Bought some $10 yellow fogs from Harbor Freight and finally installed them, couldn't be happier. Easiest wire install ever for someone who hates wiring. Just had to extend some grounds and the switch wires.

 

Took her out for some dry fun. As you can see we've had some brush fires here in Houston, Tx. Girlfriend brought her RWD WK out too.

 

Looks like you had fun!! And that first pic is awesome lol

 

Zone HD stabilizer is on, night and day difference!!

About to install new rear axle shaft bearings today because ive been getting horrible noise from the D35. Gonna do oil change seeing tho as it's about time and also throw in another Jimmy leaf on both rear packs.

Updated pics tonight

 

What a fcking night :/

Buddy of mine in a GC got cutoff by a BMW and flipped his jeep over. He crawled out before any emergency services got there. Crazy thing is we were parked next to him 5 minutes before talking to him and he said he was going to pick his girl up from work and when he said "I'll be back guys" I told my gf something doesn't feel right.

 

*** holes and their BMW's. My buddy bought a 4runner, the day he got it, he got rear ended in a parking lot by someone in a beamer. And the guy thought It was all good, like no harm no foul. But it left a tiny dent on the 4 runner, but messed up the front clip on the BMW. lol

 

6 feet tall, huh? my wife is 6 feet tall (i'm only 5'8").

Oh yeah, we're talking about jeeps... I normally don't really like green on any car, but yours is super clean. looks good.

 

Finally got some rain in Houston so went out to remind the Jeep what dirt feels like

 

Sad part is I work at BMW :/

Lol yep, I'm only 5'11 myself. And thanks for the comment. It's nice to hear my baby looks good (my xj) lol

 

I like everything about this build thread so far.

How is the quality of the Autopal headlight housings? I want better headlights as well and not sure if I should get those or pay a bit more for the ones from Hella or IPF.

I bought those same HF Fogs but couldn't use them b/c they wouldn't mount to the existing holes for the factory foglights. I don't really want to drill another set of holes so for now I'm trying to see if I can find some thinner lights that will work.

 

Thanks broskii !!!!! Really means a lot!

The quality of the headlights is worth a lot more than you end up paying for them (think I paid $37.00 with shipping.) Honestly they're worth atleast $100.00 IMO. I highly recommend them!

And, my xj also had the holes in the bumper for the oem fogs (I think PO took fogs off) and I was able to mount the HF fogs in there with no problems. What year is your xj? Maybe theres a difference

 

Went out to play at the beach house. Awesome weekend!!

New oem trackbar $20, new poly bushings $10, back to driving like a real jeep with no alignment or bumpsteer problems = priceless

 

She loves being in pictures huh?


Love the new bushings

 

Lol yeah she does. Plus I thought she'd draw attention away from the flaws on the XJ

And the track bar and bushings are amazing. It's like night and day difference from my old bar with shot bushings. I'm about to go up to 4'5 - 5" inches up front so I'm in the market for an adjustable trackbar just can't find one I like that doesn't cost an arm and a leg

 

Rusty's makes a nice one for 120 I believe. She does attract a little bit of attention. lol I like your tactics.
