Thats what Im thinking!! Hopefully this year is as good to me as last, my income will be 15-18% more cause of residual income and it may become more of a reality.. Id definitely do the modified OME/SL, my front bumper will be done by then- probably purchasing used bumper next week.. Next mth- Headers/Mid pipes and UCAs, along with other maintenance..

Update: Saturday redid upper shock mount bolt so no more rattles, looked into the adjustable sway links/discos.. I got them for free look kind of cheap but appear they will work-came from XJ. Not knowing much about them has me worried about quality..

Great looking Jeep, man. Love the MTRs and the color combo. This is off topic but I've always wondered, do XKs have a removable airdam like the WKs?
-
Thanks man, Yea it does I have removed mine since I put the OME on...

In order to prepare for the hopefully soon release on the hidden winch plate from Jon I want to get started on my bumper mod.. Im going to do it as planned before, cut like the Sal mod but instead of cutting it completely Im folding it up at a 90* angle and plastic welding it to the side.. My question is I can get a used bumper for roughly $130 shipped with minor damage or buy new at $160 shipped and worry about the aftermarket bumper being cheap and brittle as many have complained about on other forums.. Im thinking get a used bumper fix whatever needs fixing since Ill be hacking it up anyway.. What would you do?!??!?

Might as well go new. You won't have any issues with it.
-
The cheaper new one doesnt have the holes for fog lights, do you know if you have a cut it out or does it pop out like other bumpers
-
Hmm not sure. All the front bumpers should have holes in it for fog lights. I don't even have fogs on my jeep but it still has the holes.

Been awhile since Ive updated my garage, obviously everyone knows headers are coming just a matter of time. But I do have a non Jeep related garage update, as you know Ive always loved Nissan 240sx's owned a few, heres my last one..

I recently been pursuing another one and found this "gem" in RI which Ill be picking up next week..

As you see I love that color, same as my other and this one has every option including ABS which is rare to find on these, funny I know. So this one has an issue with the MAF so Ill be trailering it back and starting on rust repair on the rockers, frame rails are clean. Its an auto with 166k but the motor and transmission wont be staying long, Ill be swapping those out for either a vh45de V8 infiniti Q45 or possibly an RB25det skyline motor. It will be a project and now a part of my garage so look for updates.
Dont worry this will no effect my XK build just need something else to enjoy in the summer months, Ive been dying to get one back in my life and build it the way I wanted to when I was in college but didnt have the funds. Plus, how sweet will it be trailering it behind my XK!!?!?!

plan on converting it to a Silva S14/15 ?
