Well now I'm going to also have to redo my headliner since its sagging. Also trying to figure out a design to cut out of a 1 foot by 2 foot sheet of 22g steel to mount a pair of driving/fog lights since I don't want to drill into my front bumper but that's where I mounted them on my old truck and I liked them there

Well since I had the time and storage shelves I decided to reorganize my tools and gear in my shop.
Also does anyone know why this was connected to the relay for the electric fan?
I also seem to be missing some fuses from before I purchased it from the dealer.... so its a good thing I just bought a new box of mini's

Well I went out to Tampa today and decided to stop at a local salvage yard on the way back. Grabbed a few dash air vents for above the radio since I managed to brake mine. Also was about to grab a grille and headlight bezel from a pre 96 XJ to swap out with mine since I like the look of the older XJ grills. Decided not to grab either of the grills I found since both were cracked or just broken right off the vehicle for the radiator.

Also following the video on Youtube from Bleepin Jeep I made a auxiliary fuse and rely box from a pre 96 XJ fuse box. Get it wired up and plugged in my off road driving lights. Here are some pixs of the lights and I post some pixs of the fuse box tomorrow during my lunch break.

I run brown dog rubber mounts. However I don't feel the mounts on the block are necessary or worth it. I have nothing but good to say about my mounts, very good quality!

Well it's time to show what I've been up to.
Since my last post I have quit my job as a dishwasher to take on my job as a handyman full time so my XJ is now a work rig.
Started with this...
So I made this...
Also since for work I work around an area of 7 counties I had to get my CB working again.... I bought a new 4 foot tuneable Firestik antenna with the heavy duty spring.... but I forgot to get the antenna to cable adapter. Does anyone know where I can get one fast? my local radioshack is out of stock and the closest CB shop is permanently closed and the other is a custom shop that is only open by appointment
