here are the pics of the first day of work..

we wrapped the jeep in plastic and then painted it.. I still need to do a little touch up in a few areas..

next is to get some suspension seats and make a "B" pillar support bar inside the cab
