Easy priced Xj Upgrades?
I just got a cherokee xj and it is the most basic stock one you can get with 4x4 added. No tint , steelie rims and so on...What are some cheaper easy applied upgrades I can do in order to change the look a bit? I plan on tint and tires with white letters. I plan on painting the rims black when the weather gets a bit nicer (should I use a flat finish?)...I added a much needed drink cup holder that fit the factory console and I took off the antenna and replaced it with 13" flexible rubber antenna.....What is a good site to look for easy upgrades? What are some of your suggestions to help the look? Are there leaf springs that will lift it an 1 or 2 without having to change the break lines? Any help or pics would be great....Thanks in advance...T

I think I have found that I need a size 194 bulb......I seen some blue led ones on ebay for about 10 bones...

Who ever owned it before installed a JVC cd player and it has a bright blue back light so thats why I was thinking blue dash lights....
I love that Homebrew thread...got some cool ideas....My rockers are rusted out bad so using the 2 x 4 steel weld might be the cheapest route.. Although it looks like the steel may cost double what the rockers cost off ebay...Also liked the bike rack mod for the tire...
