I agree. 2 door XJ's are the best type of cherokee. Yeah, like you my build is coming along slowly, but surely. Next thing to go in is the new stereo.

I got out of work early today so I got a pair of lights to mount in the rear bumper
1. holes in the top of the bumper
2. bracket and wood spacer
3. my ebay speakers came!
4. light mounted
5. side

its kinda messy but a file and some spray will fix that... maybe tomorrow I gotta go to my 2nd job now
