Lookin good, how's it go... Haters gotta hate. "F" those naysayers. They're just jealous, who doesn't want a lifted station wagon? Lol

Keep it up, our XJ's last forever, body will fall off before the drivetrain goes.

Huh...I only got hate for my xj from like one or two people ever...But lots of people tell me it's sick...Even the kids who aren't into vehicles think they're awesome and some people are surprised when I tell them my xj is 15 years old...They think it looks mid-2000s. In fact, I mentioned offhandedly to a few friends that it'd be nice to have something newer, faster, and shinier....They said that my Jeep was awesome and asked why I'd ever do that? And ive had people say that its a real nice vehicle and that they'd love one...strangely lots of them are girls who like it??? Not to be sexist or anything, but I was surprised how many appreciated my Jeep, even with sagged stock leafs....Bottom line, don't listen to the people hating.

P.S. move to a snowy state and laugh at the haters who are stuck everywhere in their Hondas while you're plowing through snow drifts and parking on snowbanks for fun haha.

It's cause I work at a dealership (Chrysler)
Where they all sew brand new wranglers and the ugly *** new cherokees and just new cars in general
It's all the older guys and mechanics that appreciate it.

Otherwise all my coworkers drive
Srt8 grand cherokee
Super built Nissan 370z twin turbo
2013 Lancer Evo

4 or 5 of the salesmen have huge JKs some with superchargers and they don't respect the xj either.
Oh well
Im over it

And yeah Omaha is in the top 5 for snow is city's so I hear all that lol

Already so GD annoyed by the wiring issues with these jeeps
Locking doors windows AHHHH

JeepaholicNinja 08-24-2014 10:04 PM

Lol your doors lock themselves too, maybe? I took the fuse out for mine and had to bypass my window lock so all the window switches worked from all the doors...

Nah I just sit there for enough time to be late for work or class trying to get them all to lock lol
And the windows only go up/down with the driver controls

Yeah the window thing is the same as mine. There are lots of write ups on bypassing the window lock switch, which is probably what your problem is

Beautiful XJ and I love that color. Wanted a gold one too but could not find one affordable. Bought a Solar Yellow one instead. Gonna follow your build.

Small little picure update...
Other updates include all interior lights switched to leds
Pioneer 4 channel amp installed under back bench
Alpine type r 6.5 coaxials mounted in front doors
Will add pictures of anything if people want
Crushed section of the S pipe located after the exhaust manifold replaced with 2.5" pipe
Spectre cowl intake installed...came up with a very effective way to silence the damn thing. Took a piece of rubber plumbing bent at a 90° angle and fit it through there so the intake is pointed AWAY from the cabin intake .

Otherwise I got my bumper primered with eastwood 2k epoxy primer...I figure it's the best of the cheap options.went down real smooth and dried hella fast. Once the bedliner tint comes in the mail I should have it sprayed and ready to mount
