Have a little time, so i decided to do a few cosmetic changes to the MJ so this is before: Tying the Rockrail into the doorjam. slid a piece of 2 x 1x 3/16th on top of that : tacked in then added a piece of 3/4 x 3/16th flatbar from corner to corner Also picked up a set of doors off a '97 XJ. power mirrors and manual window winders which is what i wanted. These are bolt ons, they changed the hinge style in the '98 an up. Still doable but more work. test fit have to paint the inner panel grey to get rid of the tan New style door striker tacked on, still have to add bolts and backing plates for strength from behind. thought i was going to get lucky and reuse the original striker bolt hold but it was just a little too far off Now to tear it off again and paint the door jam and around the inside of the door. picked up the paint last week, its called 'sparkling graphite' off a bmw, its a dark grey gun metal color..........stay tuned ;D

yep its home made. Got into it a little more today, replaced my original fenders with the proper ones of the newer cherokees. I had my older ones rounded off with filler, but ive had these fenders for a few years now in the shed. I am looking for a little plastic piece for the antenna where it meets the fender if anyone has one off a cherokee.

didnt get a whole lot done today, but got a good start on re-facing the rollpan: the source for the new face heres some pics johnny, i can get more just let me know what of. the top is 1.5x1.5 square, the bottom is 1x2, if i were to do it again i would actually go to the store and pick up something like 3/4x3/4 square tubing, this is overkill but its what i had kicking around at the time. heres its pulled out so you can see the contours of the bottom of the bed on the bench curving the alum. around, holding it until the self tappers are in and finally trimmed to fit, going to paint it as is, then install with SS selftappers afterwards.

Pretty neat the way you built the roll pan ! Is there a lifted Nissan that lives across the street from you ?
