Hello all this is my first Jeep and i'm new to the wheelin' community. I have been building this XJ for about a year now and just starting to do some light trail runs to test everything out and see how she does.
First days at the lot where I got her. Attachment 323950 Attachment 323951 Attachment 323952 One of the First things I did was new HID lights then I purchased 2 extra stock roof rails from some guy at a gas station, and a decent roof rack was thrown on the roof. At the time I was employed at my local Oreilly's so I got MSD wires and MSD coil, E3 spark plugs and K&N cold air intake. I also replaced the powersteering pump, pully, hoses and an alternator and a harmonic ballencer, serpentine belt and sway bar bushings and shock bushings and motor mounts all to track down squeeks. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...e/jeep/092.jpg Attachment 323953 Attachment 323954 Next was a set of 33x12.5.15 GT GRABBER http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...e/jeep/239.jpg Attachment 323955 And the vary next thing was to cut out the fenders and put on some Bushwacker flares Taking a die grinder to your new rig is kinda scary but I did better than the directions suggested. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...e/jeep/245.jpg Attachment 323956 Attachment 323957 Attachment 323958 |

Second Post to keep it neat
After those projects I re wired the lights put everything on relays and added back up lights on the rack along with a WOLO beacon just incase. installed a CB and set up my interior with products from my new job RAM MOUNTS. Attachment 323942 I put 9 surface mount switches in this stock panel just a little grinding with the rotary tool to make it all one level and made a template and wired it all up to relays. Attachment 323943 here is my full dash iPad mount for topo maps and crudely drawn USFS maps. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...e/jeep/066.jpg Attachment 323944 Rear view mirror hiolds a GRAMAN GPS that tracks my movements and overlays them on a map and tracks telemetry. Attachment 323945 A second form of communication a hand help 2 meter FM VHF radio Attachment 323946 The iPhone X-Grip mount with the tilt meter app works real nice Attachment 323947 some back seat essentials Attachment 323948 Attachment 323949 |

Ram mounts are awesome! Have them in my vehicles and on my motorcycle. Nice job.
|
Nice rig! :D
|
Thanks everyone!!
So I had such a blast tearing up the hills this weekend I cracked the frame next to the steering box... SHIZA!! ok so what to do and how to do it is my question for all the seasoned XJ users what is the best fix for this? I want to go again this weekend =) |
Oh and stuckinthecedar working for RAM MOUNTS is the best company I am part of the Production Management Team and what goes in to the parts is top end stuff! I try to get the mounts to fail on the trail and they all stand up to the test.
