Research, research, research. I can't say that enough. I'm 18 now and on my 3rd/4th Jeeps. 3 Cherokees and 1 Comanche in, you learn a lot by hand and hard lessons but if I could do anything different it would have been to do more in depth research before I bought products or dove into projects.

On that note, stay lower height-wise. It looks 20x better than being tall with the same size tires. You will also want(NEED) to regear soon.

Awesome rig though! My favorite color on the XJs personally, good luck!

But they're pretty nice and they're bright as **** so it's good. I didn't want to spend so much because I'm not allowed to buy my bumper till I have $1000 saved and I'm close aha.
