I bought a 92 XJ about 6 weeks ago. It came with Rubicon 3.5" Super-Flex Full Lifts and 31" BFG Mud Terrains with Pacer wheels.

The front seats need replacing. The driver's seat suffers from the common lean syndrome.

First thing was to replace the original 4.0L IL6 HO with rebuilt 95 mounted on heavy duty Brown Dog motor mounts. Replaced the cooling system, intake and added Doug Thorley Headers and a Magnaflow exhaust.

Replaced the front seats last weekend. Found these on Craig's list. They were from a 2 door so I had to replace the seat track with the seat tracks from the original seats. Not a difficult task but time consuming. Turned a 10 minute swap into a 90 minute chore.

Picked up the bumpers today. Had them powder coated at Mag Masters in Santa Ana. They did a great job. This is a great shop with great people. Install starts this afternoon.

Bumper installation photos. No included instructions and the online info is limited.

Do the two door seats seem heavier than the four door seats?

Not that I could tell. Only real difference is they have the lever allowing them to fold forward.

Just ordered the follow from JCR:

Gas tank skid plate, Rock sliders (Stage 3), Utility rack (Base) with Prerunner Hoop and sides.

Also ordered the winch. I decided to go with the Smittybilt X-20 8 Comp. Waterproof and synthetic rope. Found it for a really good price. Nearly everywhere I looked had it for $549 plus shipping and some also plus tax. I got it for $524.00 total. Includes a cover. The next closest price was $592.00 without a cover.

Looking for some lights now. Not sure if I should go with LED light bars or standard off road lights or a combination of both. There are many opinions out there. I found some good info on http://www.liftlaws.com/california_lift_laws.htm regarding California light laws. Anything on the roof needs to be covered while on public roads so I am thinking a LED bar on the front bumper and standard off road lights on top. Not sure how they classify the LED light bar. They allow a max of 4 front lights on while driving. I just don't want to have to cover the LED light bar.

With the amount of monies you are investing in your Jeep,, go with the LED's. I went with the older style and changed them out almost immediately. An expensive lesson learned, go with current technology or you pay twice
