Default 17year olds 01 XJ Build

So i got this bad boy for 1000$ and it runs like a top, just needs a bit of body work but thats what i do for fun is work on cars

I had to paint the passenger side front door, front drivers quarter, and front bumper

next i undercoated the bottom and got rid of all the side moldings

a buddy of mine had a set of jeep rims behind his barn so he gave em to me for free and i sprayed them black and threw them on some BFG A/ts that i got for free that have more than 70% tread

i found some blue LED light strips at Harbor freight so when my door popper bulbs went out i wired them up

then i tinted the lights

after that i made a conduit roof rack( best thing aobut this someone asked where i bought it, best feeling every!)


as i was walking into the local drug store to pick up a prescription and older gentlemen hollers at me and tells me he has a lift kit for my jeep i say no way i just was going home to order one that day, turns out it was a Rubicon Express 4.5in lift. (i was going to order a rough country) so i offer him 500$ cash on the spot, once i followed him to his house(i live in a small community no need to worry about being kidnapped) and i get out of my jeep i realize just what kind of lift it was, it wasn't just add a leaf it was the full spring pack with quick disconnect sway bar, and on top of it a YSE. Yes, all brand new in the original packages. later that night i called the local Truck accessory store to find out that i got one hell of a deal.

turns out someone in my town has a lifted blue cherokee i just had to take pictures of them before i lift mine
