I'm in the same boat as you. I havnt sold the beemer yet though. I have an e46 325xi touring. It's a bomb. I'm still thinking of how I'm going to take hairpins and pass on the highway ...
But I want a jeep. Enough said .

And by the way, nice xj! I'm following this one.

tsk tsk....the whole reason behind getting a jeep is to go beyond where other vehicles will take you...this means trying to beat it up. Trust me...that thing will last if you maintain it. ;D

Nice rig by the way...looks just like mine! Mine's a '91 XJ Limited. New to me about a week. I also have a 325i Bimmer but its currently sitting in my driveway awaiting a new head (blew mine taking on a 'vette).

The Silicone is drying now for the switches, have nothing to hook them up to yet and i will make a tutorial on how i did if anyone wants.

hopefully in the next few days i will get myself a power inverter atleast 1000 watts, minimum, have to check prices and brands, most of the stores around here carry PEAK, i've had bad experiances with their smaller ones so i'm unsure if i want to mount one in the Jeep
