yep thats a cool looking car for a young guy
mine is black too, but has many dented panels, a broken DS mirror, scratched all over, ass sags down, stock steel wheels.
I live in a knobby area where everyone drives fancy-pants new 4wds
a dude was laughing at me recently, but I mentioned my unit would go way further off-road than his 70k POS
he demurred...so I kicked mine hard, and observed to him that I believed he would be in tears when his front plastic shit got broken, logs thumped his panels, rocks bent his stupid sidestep, and his paintwork got marred, causing 10k damage + depreciation...but I would just keep charging forward
when i pimp it up, think i might stick a Mercedes star on the front to piss them off

Cheers! I do like to take care of my vehicles. The paint isn't perfect but it's in good Nick for its age. Wetsanding and buffing has helped it immensely!

Hahaha cheers mate  my matching blue babies shine very well in the sun...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA classic. Mate, a lot of blokes don't get it. I like having my cars look good. But if my XJ gets scratched or bumped out bush, it doesn't pain me. They're cheap. Parts are everywhere and it's NOT a brand new car.
My dad taught me this one. He bought a brand new 06' patrol back in the day, didn't wheel it as he didn't wanna stuff up his new baby. But had owned old 4bys he didn't care about years before.. and went off-road heaps! Because you just don't care!!
Ie use it for its intended purpose!
But all my cars have to be treated well. I'll add some more photos for entertainment purposes

Owned my XJ one year today! Since the last post, I have replaced all 4 tyres, done wheel bearings, driveshaft unis, lifted it 2" with an OME kit, done a steering stabiliser and had its first oil change! 10000km on it, clocking upto 150000km. Thanks to everyone on here for all the help on the car, wouldnt have been able to do it without you all. It has come a long way and still needs some bits and pieces, but nothing overly urgent (welsh plugs, extractors, rear drums and a front end refresh with new shocks) but majority can wait! Going vic high country with a few mates in a week, should be fun!
