Father daughter team from NE. 99 XJ
This is our 2nd XJ, and 6th Jeep. Started with FSJ, J-10 short box, eventually moved to Wranglers. As Oddly as the Jeep world turn, I ended up trading our 1ton stretched on 37's crawler for this XJ that started out as a build on here.
I'm hoping to find the original thread/user name, but we've got plans to continue it and be apart of the community.
Been a part of Jeeps and building vehicles for a long time, used to moderate the BTF forums, and organize the 4XFEST for 5yrs in NE.
If anyone can help me locate the original builder from here that would be great. (they were from the Great Lakes area.)
Here's a pic of the YJ we built and traded for the 99 XJ, and the XJ as is sits when we got it.

There was a forsale add of the owner/Jeep the way it looks now that was from here, It just never posted the build thread. I will be trying to locate it just to see how and what was done, etc.
The Big YJ was just too over the top not to be used like it should and since my bad accident, I just can't take hardcore wheeling anymore. So, The girl and I finished it off to sell or trade. She'll be using it to drive back N forth to College/work and we'll try and get some easier trail rides in and still have some fun with it.
She cried like crazy when the purple one pulled away, but she seems determined to start a new chapter now and we've already got plans to further the mods on the XJ. So far I've read a lot of threads here to help with a plan on making smart mods that will make sense for how we intend to use it. Great Forum here, we'll be around for a while.

Seams like that owner and the one I just got it from both did a bunch to it and then went for a more extreme dream. I'm excited about the whole daily driver / trail rig thing. Gonna have us some fun....
