Lemme tint your windows! I call a non tinted vehicle the "fishbowl" look. Lol

I agree with everything oej said. I'm going to have a co phase setup for my cb soon. 2 four foot red white and blue firestiks

Speaking of this.... What do you guys plan on doing to get your rigs ready for the event?? I know it's early but still.

I'm going to get rear armor plates, bumpstop, Co phase cb setup, redo my plasti dip, redo my headliner(install overhead console while I'm at it.) clean the engine bay up, get my roof rack all rigged up with lights/jerry can/ hi lift. Possibly be re geared by then and hopefully make some bumpers/sliders with surfingg19!

And if course detail the heck out of it.

Even if you don't install a cb get some black fiberglass wips and install them in the top bolt of the taillights. dual wips.
hood vents, if thats you thing.

Maybe some roof lights, pillar lights, some rear O/R lights hooked up to reverse.

idk man. what do you want to do.
I actually have a cb and the antenna is on the roof, just folded over. I'm thinking about tint and trimming is a definite, I just need help lol. I like the look of the rhinolined flares which is what I have now so I may keep that. Will trimming make her look a little more lifted?

I trimmed mine when it was at stock height with stock wheels. I rolled around like that for a little before I put my lift and wheels on and people thought I was already lifted lol. It definitely does.

I do all my own tint.. Well I do all my own everything. If your ever down in south jerz I'll do it for you!

I just knew what I had in store for the xj so I figured why not get the trimming done and over with. It was almost a shame to cut up such a cherry cherokee.

Not to brag or anything but I'm pretty good at trimming since I've done it so many times.

Let's get together one weekend and work on the jeeps. I have a spot with a lift/compressor/tools

The fronts are really simple. It's the rears that can really end up looking like crap. I'm sure we can figure out a way to make the stock flares work
