LOL!
thanks.

 

as you may have seen in my thread, I have and frequently use my Hella 700FF driving lights. The other day the rain then fog was so bad even with them I had a hard time seeing...
SO time to upgrade the bulbs!
they came with 55 watt bulbs, I just put in 100 watt bulbs (also from Hella) and OMG WTF!!!
It's hard to explain how much brighter they are now, saying they are 2 or even 4 times brighter does not do any justice.
Same thing goes for pictures... I probably took 25 before and after pictures to show the difference and as cameras just don't do well at night and with lights.

But here is the one picture that I think might show how much light is thrown.

If you are thinking the heat would be a factor, due to the size of the 700FF the heat is dissipated very quickly and do not feel any warmer then the 55 watt bulbs that where in there.

I emailed the man and he says everything is solid. heres what his email says: Chris, Great questions. Yes its 4 Wheel Drive and the transmission works great. Tires are Good Year Wrangler and have been fairly recently purchased. They have a great deal of life ahead of them. No funny noises. Paints in great shape as is the overall body. I would say IF you wanted to put discretionary dollars into the Jeep I would say a set of shocks.


Here's the deal. I'm a Dad of two sons. I purchased his vehicle for them and am a safety nut. I took the vehicle to Chrysler after we purchased it and had them go through the vehicle. I am sure I paid too much but they went through the car and did whatever they thought needed to be done. It has been extremely reliable. We simply don't need the vehicle anymore as my sons are in and out of college.


I would be happy to discuss this or if you desire to take it for a ride let me know. I can be reached at...

Okay any input?

 

looks like a good deal.

 

My '90 XJ has one of those in the overhead console but, I have no key fob so it's useless. That and the fact that the power portion of the drivers door lock doesn't work.

 

a long trip about to start...

 

not the greatest picture I've taken...
Just entered in to Louisiana, and took a break to check out the XJ and the bathrooms lol
All was well, time for some sleep and then to the water for some Yak fishing!
Btw, getting a solid 19 mpg... wish it was 20 so I could do the math easier :P

 

Looking food. Good luck with the fishing

 

Awesome - looks great all packed with stuff! I just got a 99 XJ last week to replace my tired, old 96 and it's got me so excited, especially your posts because my new 99 is the same color green! I'm pumped to get it all tuned up and lifted so I can take my first road trip in it. You gotta be havin a blast, thanks for the posts and good luck on the water!

 

Those blurs from the traffic on the highway in the background make me want red neon tubes on my rain gutters...

 

It's been very windy here, not good for kayaking

 

thanks guys

 

I also recently replaced my 96 with a green 99. Haha

 

some updates, XJ is doing great.
and some other updates...

 

Red Fish! It doesn't get any better than that! looks like the wind settled down for you. Good timing on the cool front.
Where exactly are you in Louisiana?
