First of all, I finally got my PIAA 520’s wired up and working today
Where I mounted the switch
working on repairing the rust
I decided these two sections needed to be replaced with new metal
Hopefully I will be welding in new metal tomorrow….I finished the day off by cleaning up the floor
I took a few minutes this morning and finished stripping the interior. The great news is that there is no more rust holes on the drivers side.
That only leaves me with a total of 2 holes in the floor to repair, and the biggest one is the size of a quarter!
At the GLJT Show and Shine today, someone brought a scale so we could weigh our jeeps, and I got some good info on my XJ today
The weight of my XJ with me in it is: 4115 lbs
It breaks down like this:
front left: 1105 lbs
front right: 900 lbs
rear left: 1163 lbs
rear right: 1100 lbs
This was with an almost full gas tank
Passenger seat gone
Center console taken out
The floor isn’t too bad under the passenger side front either. There are a few spots that need a little work, and one hole about the size of a quarter. The rest of the floor actually seems really solid.
here’s the one hole
Just some pictures of the hood spacers I built today, which should help get some of the heat out from under the hood when I am on the trail and not moving very fast.
Just some square tube and bolts

After the spacer
The finished product
