So I just bought my 4th Jeep, 1st XJ. It is a 1999 and has 150,000 miles, new exhaust, trany cooler, tires, 3.5" Rubicon Exp., frame stiffeners, roof rack, and of course auto trans, 4.0 I6. Supposedly it has been re geared but I wont find out to what or even if it has until I take it in to get serviced.

I ordered a front bumper with a winch plate and a rear bumper with swing out tire carrier. The guy makes them to order and ships them raw, so I will have to have them powder coated, but I only paid $665 for them and that includes shipping.

I also ordered LED projector lights from Amazon. I am most excited about this because the stock headlights suck.

I am ordering a K&N cold air intake for it as well.

Oh, and by the way I only paid $3,000 for it.

Suggestions for performance and other upgrades are welcome.

wow man.. that is a nice rig! sweet price too! my friend just bought one, and we scoured CL for weeks haha.. where did you get yours? post a link to the bumpers too.. sounds like a deal.

if you upgrade the headlights, also get a upgraded harness, otherwise it's not much of an upgrade. putco harness on amazon.. $30 i think. i replaced just the harness on my xj, and man, huge difference.

Nice bumpers I would ask the maker on more mounting for it tho that's a lot on the stock mounting

Here is the link to the eBay store of the guy who makes the bumpers.

When I get them powder coated and installed I will re post pics.

As far as the lights go that I ordered. They seem to be legit. Here is a link to them if any of you are interested. If you know they are junk from experience let me know. Otherwise I am going to try them out.

Sorry forgot to the link.

how much for your old front bumper?

Those look like the bumpers me and Alex were talking about from eBay. You HAVE to add more mounting to that tire carrier or it's gonna break the hell outta your rear end. 8 bolts for a tire carrier is just asking for trouble.

Where do I add and what do I mount it to?

bigboystoysxj

You can cut the hole out that give access to skid /hitch bolts and put tube in there welded to bumper

foco-xj

Not sure.
