Yeah, there was definitely a learning curve. I still don't drive worth a damn. Some of the guys I wheel with definitely go places I'm not very comfortable with, but they've been very helpful and supportive. Learning without lockers is the way to go. Forces you to become a better driver I think and a lot easier on parts . . . Now it's almost too easy.

I love the LED headlights! They really are a big improvement over the stock lights..i even like them better than the 6000k hid i had on my blue beast..

Thanks Chris. It pretty much all started with those Moab's you sold me. Definitely would like to get out and wheel with you sometime - maybe this fall . . .

Stopping by again. You have any pics of where you mounted your cb module box? I got the same CB and not sure where I want it mounted. Doesn't seem to be many of these in XJ's

No pics. I didn't hard mount the module. I just hid the module and all the wiring under the front of the center console. It's just sitting there on the carpet, but I've had no issues.

Nothing much to report. I did install a set of VisionX Tantrum rock lights awhile back. Haven't taken any pictures of them installed yet, but they're pretty cool.
Haven't had much time to work on the Jeep lately.
Been out wheeling 2 or 3 times the past couple months. It's finally cooling off enough here to want to get out and do something.

Just went through this entire thread. Great lookin rig brother. And I appreciate all the detailed pics with your build. Not sure if I should have ventured into this thread. Now I have added more things to my wish list
