well im new hope (to posting), i hope you love the jeep, and the ideas,
any questions on how i did anything, im glad to help, maybe even a write up

morning of FIRST true muding trip, 95% stock

little fishing that day


HIT a log going about 25mph, though i blew the tire tons of fun...

where i had my cb antenna/flag pole

WELL i messed up the front bumper, time for a new one!

uninstall

ditched old

turns out you can't drive with out a bumper so its back on with 2 bolts,
also sprayed grill with spray bedliner



got this for $80 and a grinder (just bumper) also made the roof rack in the photo, re did it latter on... keep looking

bought these custom made, (with plenty of over spray...)

235's! and you can see the re done roof rack with (4) lights


RANDOM PHOTOS THEN I'LL MOVE INSIDE


a real tool box


he was soooo close


INSIDE:
Blue floor lights

cb and 12v outlets

switches in the center console

inverter in the center console (rear)

gps 12v plug and mount, love how it worked out



new fuse box for add ons


ran 4 awg wire to it


inline fuse

entered fire wall here

took console out and cut a hole for wires



WELL
this is what i have now


added 5 led brake lights on the rear of the jeep CB antenna mount on the roof rack, raised the roof rack to 6.5 inches (i think) and added a tire carrier added the warn GO PREPARED decal, dropped the "Nerf bars" and bed lined the jeeps floors and repaired rust, i guess that's it, for now

Looks like you are enjoying your Jeep. Thats one hell of a deal on that bumper!

jeepsurfer1

glad you took those high-center hangers off your jeep (your nerf bars) nerf bars are useless in my mind when it comes to cherokee's. Nice front bumper btw!

jeepsurfer1

yea i had them on with big slef taping screws through the floor, and when i went the bed line the jeep didn't want holes in it so they had to go, also i flatted one on a rock on a local ride so they went to the scrap pile

update : jeep is (has been) broken down for about 4 days, but i haven't broken the bank and plan on getting a lift in the next few weeks, 4.5 short arm from rc for around about $900, then Iceland Offroad Go Berserk Jeep XJ Fender Flares, and we'll see where it goes from there

Those blue interior lights look great. Care to share how you did those?

Nice looking jeep, cant wait to see it with the lift.

jeepsurfer1

okay, no prob give me a little while i got to go get pics of the wiring and how their held up and things like that

jeepsurfer1

inside lights (blue)



okay heres the drivers side lights, easy to find at most walmarts, but i recommend ebay, for price and brightness

they stick on with 3m tape pretty simple mounting and where i put it so i'll move to wiring

its pretty simple your leds will have a positive and negitive, i cut the wires from the stock bulb mount and + to +, - to -, simple stuff



SO now for the big led light bar


okay below you'll see the stock lighting control wires, (the ones that go to the right) you'll have three wires in this bundle you'll half to keep mixing the wires up till you get the + - wires (the ones controlled by the dome light switch) and tape your light strip to the support bar up top and enjoy





and this is what i got, i know this is not a quality write-up but its almost 4 am and its 23* outside... i hope this helps you, if thiers anything else i can help with let me know!
