Also installed an extra reverse light today. I'll get another one to even it up, I just wanted to see if I liked it [I do ]

got my second reverse light wired up, It's just running straight off of the reverse circuit right now, but soon I'll wire them up to a relay and switch.

It needs a wash, but it's been too cold.

Yeah I like it, though, XJs are everywhere and the color makes it unique without being super flashy.

Anyway. I cut my fenders with the help of Cherokeefever. Then went wheeling on Sunday with my new wheels/tires. I banged it up a little haha.

No lift the tires are 30"

Some updates, been doing lots of small stuff. 100K mile maintenance, all the fluids and brakes and such. Got my roof rack mostly finished aside from an air deflector, some clearance lights, and some other small stuff. LED upgrade in my dash. ZJ rear disk brakes. Working on a rear receiver hitch.

Nice build. Interesting color! That roof rack is a bit tall though! Anything new with this thing?

Sorry I have not been updating too much. Not really anything new besides a trans temp gauge installed and lots of wheeling. Got H4 upgrade headlights and relay headlight harness, as well as a factory tire carrier.

Reverse lights are mounted on the mounting bracket for the spoiler I broke off.
