howdy yall

[Roland the Headless]

I found yall from a youtube vid :xjtalk:

My jeep adventure starts with a 94 Xj named Eugene. :xj-green:
I have known this rig since it was new and used to park across the street from my dad's place.
I gal named Anna Banana ( I am not kidding ) bought it new :banana:
Latter she gave it to her friend Kat who I mow for...when Anna passed, she left Kat her 2012 ford!
I asked what she was gonna do with her jeep?
She said do you want it? I said yea you bet!!!! (She got 6 months of mowing for free.)
Neither one took it offroad and kat didn't take it out of the city limits. ( She didn't know it was a 5 speed. )

I live in Spokane, one of the best places in the world. ( Trails all over the place. )
I have had a few toyota 4X4s an 89, 88, 87 and a 84 all pick ups.
This is my first jeep and after a year and a half I love it.
A transgression that could get me kicked out of my GM \ Toyota family
I can see why there is such a following for theses rigs

Before
14624
After I cleaned inside and out vacuumed, waxed and painted the wheels
14625

I needed a shift knob so
14626
I introduce the Death Twinkie shifter

I ripped my bumper off ( don't ask )
14627
I fabbed some mounts and hung a 2X6 on it. well gives me a place to put my plate

Well, that is my tale and I am sitting on it.

What did you use on the paint. I would have thought that level of faded would have been unrecoverable.

I used rubbing compound then polishing compound then wax ...putting it on by hand and taking off \ polishing with a buffer

still doesn't look good in some places

I had a turd to polish and I did

this is what the drivers side looks like now
if ya look the two pix side by side I looks better than it did, but he needs a new coat of paint

Ah must have spent it's previous life in a spot that was shaded on only one side :)

[Roland the Headless]
