Okay guys we get it... Let's see some more things people did to their XJs. Start a "How shall we judge people who perform repairs today?" thread in Off Topic or something.

Finally opened the 2+ year old box of smittybilt sliders. Still not sure if I want to install them since you have to drill into the rockers.

Do it

These XJ's are begging to be drilled/cut/welded on.

I finally bought a shelving unit at Lowe's today so I could organize all my spare parts (and junk). It was spread out and taking up the entire floor in the spare room.

I was prepared to drill into the frame rails. Also having to drill the rockers threw me.

effed up my injector install, leaking from the engine side. I suppose I didn't lube the o-rings enough.

I considered replacing the rail, since it was tough to install injectors 1 and 2, but it looks like they're hard to come by?

Smittybilt. Don't think it connects to the pinch seam.

They came free when I bought my bumpers. It's a street rig so I likely would never USE them but still.

I put them on craigslist.
