Nice job & your XJ looks great. Looks like you have good plans for your ride. Don't forget to trim your front bumper end caps before wheeling.

I decided to buy an air saw & it works really good. The blade is smaller & easy to control. I was @ HD to see if they had blades but they don't. I'm just glad I ordered extra blades. I guess if you dont have a air compressor, then it would not do you any good though.

No, no air compressor. I actually saw one at Sears today while I was doing some tool shopping. They had a 3 gallon pancake compressor for $70. I was tempted! I've heard of people using all kinds of tools to trim their fenders. I guess I'll use whatever tool is closer to me.

They measure a lil more than 2 1/2 inches in diameter. I think that I'm going to put one on each fender. I got them on Ebay for $30. What do you guys think?

So I did some shopping last night. I bought some smoked clear corners and some diamond cut Halo headlights. I got both of them on ebay. Got the Smoked clear corners for $54 shipped and the headlights for $30 shipped.
Here are the pics

I have been wanting to rep the forum since I first got on this. And my CF stickers haven't arrived so I figured since I have the equipment to make decals that I might as well make my own. I decided to make them in silver so that they can kinda match my Jeep. They came out pretty good. I made them 3" x 22"

So about 2 days ago I put in an order for Halo Headlights off of Ebay. And to my surprise they came in today!!! This is the first time that I buy something off of Ebay and it gets shipped to my door in 2 days.. So I just had to mount them right away.

The old

The NEW!!

I just finished testing the lights out and believe me that it is a big difference in the level of brightness. A very well $30 spent!!!

Thanks man!! Don't get it twisted... in order for me to buy my new toys, I had to buy my wife some new toys first

as far as the Halos as of right now I haven't connected the Halo part of the head light. I'm not a big fan of those things either. I feel like Halos are more for the people who like cars that are low to the ground and travel a 1/4 of a mile in 10 sec. Since I rather do the 1/4 of a mile in an Hour in the type of terrain that makes those little cars **** in their tires. I don't think I will be connecting those Halos. I just basically bought them cuz the headlights are clear and came with H4 bulbs. For $30 I thought it would be a good buy

I also received my 3/4" D-ring shackles. Now all I need is the bumper to hang them on
