Prepped and taped

Finished product.

All the trim was faded and just looked like crap. Im amazed with how well this turned out. Taped, sanded, prep wipe and then duplicolor truck bed coating.
Good job! Looks good man!

Lower control arms . Hated to use what was given to me (pro comp tubuar with thane bushings) but they will get my by plus these longer lowers got rid of my death wobble issue at 35-45 mph.

The back lights in my dash are not working.... So my first thought was the headlight switch went bad. Bought a new one from napa and put it in. They still don't work but at least I can eliminate the switch as the cause..

What year is that 96. I think the dash has a ground wire in the engine bay right behind it. Give it a quick check. Could be wrong but worth a check

No it's a 99. Do you think it would have the same or similar ground?

Yep. Check ground. Are the bulbs good? Fuse?

Yeah I replaced the blown (and missing) fuses when I bought it. Tomorrow ill check the ground and track down some replacement bulbs. The odd this was is they worked the very first time I turned them on... Then later that day I went to turn them on again and they all clicked off. Like everything on the gauges dash radio and drive selector...

Added hella 700ff lights to my bumper. And put my home made cold air back on.

In the future do not talk about removing or modifying your cat converter. It is illegal.

Default Napier V2 Fenders

Hey XJ'rs. Got a set of the Napier V2 Fenders. Got the front cut and prepared. Tomorrow the rear. Going to be a little more work. I'm going to cut and fold the rear Q.s . Doug Napier at Napier is a great guy. Gave me a lot of input over the phone.

So. Cal. O.C.

Sounds like you might have a short somewhere I'd check the fuse again
